The trust funds are drying up PART 2

The other day I posted a story from Portland, OR where what witnesses could only describe as a “hipster” (even though there are claims that there is no such thing as a hipster) robbed a bank; probably out of desperation because his parental subsidization has ceased.

Well now, in Canada, an even more pathetic attempt to steal money from the public. This vapid beardo, Kristopher with a K, wearing his “look at me” Cap’n Crunch hat and pubic beard lied and said he had cancer to get donations totaling around $10,000. On the bright side, he was most likely defrauding other hipster fauxhemians like himself which doesn’t bother me as much as his overall motive. I think we’ll be hearing more and more stories like this in the near future; more and more hipsters are not going to be able to maintain their expensive lifestyles as parental support dissipates, as trust funds dry up, and as credit lines get maxed out. When your rent is $2000; your monthly coffee expenses are $500; your organic diet is $1000 a month; your drug, booze, wardrobe and art expenses are another couple of thousand and you work as a barista, part-time curator, assistant roof top veggie farmer, graphics design intern or bike lane advocate – you wont be able to survive and will probably do something pathetic like Kristopher. I can’t take these mother fuckers any more.

    I donated money to this bearded toilet plunger, not because I felt sorry for him but as a sort of congratulatory gesture – like giving 100 bucks to a boy on his Bar Mitzvah.

    “..The grand total given to Cook is estimated to be just under $10,000, and there’s no doubt he appreciated the cash — his gratitude evident in the new Macbook Pro he was seen with the very next day..”

        I loved all the stereotypes! The article described him as skinny and white. And don’t forget two of the donated items were a bicycle and a guitar. Probably a fixie! It’s almost like a quiz–who can count the most hipster hallmarks?

        So lemme see if I understand this chewtoy – he believes that kids will learn what they want to learn? And be on par with students who have had a traditional education?

        OK so when your kid starts high school the first book he’s gonna be able to read is
        “Caps For Sale”?

        Children need a foundation. Rote learning and discipline is the key. This cankle-lope’s
        kids are gonna attend their first day of school and receive a rude awakening when they find out square roots have nothing to do with a vegetable garden.

        And it’s only a matter of time when their idea of doing math is to ask the Korean kid sitting next to you.

        I can tell you from experience, if I left it up to my nine year old to decide what he wants to learn, he;d have carpal tunnel syndrome thanks to his wii remote.

      Kristopher with a K will be most likely getting some night stick cruelty from local police if he stuck around Calgary or bailed to Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal. The Mounties get involved if he decides to go into hiding in small town outside of Ontario or Quebec which have provincial police forces. I would to see this schmuck get hard time sharing a cell with a full patch member of the Hells Angels nicknamed Tiny.

      Sad to say we have a hipster problem too here in Canada especially in Vancouver and Toronto (Queen St. West, Parkdale and the Junction neighbourhoods). They love Montreal for the cheap rent and university tuition for the never ending graduate and post graduate degrees.

    And yet, somehow these worthless cockrags are able to afford to live in the most expensive neighborhoods in the world. How the fuck does that happen? I guess we all know the answer to that one.

    • Leroy Jenkem says:

      Yeah, I read that one, too, and thought of DH’s war. The really sad part is that you can warn proto-hipsters about their bad career choices until you’re blue in the face, and they’ll ignore you because they’re SURE that they’re the ones who are going to beat the odds. I get that with wannabe journalism majors all of the time, especially when I point out the horrendous unemployment rates for graduates in a field where every spunkrag with skinny jeans thinks he can work for a weekly newspaper.

      By the way, I loved the fact that more people are acknowledging the worthlessness of English Lit degrees. Back in 2000, I had a gaggle of butthurt English professors mad at me because I wrote “English degrees aren’t real degrees: they’re licenses to starve to death with the blessings of society.” Not only was I right, but the collapse hit faster than I thought. These days, the most common phrase uttered by English Lit grads isn’t “Do you have a Borders card?”, but “Business, mister?”

      • forreal says:

        hahahahahah!!!!

        Awesome. Can’t believe you had the balls to do that. Really good move on your part. Seriously, hipsters can go fuck themselves.

