Vive Cool City

While CNN covers the important events and YouTube the completely unconsequential fodder, there does exist an in-between dimension that gets buried somewhere in the backyard of alternative media. Tired of not liking what they were seeing and totally bored by the things they did, two enlivened Melbournians decided to get out there and ask the questions inquiring minds want to know, like What is like to be a Mexican hostage? How (and why would you ever want to) do the nasty on a yoga ball? Can you really buy weed off the street in Australia’s hippie town, Nimbin? They post their Vice-style mini-investigations on Vive Cool City three times a week "” that’s dedication to reporting, yo "”and as you can probably guess, a lot of the material runs to pervy subjects (they embark on a quest in Tokyo to find out if the schoolgirl-underwear vending machines are legend. Admittedly, it was one of the first clips I watched). CNN and YouTube has their audiences, but Vive Cool City will have the rest of us.
