The Seventies Get What They Deserve

If you didn't spend your teenage years living in L.A., tuned into 70's FM radio, you might not get the stupendously awesome catharsis that is Yacht Rock. If you did, here's your chance to be an eyewitness to the approximately-true history of how Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald fought their way to the top of L.A's smooth rock scene. (Warning: Extremely crude humor)

A Tour of North Korea

I'm not sure who these Vice Guide guys are. Their style is too reckless for anyone to confuse them with mainstream journalists. I can say that they had some major balls to bribe their way into North Korea on a Chinese tourist package, risking repeated threats of criminal prosecution to re-emerge with lots of video. I don't think they ever fully explained how they got away with it: Bribes? Secret compartments? Tour guides full of empty threats?

The entire series is long, but here are a couple of episodes that convey how surreal their tour of North Korea was:
