100 Orgasms A Day: Freak Accident Leaves Man With A Debilitating Disorder (Video)
December 19, 2014
You read the title. It brought you here. A hundred orgasms a day…debilitating???
It is unbelievable, but the video segment above will help you believe…and understand. But before you completely understand, your disbelief may give way to a couple of chuckles. You’re human, and this is a very strange thing. One that will likely make you uncomfortable and maybe frighten you a bit; a real example of too-much-of-a-good thing made all too real. It is not good.
Read on. Meet Dale. Try to understand.
A heartbroken man suffers from 100 orgasms each day – but does not enjoy a single one. Dale Decker is the first man to ever speak publicly about Persistent Genital Arousal Syndrome – a condition he developed in September 2012 when he slipped a disc in his back while getting out of a chair. On his way to the hospital he suffered his first five orgasms and has been given no respite from them since. The painful pelvic episodes have left him housebound and isolated through fear of suffering a public orgasm. Dale lives in Two Rivers, Wisconsin with his wife April and two sons Christian, 12 and Tayten, 11. While she does everything she can to support him, April, 33 is finding Dale’s condition just as hard to live with as he is. The horrific condition has cost Dale many of his friends and the relationship he shares with his sons has also been affected. Despite suffering from a near constant erection Dale and April rarely have sex.

Deal Or Unreal: House For Sale Has Roller Coaster Running Through It (Video)
December 15, 2014
Is this real or not? Watch as NBC Today Show co-host Tamron Hall tries to bust the myth, but Al Roker counters with what has to be the best line of reasoning that allows full enjoyment of the video embedded above:
“I don’t care…ROLLER COASTER…IN THE HOUSE!”
It’s in The Netherlands. Been on the market for over 6 months. And it’s pretty pricy, according to The Today Show. But looks kinda fun though, right?

Yasiin Bey Enjoys Hypnotic Melodies In Morocco (Video)
December 8, 2014
Yasiin Bey chills in a restaurant halfway ’round the world; bobbing heads with natives and appreciative travelers to Gnawa jams. Originally introduced to Morocco by Sub-Saharan slaves sounding off and singing their aches away, this is definitely a music form under-appreciated by Westerners. But if you are going to do music for the world, you gots to be all in it and around it. Respect to Yasiin. Best believe the brother is taking in the entertainment and the influences. It’s what artists do. Watch.

November 26, 2014
Jay Smooth always comes correct with the insightful social commentary on a variety of topics & events. The recent riots & protests taking place around the country in relation to what’s happening in Ferguson, Missouri is no different.

Sex & Broadcasting (Trailer)
November 17, 2014
We know the story of WFMU, 91.1 FM New York. Not specifically that station, but about hardworking folk who work at a radio show, doing shows and the work it takes to make them out of pure love (e.g. no money), devotion and a sense of duty to the community. We have been doing it for years, for our show – Beatz & Lyrics – every week, for listeners worldwide. So this trailer touched a special part of our collective soul.
Check out the trailer for the VICE documentary on the New Jersey station. Looks good!

Muscle & Fitness: How A 5’5 Basketball Player Trained Himself To Dunk (Video)
November 17, 2014
You know… when you grow up to be 5’5″ tall, and play basketball… you can get so far. Someone will coach you up; let you play… like through high school or so. After that you are likely on your own. At 5’5″ and want to slam dunk? Man, you are on your own!
Fine by Brandon Todd. He decided he wanted to dunk…hard. So tried hard, studied hard, worked out extraordinarily HARD and applied what he learned (about physical development)… and… well, watch!
“You see someone small. Don’t count them out!”
– Brandon Todd
Great story. Inspirational. Call the kids over to watch with you.

Marijuana Stories: Meet The Real Nancy Botwin From ‘Weeds’ (Video)
November 11, 2014
Well, well… Dr. Dina (former D.A.R.E. kid, ha!)… has been taking care of her patients with recommendations of medical marijuana – patients like Snoop Dogg – waaaaay before Showtime put out the show ‘Weeds.’
‘Weeds,’ Showtime’s highest-rated television show, is the story of a single mom who starts an illegal weed business to provide for her family. With marijuana now being largely legal in Oregon, Alaska, Colorado, and Washington, Showtime’s crime sitcom no longer seems like outlandish fiction. In this episode, VICE tracks down a real-life Nancy Botwin—Dr. Dina, medical weed consultant to stars like Snoop Dogg and 2 Chainz.
Talk about art imitating life! Click play and check out the incredible story of how medical ‘Mary J’ came to spread across the area in Cali. VICE’s Gianna Toboni reports.

