A talking Q-Tip.
Posted: February 22, 2012 Filed under: Main 88 Comments »Someone posted this in the last comments section and I just had to re-post it. Damn, this look – this particular look drives me insane. This guy is a dirty fucking Q-tip. He could probably remove all the pieces from the game Operation using his entire arm instead of the tweezers. And that patchy lice playground on his emaciated fucking face. He probably lives in New Brooklyn and if not, tons of hipster pieces of shit that look and act just like him do. Who are these people??? Why must they have that look that so many people hate? I can tolerate any one’s style or look up until they reach about 21 or 22 tops. After that, how can you still have that “LOOK AT ME” mentality? Especially a man in his late 20′s, 30′s and even 40′s??? Those questions and especially the answers are all basically the same with the words just nasally re-arranged. There is absolutely nothing this annoying skeletal gentrifier can say that would interest me.
Hipsters: easiest way for an Asian girl to fuck a white guy.
I think its the other way around.
you could mean one of several things here:
1) Asian guys fucking White girls
* nearly impossible if theyre not a millionaire – no hipsters in this equation
2) easiest way for White Guy to Fuck Asian girl
* that’s incredibly easy to do without being a hipster douche.
your post is FAIL, sorry Asian girl!
i can think of at least three asian guy/white girl couples i know off the top of my head, none of them are rich.
So, Randy…when did you first realize you were a useless douchebag and a waste of oxygen?
and he looks like a dirty TAMPON, not a Q-tip. Christ, just looking at the pics makes my skin crawl NO FUCKING WAY would I ever click on those Youtube links. Fuck that shit.
I wish I hadn’t. I could stomach the first Q&A but when answer number two came up my inner hipster beater came out and I went on a rampage at trader joes!
OMG look at his shirt!! He put a bird on it!!!!!!
“Put a bird on it!” Portlandia!
But wait, there’s more! Meet the rest of the staff of the “International House of Cupcakes”:

“I have short term memory loss.”
That’s great!
Personally, what pisses me off about guys like this (we have them in spades, here in Marquette, where they incubate before they move to your city) is that I have been developing web applications and browser-based reporting & business intelligence tools, and e-commerce apps since before this fuckwad was out of grammar school. Not all of them move to NYC, some of them stay here and pass themselves off as ‘designers’ and ‘developers’ and ‘coders’ because the locals are too stupid and/or uninformed to know the difference. Goto his site and look at his design portfolio – PURE FUCKING KRAP WITH A CAPITAL KRAP. But because these mellow-organo-neo-hippies look like this, they somehow get the work. Go fucking figure. The aging, old-shool 60′s hippie women fucking love guys like this.
He’s a designer of shit. A 14 year old basement dweller hacker could do his ‘job’. He couldn’t code the skin off of a rotten banana.
Here is the deal, they don’t get REAL work! They get work from their fellow snarky pretentious buddies. They will say “so and so is sooooo kewl and a genius.” I live with 2 of these fucks until july. They dont know one native New Yorker. They attend each other’s “art” crap and expect to be patted on the back for being so cultured and then they hire each other to do work on each others “art” crap. I still have yet to see anyone of these idiots do a real “art, computer, etc” job with in the REAL world. They want to call the work they do art. They are just at a big transplant mixer, like in middle or high school.
You should see how uncomfortable they are around my partner or they guys from the hospital or other buses.
I’m a fucking grown-up. I have been a software developer and business analyst since the beginning of the PC era circa 1985. And here come these Facebook/Zynga/Groupon/Etsy punk-ass-bitch fucking boy-children and are able to con the VC and Wall Street equity markets into throwing money at them. Here’s how it worked for Zynga: They raised $1B when they went public and then wrote down $500M as a “stock benefit expense”. In other words, they skimmed 50% of the initial IPO to make themselves rich for a gaming app within Facebook that sells virtual (i.e. non-fucking-existant) stuff to people that pay with REAL MONEY. THERE IS NO FUCKING JUSTICE!
That IPO money was also blown on making the company into a big daycare center. When I visited San Francisco I happened to be staying in the neighborhood containing their headquarters. They have these black minibuses that chaffeur their employees around and hold yoga and ballroom dancing sessions in this huge studio room, with a huge window facing the street for look at meeeeee value of course.
meanwhile The State of California is BROKE.
Yes, and word around town was that a large old building on Market Street is getting handed over to Twitter for their new headquarters along with no taxes for years.
How progressive!