      • Pat I says:

        The writer James Lileks once did a lecture at some flyover iberal arts college. During the Q&A some hipster asked, “what advice would you give to a Journalism Major?

        Lileks replied, “Write a lot. And stop wasting your money on a journalism degree”.

        We could adopt your saying to this:
        “Journalismdegrees aren’t real degrees: they’re licenses to bankrupt your parents with the blessings of society”

        • Leroy Jenkem says:

          An old high school friend asked me that, as her daughter was desperately wanting to go to journalism school, and I gave her pretty much Lileks’s answer. When she asked what starting income was for most journalism majors, I told her about the number of four-year interns who were no closer to getting paid than they were when they started, and how daring to bring up past promises about full-time employment was a great way to get an intern fired and replaced with another. Her daughter decided she was going to do this anyway. That was eight years ago: guess whose daughter is back at home, bitterly crying about how there’s no need for weekly newspapers to pay for milk when they can fuck the cows for free?

        English Lit degrees are prerequisites to work at Chili’s

      You can pull one of those off if you are willing to put in a bunch of extra work and do a double maj-…. Right. This is hipsters we’re talking about.

      • Daniel says:

        I did a double in Fine Arts and Communications and have managed to do pretty well. But this was many years before the hipster movement, so I have experience, common sense, and good taste on my side.

    • I can never understand why anyone would spend 5 years in college and not come out with a marketable skill at the end. The whole point of college is to empower you to enter the workforce at a higher salary with proper jobs security and benefits. Plus, it ain’t cheap supporting yourself all that time.
      Me, I got my comp-sci degree and now make a large 5 figure salary programming Java. I did it working my ass off and not chasing girls or doing drugs (well, not after the first year). I turn down more job offers in a month than most hipsters will see in a lifetime. In fact, I recently closed my linkedin account just to get the recruiters off my back.
      Yet, I know plenty of kids who went to school, were drunk or high most of the time, got laid more often than Ron Jeremy, came out with one of the degrees listed above and who are either supported by their parents or one paycheck away from homelessness. These are the ones occupying Wall street and blaming everyone for their misery except their own life choices.

      • JC says:

        Pretty much spot on yet the cycle still continues, as if the morons didn’t heed the warnings.

        Now they expect us to foot the bill for their goddamn student loans, which by the way aren’t really forced on you, on degrees that aren’t very marketable. If they don’t get what they want they go on to damaging public/ private property and disrupting businesses.

      • MD Burbs says:

        Pretty much any more the whole point of college is to turn a profit. Sad but true.

    • Stasha says:

      That is ridiculous that anthropology is number 1.. the study of humans is very important! The subfield of archaeology has decent job opportunities.. though archaeologists work hard for their money outside and lugging around gear; I don’t see pasty noodle-limbed hipsters putting up with that! Another subfield, linguistic anthropology deals with things from the phonetics and grammar of languages to studying body language and cultural differences. These skills are valuable for people going into international business, NGO work, public policy school, etc. I was a linguistic anthro major and thought about computational linguistics (programming speech recognition software and other things where language intersects with technology) … then I decided I could go for what I really wanted to do and switched to pre-vet and a physical anthropology major (now I study about primate biology!) Point is there is a lot of science involved in some anthropology fields, and very marketable job skills with an anthropology degree but it almost always has to be combined with something else or used as a stepping stone to grad school (It’s a good major for pre-med, pre-law) You really have to work at making an anthropology degree valuable: I know of quite a few that aren’t really going put that expensive degree to use, hipsters included :P
      My degree is also handy to observe the Austin subspecies of hipster from an anthropological/primatologist point of view!

      • Stasha says:

        Forgot to mention… most if not all of the people I’ve met with the other degrees listed aren’t so well off or they are working in unrelated fields… so that list is mostly accurate!

      • Jack says:

        From what I’ve been told by some anthropology students, they mostly think they’re going to be Indiana Jones and don’t realise there’s any hard science involved (no one was allowed to tell them that, because that would hurt their feelings and not push course numbers up.) Either that or it’s the conspiracy theory types who decide that if they take a long enough break from Warcraft to study Egyptology, they can claim to have academically researched their claims about space alien pyramids.