Officially Ranked: The Top 25 Black Men’s Hairstyles
October 31, 2014
The [Caesar is the] one haircut that has never — and will never — go out of style. There were Black men with Ceasars in the 40s, the 70s, the 90s, and now. Every other cut cycles. The Ceasar is forever.
– Very Smart Brothas
Truth (even though dude above ain’t hearing it). Epic reporting on an under-appreciated urban topic. Ice Cube covered “The Barbershop” culture, and Chris Rock did the “Good Hair” movie… but there is something left to be addressed. Black men’s hairstyles have changed dramatically since before The Dramatics and will likely keep doing so beyond the next dance rap craze. But who will document the styles that made the man over the decades thus far. Don’t worry. The Brothas got you…

‘Reading Rainbow’ My A$$… Star Trek’s LeVar Burton Reads “Go The F— To Sleep” (Video)
October 28, 2014
This post is funny AND touching. Gather ’round kids and get your funny first… Uncle LeVar aka young Kunta Kinte (‘Roots’) aka Lt. Commander Geordi Laforge (Star Trek: The Next Generation) is going to read one more nighty-night story. Just ONE more, and y’all are really pushing it.
For reaching our stretch goal, LeVar Burton sits the Rooster Teeth employees down for a reading of the popular “bedtime story.” This was done as part of Rooster Teeth’s 24-hour live-stream for Extra Life. Consider making a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital of your choice. Visit http://www.extra-life.org/ to find out what you can do to help.
Well, done Commander. Well f–king done! Info on the very worthy cause for which Mr. Burton willingly stepped far outside his public persona to read, Extra Life, is included after the jump.
(Warning: Get some tissue.)

Live From China: Dog Meat Festival (Documentary)
October 20, 2014
“It’s meaty… horribly, horribly meaty… mixed with that familiar doggy smell…”
Okay. Westerners may need to settle themselves and their stomachs. And open their minds. Yes. It’s just as you’d suspect: VICE is at a meat market (in the Chinese province of Yulin) where they butcher and sell dogs to lots and lots of people who eat them. You will hear shocking terms used… like tasty… and healthy…
No judgements. Okay, that’s bull… but watch the video expo though. It’s VICE, so you know the reporting will come at the story from a different perspective that might cause you to rethink. Compelling.
(Gotta say… the reporter, Izzy Yeung, is hella cute.)

October 18, 2014
There ought to be some money in this… Just saying. An Aaron Rodgers’ look-alike so good he fools some Green Bay residents? Yep, that’s Tom Wrigglesworth (who?).

The Moped Gangs of London (Video)
September 30, 2014
Internet superstardom. Merchandising. Respect among pros and serious enthusiasts. Respect the riders… of mopeds! Hold your chuckles, the UK Bikelife has ’nuff respect for this special breed of Biker Boyz.
Mopeds and teenage boys have gone hand-in-hand since the 1960s. But in the last year UK BikeLife culture – where young scooter riders upload videos of themselves wheelie-ing down motorways and through industrial estates – has exploded, with the scene’s leaders picking up thousands of YouTube and Instagram followers in the process.
These British riders are beginning to receive international attention, not least from Baltimore’s notorious dirt bike club, the 12 O’Clock Boys. Although they may lack the CCs of their American counterparts, they’ve done a good job of making up for it with charisma and a dedication to the underdog of the two-wheeled world: the humble moped.
This is the UK’s version of the States’ 12 O’Clock Boys (that’s hella hardcore, if you remember our earlier post here)? Check out the VICE report on this phenomenon.

Japan’s Ninja School Girls (Video)
September 29, 2014
Awww so cute. “Ninja Schoolgirl” viral videos of students in Japan running/racing about town doing parkour stunts off buildings, walls, and walkways… and some ring sparring (kicking serious butt)… basically training to be able to chase down suckaz and kick their azzes wearing cute smiles and bedazzled fingernails.
Try explaining the result of that fight with your homies if you ever tick them off. Or… OR… you could just click play above and watch them tell VICE all about it.

Jasmine Is Happy With Her Breasts… All Three Of Them (Video)
September 23, 2014
WHAT? This woman spent £12,000 … nearly $20,000 … on breast enhancement. Sure. Not unusual in the modern era. Oh, she spent it to add a third breast? Like in the “Total Recall” movie? Do tell!
Jasmine, from Tampa Bay, Florida, says the fake boob feels the same as her other two – although the nipple had to be tattooed on. She says her intention is to become a celebrity with her own TV show.
Jasmine said: “My whole dream is to get this show on MTV. I’m dumping every penny I have into this. If this doesn’t work, I’m through.”