In other words, nothing has changed since the dotcom boom. I remember interviewing for one company back in the day that couldn’t answer questions about 401(k) accounts or longterm viability of its business plan, but where the HR reps kept pointing out that the main lobby had slides in it so you could slide down to the ground floor instead of taking the stairs. (Sure: just what I wanted to do. Ruin the pants on my interview suit because the CEO was a 25-year-old bottom-of-the-class MBA who wanted to play all day with other people’s money.) And don’t get me going on places like Scient.com, where new hires were judged based on their coolness ratio (out here, defined by whether or not the applicant went to the manager’s sorority) instead of actual ability.
Is your investment in Greek sovereign debt not paying off? Here is a quirky, zany dotcom start up that may go public real soon. You’re welcome.

I’d be better off running my money through a tree mulcher. Or getting an English Lit degree. Same thing, really.
I just Googled “Leroy Jenkem”
My new name is ButtHash
Good to hear. I regularly use that to describe hipster food cart offerings.
“The aging, old-shool 60′s hippie women fucking love guys like this.”
DUDE, bingo!
these assholes infest every field with their utter douchebaggery, posturing, and retarded shit. But you snagged it my friend, the problem is the people who are now in charge: The aging, old-shool 60′s hippie women ala Hillary Clinton. Feminism has created these jerkoffs. They’re something like an aging, old-shool 60′s hippie woman’s sexual fantasy. See my other comments re: Shemales and Hipsters.
AAAARGH! My EYES! What the is that thing?!
If an orangutan and a praying mantis mated, and the resultant hybrid orangu-mantis offspring was a Japanese POW in the Bataan Death March — it would look like Charles Atlas, compared to the freakish tentacle/arms of that filthy ghoul.
The v-neck tee shirt really enhances that cadaver physique, too.
If it wasn’t a federal crime, I would DDOS and DNS poison them out of fucking existence.
Homeland security disclaimer: I Do not condone hacking pale-skinned, cave-dwelling salamanders. Nor would I sneeze on their delicate tentacle arms, thus causing them to snap like balsa wood.
so sue me for typos. IE9 doesn’t have built-in spell-check like FF and Chrome. I’m not illiterate, just been hanging with Cap’n Morgan. Out! Baaaaah!!!!
One word: telnet
“that company’s recent $300 million valuation, which is 10 times the sales Etsy says it did last year.”
“Etsy and its enterprising CEO Rob Kalin who, the Journal reminds us, makes his own underwear”
Really, makes his own underwear? From what, recycled pubic hair? This piece is from last summer, but if I were you, I would find a way to short this dog: http://www.betabeat.com/2011/07/15/etsy-kickstarter-and-the-problem-with-diy-it-doesnt-scale/
I’m just old enough to remember the previous crafts boom, back in the Seventies, where you had the same phenomenon. For every legitimate and talented crafter, you had thirty or forty who’d glue crap onto crap, announce it “art”, and try their damnedest to sell it. Then, when nobody was willing to buy their spraypainted meat grinders and the like, it was nothing but sour grapes about how “the lumpenproletariat had no appreciation of art or artists.” By the beginning of the Eighties, they’d so badly poisoned the idea of crafting that the backlash was intense: I remember as a kid that coming to school with a handmade coat at Christmas, no matter how much better it may have been than store-bought designer trash, got a response of “I’m so sorry. I guess your parents don’t love you enough to buy you a real present.”
That’s what really pisses me off about the whole Etsy routine, especially with the little regional branches in every city these days. For every actual artist, someone with talent and discipline, you have thirty Texas cave salamanders who figure that setting up an Etsy store full of “vintage” Seventies board games is enough. If they aren’t stealing copyrighted material on the idea that “information wants to be free” (and then crying like little girls when Toho tells them to stop selling those blatantly bootleg Godzilla T-shirts, for instance), they’re shivving each other for the opportunity to get written up in the local weekly newspaper. This isn’t a matter of using art to encapsulate some driving force in their souls and share it, or even as therapy for a lousy life or lousy job. It’s all about getting attention, and to hell with how badly they crap in the well for everyone else.
He doesn’t seem like a real douche bag like most hipsters….but I just don’t know why anyone would want to listen to his little bio….who gives a fuck? Let’s hear a retrospective when you’re 70, Randy, not now.
”He co-founded Supermarket, a curated design marketplace”
”He recieved his MFA in design from the School of Visual Arts”
”He is currently the Interaction Design director at Esty”
I seriously want to beat that stupid fucking hipster bastard. Wipe that self-satisfied pretentiousness smirk off his wasted face. THOSE ARE NOT ACHIEVEMENTS.
“Design” is the new “Communications”
That guy looks like he is terminally ill with stage IV cancer or something.
He looks like a WW2 concetration camp survivor. Awgh! And you’d think he’d put on a shirt for the video shoot?
Check out the Etsy “call to arms” video. Frankly I’ve had my fill of these tryhards trying to invoke the past with their day camp projects. What an arrogant self-abosrbed d**chebags. They remind me of the people you see at rural bus stations at 3AM in the morning. And the offices? Could we possibly get any more whimsical or zany? The place reminds me of Carrot Top’s Laboratory or worse – the inside of Zooey Deschanel’s brain. I look at the “sets” and the only thing that comes to mind is PeeWee’s Playhouse on blotter acid.
The guy that really deserved to get donkey punched and thrown into the canal is the red headed guy. Of course he’s anti-Walmart. And to show his street cred he wants Etsy to reflect a time before the industrial revolution screwed up this country.
Really, now? I guess the central heating and A/C in your building, your subway system, the sewing machines, fax machines, copiers, printers, computers, cameras, i-Phones, i-Pads, i-Pods, the bikes that get you to work, the construction materials in your building, lights, lamps, tables, raw materials that go into making the useless flotsam made at Etsy, video cameras and the fact that you have your own channel on you tube…all this stuff just magically appeared in a dusty corner of your grandmother’s attic back in Hogs Point, MN, Right?
Oh and for cripe’s sake stop STOP STOP using the word “craft” to describe your useless, ugly and poorly constructed closet ballast. It took a five year apprenticeship to become a cooper. To this day, plumbers and electricians need years of educationto work for years under a master before they can be licensed. Go look at the hand built watches at RGM or the hand hammered body panels of a Deco era Bugatti. Your’re not craftspeople. You are a bunch of disturbing, adult freaks pretending to be 5 year olds in art class. The only difference is, 5 year olds eat less library paste.

Reminds me of Razorfish back in the 90s. Razorfish was the ultimate dot-bomb bubble whose stock price rose from $1 to $179 in a few days and made its sexually confused Beavis and Butthead founders millionaires for a few months before it all collapsed. They were the ones with the candy colored offices and pink flamingos where the KY Jelly flowed almost as fast as the cocaine.
Same shit, same delusions of grandeur. Died almost as fast as they appeared. Oh, and Dachis is the founder of “The Slipper Room” which brought burlesque to the LES.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razorfish_%28company%29
http://www.rsub.com/
Yes, razorfish. I remember it well. How about WebVan and Flooz? It’s the same thing all over again. There is nothing special or unique abour Etsy. And what’s with these baby-talk names? Etsy, Orgoo, Faroo, Wufoo, Kadoo, Kwedit, Gwabbit – no shit, these are the names of real websites.
Etsy slogan contest!
here’s my submission: “Nothing Says ‘I’m An Annoying Faggot’ Like Etsy.”
“Etsy: Who Needs Talent?”
“Etsy: there is a purpose to getting an Art Degree.”
As I shared over at the previous post, pipestem limbs. Pale, clammy skin. Extensive filaments coming off the neck. No chin. An inability to mate unless the female of the species initiates courtship. Yeah, I think we have a positive ID:
http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Eurycea_rathbuni.html
No doubt he cries after mating. Curls up into teh fetal position while hugging his pillow and bawling his eyes out about how once, his daddy refused to buy him a sno cone at the ’93 county fair.
The female takes one look at this, steals the charge card out of his pocket and heads to the all night pharamcy for a a Plan B emergency contraception pill then heads to to Bensonhurst
to hook up with Joey the Pizza shop owner/mixed marital arts instructor.
So Stevie Jobs was a hipster back in the 70s. Who’da thunk it?
http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2012/02/22/the-book-of-steve-jobs-apple/
Steve Jobs smelled so foul that none of his co-workers at Atari in the seventies would work with him. Entreating him to shower was usually futile; he’d inevitably claim that his strict vegan diet had rid him of body odor, thus absolving him of the need for standard hygiene habits. Later, friends would theorize that he had been exercising what would prove a limitless capacity for sustained and gratuitous lying that came to be nicknamed the “reality distortion field.”
And one day, Jobs, unwashed, nasty and barefoot, went to see a McKinsey consultant, threw his nasty feet up on the guys desk and almost got thrown out of the office. There’s nothing special about iJesus either. He was an arrogant ass and by any account, a shitty manager. I’m sick of the cult of iJesus.
You could probably see the stench emanating from his body in the form of wavy cartoon stink lines.
If it helps, Bill Gates wasn’t any better. When Windows 3.0 was released, Gates had to be reminded, by his mother, to take a shower and to use soap before the official Microsoft announcement. In his case, he was just classic Cat Piss Man: he figured that locking himself in an office and coding for three straight weeks was automatic permission to build a stench that was olfactory onomatopoiea.
Bill gates is no where near as a hipster or even hippie compared to steve jobs. Many hipsters and even the occupy movement view bill gates as a corporate doucebag and especially since hes one of the worlds wealthest and richestman however these hipsters and yuppie aswell occupy movement blog and post twitter via iphone, ipad macbook. Sadly enough these people view steve jobs in an holy light while apple does not help advance the world compared to windows during the end of the 20th century. Apple has the highest stock price on wall street valued at 400 bucks a share or more, but these hipsters still praise steve jobs. Silly rabbit macs are for hipsters.
Not only that, Apple is sitting on $90B in cash and won’t pay a fucking dividend. Bill Gates has promised to give all his wealth away, a-la Andrew Carnegie ( “A man who dies rich dies disgraced” ), but when Bill Gates approached a dying Steve Jobs and asked him to do the same, Jobs said no. Hey Steve, how’s that money helping you out now?
so sick of the cult-o-jobs. Arrogant, money grubbing bastard- hipster hero
I hate them to. Lets see how many of these idiots are going to buy an ipad3 when released even though they already have an ipad2?
You were right, diehipster, this guy is from Brooklyn. Greenpoint. By the way, check this out: http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2012/02/artisanal-mayonaise-coming-soon-to-prospect-heights/
Covered that one already. Look back.
But look at the bright side. They still aren’t open yet, because they’re “waiting on permits”. I’ll bet. In other words, they can’t afford said permits, having blown all of their money on the pre-opening party back in October.
Even if this turd were my friend’s geek-ass 11 year old son I’d want to pummel him. Here’s the thing- he’s got absolutely fucking NOTHING TO SAY nor do any of these other pubescent fucks. That is probably the most annoying thing about these self aggrandizing losers and their teenage posse pals… the idiots that pop their zits and post it on youtube deserve more airtime than this lame bullshit. It’s like he’s being interviewed on his 8th grade science project for the school newspaper. My hats off to all the true designers and software developers out there- call bullshit on these clowns and push them the fuck out.
I’m just so nauseated by the volume of people posting their adolescence all over the media-sphere just because they can- they have no real work or talent to speak of and the noise they make for the rest of us obviously inspires violence.
and for fuck’s sake- Is there a local graffiti writer who can do over “Empire Mayonnaise” for the grand opening ? What a fucking joke
Yesterday I went to have dinner with some friends to one of my (former) favourite places in Madragoa, an old neighbourhood in inner city Lisbon, Portugal. It used to be a traditional “tasca”, a place where working class people can enjoy king-size meals of some great homecooking, plus endless bottles of red win straigh from the barrell, some desert baked by the owner’s old mrs and a fine bagaço, traditional Portuguese cognac, for about 15 euros (11 dollars or so). If you got lucky, you could witness (or be a part of) some harmless drunken brawl or some traditional “fado” singing session. That was cool. We have a crisis going on here, we really need something cheap to get our heads off it. BUT as it turned out, some hipsters had bought the place and turned it into a “GOURMET TASCA”, with stuff like a thin slice of “sautéed cod fish with locally organic grown asparagus etc” (direct quote), charging above 30 euros per meal. FUCK! I want my city back! Who the hell do these idiots think they are??
I remember having a great fish dinner, washed down with some port, at a small place in Alfama. Then I walked out into the balmy evening air and passed by a restaurant where a waitress had the place enthralled in her fado. I really hope this doesn’t get crowded out by hipsters. Lisbon is very special.

I want to dip this guy in dry ice and give him one good whack with a Louisville Slugger for posting a picture of a bottle of Buffalo Trace in Etsy’s offices. As a native Louisvillian, I implore you half-witted lice carriers to leave bourbon the fuck alone on behalf of all hardworking and respectable Kentuckians.
Although my favorite post by far is the one where he posts a picture of HIMSELF dressed as a “sleepy sailor in grandpa’s sweater” or some absolute garbage like it, and then tries to pass it off as having been stopped by someone random on the street because they “liked his style”. He pretends to laugh it off but every one of us can clearly see that this self-possessed moron spent two hours assembling his carefully disheveled look and then had someone take a “candid” photograph of his ensemble so he could share his own beauty with the world in a thinly-veiled guise of being stopped on the street. Get a real job you moron.