        Still, I don’t see why they can’t make themselves useful to the class all the same. Brooklyn Jones, the anthropologist hipster beater, can help dissect them with some of his weaponry.

    • Jack says:

      I think the problem is poor-quality careers guidance as much as anything. And the reasons for that poor quality can be all too familiar.

      Two of my closest friends studied anthropology/archaeology. One of them knew what he was doing from the start, is now well on his way to becoming a world-class expert in his field, and single-handedly secured a six-figure grant for his research team at the beginning of the month. The other, who really wanted to be a cop, was pressured by his careers advisor into going to university, and by his own admission picked the first subject in the alphabetical list that jumped out at him and sounded exciting. Long story short, he’s still in the same minimum wage supermarket job he took at 16.

      They expanded the hell out of British higher education in the 90s, without seeming to realise how massively it would devalue degrees and how much more massively it would devalue non-degree level qualifications. A big part of the push seems to have involved shockingly poor careers guidance at schools, with stuffed shirt careers advisors being told to plug whatever courses were new and fashionable-sounding. I remember one of them gushing at me about “weird and wonderful” courses at the new universities – a description that inspired a lot of confidence, I’m sure you’ll agree – and one case of a future Cambridge veterinary science student being advised to do a basic-level vocational course aimed at people with no GCSEs. Even if it wouldn’t look good on her CV, it would on the government’s.

      If anything similar to this has happened in the States, I suspect it’s been built on the same principles that allowed it to happen in the UK. Namely, taking advantage of the fact you’re talking to teenagers who often don’t know yet who they are or what they’re doing, and taking advantage of the helicopter parents / progressive educationists who start crying about child abuse as soon as anyone “contradicts” their angel by giving actual hard-and-fast advice.

      Those types are usually happy with the situation they end up with. Nobody ends up doing any better or any worse than anyone else. Their children get a few years to “find themselves” on a “cool” course and always have the trust fund to turn to if they end up unemployable. Degrees seem to have joined art and alternative music and creative writing on the list of things that once had a purpose, but have lost a good deal of that purpose since they started being promoted as “intellectual cool”, in and of themselves, to people who wouldn’t otherwise have cared about them.

      The best thing you can do nowadays at 18 is hold off doing a degree and get some life experience first. If you’re not degree material, a super-specific course won’t change that. I don’t want a plumber with a “degree” in plumbing, I want one who can fix my boiler. If you are degree material, you will have a much, much, much better idea what you’re doing, and will do a much, much, much better job of it, if you don’t start it straight out of school.

      Telling young people the above isn’t hurtful. It doesn’t squish their dreams, it benefits the dreams that had a chance in the first place. Sorry, but not all courses are equal, not all courses are equally suited for everyone, and being beamingly positive about all of them will just lead to a situation where everyone’s doing the wrong thing. I would make a joke here about what would happen if they took the same attitude to the answers in a maths class, but the scary thing is… some of them probably do.

      • Leroy Jenkem says:

        A friend of mine is a TA on an entry-level forensics class. Until recently, the only people taking the class were archaeology and palaeontology majors, with a few law enforcement majors specializing in taphonomy to understand exactly what happens to an organism after it dies. Then the various “CSI” series start up, and the class is full of dickholes who couldn’t tell you the difference between a fly and a weevil, but who took the course because “it’s on TV, and it’s cool.” She now spends the first month having to update her students on the basics that they should have learned in earlier classes, only to have them drop out when they realize that forensic science can’t be settled with some idiotic smartphone-attached-to-a-pistol-grip tricorder that doesn’t exist.

    • i love sausage says:

      Welllll… that list is fucking useless (like most lists) if it simply compares major with avg-salary-in-field directly-related-to-major. There are many anthropologists and sociologists in the highly paid field of design. There are many graphic artists in the software game. And some of best software programmers I’ve worked with were Philosophy or English Lit majors. Just depends on how you parlay the education to a skillset. Has little to do with the major and everything to do with a level of street smarts and common sense. And a bit of passion. Personally I’m an English Lit major but been in software for a long time. I was a shitty coder, but brought other skills to the table.

