  1. I live in New Orleans and see these guys every single year. It's not just Decadence though it's Mardi Gras, too. Anything that they can perceive as being "indulgence" or "too much fun" is protested by these types of people.

  2.  @patrickbaird8962  This wasn't filmed by VICE. This was footage taken by the local sheriff's office/the police when they raided his house.

  4.  @satan899  It's been a minute since I have seen this video so I forget who Ruben is, but I know for a fact that they basically come protest Decadence, Mardi Gras, and even right now I fully expect them to show up because they've been celebrating Pride Month every Saturday here. I will also say that the guy in the video who dresses up as The Pope, I know him personally. He protests their protest every single year and he even has spare megaphones for people who want to join in with them, counteracting their bullshit with "Blah, blah, blah". He lives in the French Quarter where a lot of these protests take place. Dude's a character, he owns chickens illegally lol.

  5. Well, it says "hermit" which he effectively may be but surely someone out there in the world knows who he is. He might even have access to some basic communications tools, or at least have SOME way to submit his story for consideration to VICE. Meanwhile, Hamilton has also found people by just using Instagram in clever ways then asking them if he can do a story on them (NOTE: I am not suggesting he found the hermit on Instagram, just more commenting that dude has his ways of finding topics from around the world in some of the most remote places on the planet, seemingly). He's done hundreds of investigative reports on drugs and he's a pretty unlikely narc at this point so "cred" is working in his favor. But yeah if I had to take a guess it was something to do with word of mouth somehow, either that or somehow this hermit found out about VICE and all the work he was doing on discussing the pros and cons of drugs and reached out to them himself. OR he's maybe less of a hermit than he's really letting on, that sort of thing.

  6. LOL someone else knows what a key bump is xD

  7. I know this guy in real life, he lives on Rampart St. in the French Quarter. He also (illegally) owns a bunch of chickens, I swear to God. Anyway he goes out and does this every single year, he doesn't always wear the pope outfit but he usually does. And he has more than one megaphone in case other people wish to go yell at the homophobes with him lol.

  8. Whoever threw that dog out of a car and/or shot the dog afterwards got a special place in Hell waiting just for them. Hurting an innocent animal like that. What's wrong with people I swear to God

  9. He's wearing the "I'm high as Pho" shirt from Me, Earl and the Dying Girl (sold at Hot Topic apparently from a quick Google search)

  10. As soon as I heard that I was like "Is it though? I guess anything looks rich compared to Zimbabwe at the peak of their inflation but seriously..."

  12. I think I have a hunch who might have taken them, if we're already investigating this as a theft/burglary. Grand Theft Mangos

  13. That doggy bag he made for himself at the end though LOL!

  15.  @roberthussey595  I don't know man I only see them around big events like Mardi Gras and Decadence. I am sure they're out and about somewhere but I have never personally seen them pop up randomly on any day of the year.

  16. I couldn't do it, that looked awful

  17. The gay guy who dresses like the Pope I know him personally, his name is Leo. I could post his last name too but I don't know that he'd be cool with that. He's hilarious though, he does go to those events with his megaphones every single year at every single place, he does dress as the Pope (sometimes) while doing it and he even has spare megaphones available for other people in case they want to go yelling at them, too. "Blah blah, blah blah, blah blah".

  19. I would be curious to know exactly how much money is involved here, let's say it's $5 an eighth though at "tens of pounds of mushrooms per week" Let's just call it 100 pounds as he doesn't tell us exactly how many and it will give us a figure we can either raise or lower once we figure out the standard rate. That's $64,000 a week they're growing there IF they were selling their product individually (read: they're not, they're probably selling in bulk and for all we know it's the same person or handful of people every time). Still, not shabby and they are right that it doesn't carry nearly as much danger as selling harder drugs like Heroin or Meth or even Cocaine. Less risk of having rival gangs come after you, etc.

  20. Kenner! shout outs to you, anyway yeah I think anyone who has ever been to the parades or like anything fun really down here has seen him. And the protesters as well, without fail if something fun is going on they're going to be out there telling you how much Jesus hates it or whatever lol

  21. I actually have no idea where they are from lol I think they may come from all over the state, as in his "ministry" is probably not one that meets every week. This is like a side ministry, what's basically a harassment club in actual practice. But yeah that's what's so unbelievable is they're out here not just for Decadence which is the predominately gay festival this documentary was centered on, but also Mardi Gras which is more predominately straight. They're just really, really despicable people and they've nothing better to do or else they wouldn't be dedicating so much of their time to pissing other people off.

  22. For sure brother! take care :D

  23. The Funny Bone closed November of 2014... that may be part of the reason he feels more emboldened to tell the tale and name-drop the club at the same time. Then again $500 isn't really a lot of money to get someone to keep their mouth shut about something lol

  24. He probably goes to more gay events than your average gay person goes to them like in a more legitimate sense. You know, to have fun, not shout at a bunch of people who feel differently than he does about life.

  25. They say that gay people have a chip on their shoulder, for getting mad at them when they come to their little area with the full intent to "convert" them (read: offend them). Who really has the chip on their shoulder?

  26. I am sure people who do this for real are either selling the bills for REAL currency (something like $10 fake dollars for $1 real dollar, something like that) so then you can go in and buy the car with REAL money that you got by selling fake money OR find a way to launder the fake bills into real money (like successfully deposit it into a bank or something even though that sounds incredibly foolish). There's a couple of different ways to swing it but invariably you're gonna get caught and this is the kind of thing that isn't even handled by the FBI, it's handled by the Secret Service IIRC. And if they wanna catch you, they will.