And “grandpa’s sweater” my ass; no way this gentrifier paid anything less than $100 for that “vintage” piece of shit.
is it legal to do physical harm to this fuckwit?

OK, this is too much. Does this guy really take himself seriously? How can he look in the mirror and not laugh? What a strange, strange world these people inhabit. This teh gayest. What a fop. If this guy is straight, there’s no way he would ever get laid. Someone should tell him that when you put pictures of yourself dressed like a gay-ass little dandy-boy on the internet that everyone can see them. Hey dude, we can see you.
OMG – I took a quick look, and right on top was “OS X Mountain Lion Sneak Peek’ – looks like Windows for a Mac. I’m truly afraid for civilization as a whole.
Oops, there’s obviously a typo on his site. It should correctly be titled “Randy J Cunt”
Here, Larry David explains it perfectly:
Hah! I love Larry David more than I could ever possibly explain in this post.
What’s this video called- “Rattle and Hummus”?
just in case you might be tempted to think that little Randy here is a mommas boy faggot:

Some gold in the blog…Check out the video of the tour of the ‘office’.
Holy krap! His site is monument to faggotry. Here’s one nugget: “I not happy with my website that lives at randyjhunt.com. It’s drab, uninspired, and lacking the attention to detail that I typically take pride in.”
Really?! I thought you are a design ninja. What went wrong? Was your pussy hurting on the day you ‘designed’ it?
Talk about daycare. Read up: http://blog.randyjhunt.com/ You can even watch a video about how to make coffee at Etsy.
Randy at the office: http://goo.gl/JeAbd
I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing that.
dude, flag this stuff, I’m at work!
hey asshole, i’m at work. Mind giving us a warning?
Can you believe that people get paid to ‘work’ at this place?

It’s Tofutti time!!! Yaaaaaaay!
You wonder why do they all look alike? Does liking certain bands automatically make you want to wear the same tired clothes. Why do you have to grow a beard?
Its true. These people are not true individuals. They all have the same opinions. Its like they are programed by somebody to all reach the same place at exactly the same time.
What zombies.
The master breaks it on down:
So I tried to do a Fishing for Hipsters, but since I registered on CL a long time ago, the stupid thing was asking for my phone number to post the ad.
Sigh and it was a funny one too. Maybe I’ll have to do it from work.
have you ever noticed that hipsters and shemales are virtually indistinguishable?
YES!
I was on the L from Bedford last night and I saw this….creature. I seriously could not tell if it was a really ugly girl or just a guy in drag.
That must be why they have beards. So they don’t look like Shemales.
will be submitting this to the upcoming Hipster Studies Conference in Anaheim.
I see many FTMs who look like this Randy character.
This dude’s skinny, but the reason he looks retarded is that skinniness, Rasputin beards, and nerd glasses don’t go together at all. If he shaved, put on a normal t-shirt, and lost the glasses, he’d look fine, almost like a normal person – the hipster’s worst nightmare!
I never want to hear the word “sustainable” again.
that fuckin weird smile & crazy eyeballs really get me going–they ALL look the SAME!!!!!!
Made it through 16 seconds of the 1st video. And then, this came on the screen;
“Currently, Randy is the Interactive Design Director at Etsy.”
the what? I just can’t watch the rest of this – I really want to snap him in half over my knee, Bo Jackson style, and then run down to the L train platform using the 2 sticks to knock Molly, Zoey,Caleb, and Harrison into an oncoming train.
Man, I really want to hurt this fucking city destroyer.
that first video was disturbing….I just saw that guy everywhere…barnes and nobles, coffee bean and tea leaf, target even Walmart…oh wait a minute, they are all zombie’s cloned…
that makes him so much superior to the rest of us (bullshit) HAHA
i’ve worked with very famous celebrities who were so humble and kind and never possessed this magnitude of arrogance and self importance such as that of the dipshit hipsters…go figure.
Can I ask the obvious question – why the fuck does the interactive design director at some internet shop get his own Q&A? Who is really interested in watching that, except to make fun? Honestly, Oprah gives shorter interviews.
Emily, it’s because he’s the main designer at Etsy, the “International House of Cupcakes”. Someone was figuring that if he rimmed this genius hard enough, he might say “You know, we really need someone like you at Etsy.”