      But back to the topic. Faking cancer is a douchy move. But it woulda been kinda clever if he was also faking being a hipster…

      A lot of the Eurotrash hipsters seem to embrace the red or green skinny jeans. I guess they needed a way to actually look even more like an estrogen filled pussy than before.

Of course these letter opener physiqued oxygen thieves wouldn’t know which end of a Krylon can the paint comes out of.

    Stupid facial expression and lice beard: check.

    Rest of Appearance: Bright red skinny jeans. The biggest oversized murse known to man. Hasn’t bathed or done laundry in over 2 months. Smells like a walking biohazard of BO, unwashed greasy hair and beard, halitosis, stale booze and stale cigarette smoke.

    Age: 28

    Occupation: self-proclaimed scenester, laptop DJ, music promoter, check.

    Hobbies: Couchsurfing, on the run from the “friends” (Like DH said. I’m sure these were other hipsters too) who didn’t know him very well, that gave him $10,000.

    Lives now: Couchsurfing his way to Brooklyn for some more easy pickins. First stop: Roberta’s hipster pizza

    Is actually from: Generic cul de sac. Possibly home schooled by an obese tattooed self righteous cankle mom.

    What’s in the man purse? Brand new MacBook with wrapping still on it, other various iProducts purchased this week still in original packaging, brand new quirky and whimsical wardrobe from Urban Outfitters with tags still on, quirky whimsical overpriced vintage hats and costumes bought with the stolen money, cigarettes, pot. A ruler to make sure the width and height of cuffs of the skinny jeans is exactly the same as every other hipster’s. Everything but personal hygiene products.

  26. J-style says:

    Trying to imagine Kristopher’s adventures while on the lam — like what a hipster version of The Fugitive would be like. My guess is that it starts off with a Kickstarter project called Escape From Canada that will get him to some hipster refuge — likely either Billyburg, Austin or Portland. Contributions over $40 receive a collector’s spoon or coffee mug from his final destination. You can be sure he’s vimeoing, blogging and tweeting (@cancerhipster) his every move during the escapade, detailing every artisanal crumb he consumed that day or his latest disguise (e.g. switching from the Soviet fur hat and beard to a Mr. Pringles/lumberjack hybrid look). At night he sleeps at the remnants of various Occupy camps along the route.

    Once he arrives in NYC or wherever the fuck he’s pretty safe, since it’s damn near impossible for him to stand out from the horde of other bearded butt plugs — a wanted poster would be useless. His next move to raise cash is collecting fees for a Red Rover league he tells everyone he is starting, then using the dough to fund his next iPhone upgrade. After that, he convinces Matt Silver to pay him protection money to keep black guys away.

    Anyway, his zany adventure will probably end after he fucks up and get spotted when his Idiotarod team accidentally wonders into another part of Brooklyn and — hey — the Mounties always get their man right? Hauled back to Canada, he spends the two years in jail getting his ass pounded by two Quebecois guys names Luc and Jean-Pierre.

  30. Matt Black says:

    I love hipster douchebags. First off, they make it easier for the rest of us by staying off the freeways and out of the nice restaurants. Secondly, they’re doing the important job of transferring all their tightwad parents’ static wealth out of long term CDs and into consumer goods that people like me produce. Thanks, ma and pa! Third and finally (and this one can’t happen soon enough) they’re helping to divest an entire generation of young women of the idea that noodly fake artboy loser freegan jerkwads are somehow more worthy of a woman’s attention than hard working and successful men with self respect and razors.

    Keep at it, fauxhemians… when the last trust fund is spent up, the last rooftop garden is scraped up and thrown into the dumpster and the last hipster chick throws away her thick glasses and dressing gown, those of us who put in the hard work will still be standing, all your women will right themselves and come running to us, and all the busses back to the middle parts will be full to the brim. Pack your ukelele and heirloom seeds and head back to mama’s basement. It’s canning season and she could use the help.

    • Leroy Jenkem says:

      Not surprised at the slightest. Hot Topic and Anthropologie have been doing this for years. Their trick isn’t to steal work from anybody with a real following or enough money to buy a real lawyer. Instead, both chains hire “artists” who know to steal from gimps who figure that a good Twitter tantrum is better than an actual plagiarism lawsuit.

    another example of the new york times kissing more hipster ass…check out #49…50 things from the history of New York my ass.

    http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/09/02/nyregion/a-history-of-new-york-in-50-objects.html#/?gridItem=all

    • MD Burbs says:

      #49 – the day the city went down the drain.

    • bklynbikeguy says:

      How #49 gets included in a history of NYC is beyond me. We’re talking about NYC here, not some pissant town in flyover country. The NY Times should start thinking about hiring people from, I dunno…NY? Because judging by the incessant BJ’s the Times has been giving these douchebag hipsters for the last few years I can only conclude that their staff is not from NY.

      • Artisanal Nail Clippings says:

        A big, big problem I have been seeing is flyover hipsters and yupsters with degrees from Southwestern Wiscohiotuckisconsin State University getting jobs in preference to experienced locals. It’s like the other side of the coin to how they have unpaid-internized other sectors of the economy so nobody can make real money to pay real bills.

    • JAZ says:

      That is fucking disgusting, and shows why the NY Times has become a joke. Really? The overpriced chocolate from those fucking Iowa redbeards is listed as one of New York’s historical objects? They have nothing to do with New York other than being a symbol of tryhard flyover gentrificators who have priced real New Yorkers out of their formerly affordable neighborhoods and ruined Brooklyn along with the other fucking kidults. Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

      • diehipster says:

        This is killing me. How dare they put those skeletal, costume wearing, doofy Spin Doctors from Iowa on any list? You kidding me??? And look what is one notch above them: 9-11 Dust. You mean to tell me that anything related to 9-11 is just barely more important than the fucking Mast Bros.? I’m practically speechless. I can see those two red beards having an artisanal cacao and rooftop wine celebration over this with their fucking gang of scarecrowish rejects from flyoverlandia. The fucking NY Times has completely gone down the toilet with this. Pathetic!!!!!!!

        • PBR=Urine says:

          The worst part is the description of Brooklyn being a dump until douches like the Mast Bros. “discovered it” like pale, ramen noodle-armed,Midwest Magellans and made $10 chocolate bars. This writer should be sent back to his middle school paper:

          “Brooklyn never hit bottom as deeply as the Bronx, but it began hemorrhaging its population in the 1950s in a mostly white, middle-class exodus. Today, the borough is booming again, inching toward its peak population of nearly 2.7 million in 1940, as young couples gentrify neighborhoods that not long ago were considered marginal at best. Brooklyn has also become a global brand, most identified with artisanal businesses, like Mast Brothers Chocolate of Williamsburg, which opened in 2007.” Lucas Jackson/Reuters

        • Daniel says:

          I can see those two red beards having an artisanal cacao and rooftop wine celebration

          And blowing each other.

        • JAZ says:

          It really puts the Times in a bad light that they would even consider these Iowa red beards and their $10 mediocre chocolate bars in a discussion of iconic New York symbols. They’ve been here for 10 fucking minutes, and they have nothing to do with New York, other than using Brooklyn as a kewl playground to dress up as paper boys from 1920 and make overpriced chocolate bars for their fellow bearded tryhards and the Carrie Bradshaw wannabes. While they are kicking NYC, they might as well start mentioning artisanal cupcakes and Starbucks. While real New Yorkers will look at that story and laugh about the choice, the NYT has an international following and people not knowing any better will think it’s an important stop when in NY, and they’ll get plenty of extra business they don’t deserve.

          It would be more fitting if they had used L&B, but then again it’s probably for the best that they don’t get name checked in the Times after the way DiFara has turned into an urban explorer stop for every out of place flyover pussy after getting some press.

    • PBR=Urine says:

      Just ridiculous. Nothing about Nathan’s, the Cyclone or the Dodgers. Not to mention Central Park, Empire State Bldg, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, a subway token, a spaldeen, etc. But these 2 stinky beardos who’ve been here for 5 minutes is all they could think of from 2001-today?

    • JC says:

      I’d say the old RedBird subways are more iconic of NYC than the fucking Mast brothers.

  34. Hipster Hunter says:

    I lost my brother in law to cancer back in 2005. I wish I had the time to go uo to Canada and personally cave that little scumbag’s skull right in. What would serve him right would be to come down with cancer for real, like debilitating ass cancer. Fucking douche.

  35. dum da dum dum says:

    “What a loser,” said Lindsay Shedden, a former friend of Cook’s, who met him in her role as festival director for Sled Island.”

    where’s my AK-47?

  36. Uncool Person says:

    That piece of human excrement named Kristofer, who probably spells his name as Ꝁristopher (note the cool and individualistic letter K), is wearing a Russian naval cap — as if he has the fucking right and as if he would last 10 minutes in the Russian Navy.

    I can only imagine how a couple of Russian Navy officers would react to seeing a piece of rubbish like that wearing such a cap.

    I wonder if this guy has fled to the UK. I’d offer to keep an eye out for him here in Dalston and ring the police if I saw him, though that would be difficult as he would look like every other hipster in the area.

  37. FUWI says:

    Most people’s suspicions that there is cult like behavior amongst hipsters could be blown off as just general irritability with their own lives in some way, but that would be, imo, it’s own speculation and too dismissive of some gut instincts that are just ‘right’. When you ‘sense’ that something is wrong in some way, it often is.

    There are some common things that many have noticed…how they bristle at criticism and then react against it so violently to the point of suppressing free speech ( pretty funny move for people ‘into freedom, yahhhh’ ), who are almost militaristic in their diet choices and associations, who consult the hive mind ( of a sort ) to validate individual choice, and who are often rabid conspiracy theorists. I’m sure I’m only touching on a few behaviors that have been seen in your real world and here on this website. I’ve said for a long time they are ripe for the picking, but that’s also no solitary suspicion of my own. It may seem or sound kind of amusing when some nitwit comes on screaming about how the world better get ready for the hipster uprising or whatever, equal money and all that zeitgeist shit they’ve filled their heads with comes roaring out and it’s that aspect of this that I do not find funny at all. It’s scary and it’s sad because usually these are otherwise just very emotionally stunted people who, for whatever reason, stopped growing up. Anyway, whatever it is, here’s one of the results….

    I wish somebody would push Icke off a bridge. Not too long ago the almighty Oxford university actually paid that asshole to come talk to their students for TWO HOURS so he could babble on about all his ‘lizards from the 4th dimension’ horseshit. Ugh…higher learning my azz….

  38. Tom Ray says:

    I think “I LOVE HIPSTERS” needs to change his name to “ADOLF HIPSTER.” Hope his parade is out of Brooklyn.

  39. Dave says:

    priceless !!!! but I wish I shared your optimism about the hipster demise … in Atlanta they seem to be growing in strength … ugh ! … all these kids from the suburbs making the city safe for designer dumpster chic depress me … when will they be gone ?????

  40. The Pontificator says:

    Hipsters: there’s a tornado outside in Queens. Please go out and play kickball.

  41. Cuddle Party Boner Rampage says:

    I love how the Toronto Sun calls him a hipster right in the headline.
    They don’t mince words.

  42. Remember the Hipster Grifter?

    Remember how the hipster guys still fantasize about her like she gave them their first ever blowjobs before cleaning out their bank accounts?

    Well, now they’ve made a classical opera about her. Playing soon at the Masturbation Bros theater to a full house. That singer’s got the right figure for the part.

    • FaceTheFacts says:

      The Hipturd Grifter was the closest thing to positive attention these betas have ever received from a female that didn’t have hairier legs than them. Although she qualifies as simply average (at best) when compared to other females on the streets of major Asian cities like Tokyo or Seoul, she’s a straight-up dimepiece and a walking wet-dream in the eyes of the the average, desperate Josh — a self-esteem lacking, desperate soul who’s used to Meghans who look like his friend Caleb in drag. I personally can’t harbor much in the way of ill feelings towards Kari Ferrel since her victims were stupid hiptards who got played thinking they were going to get laid.

      Oh, and that opera . . ..WTF?

    • sKILLz says:

      thats the 1st Asian woman i have seen with a white name like that!! “The shop” oh how original!!

        Want to have some fun? When some one under 30 needs a can opener lend them an old school pierce and pry model (you’ve seen them in period movies) with the little scimitar blade and don’t give instructions. Hours of family entertainment!
        Better yet, hand them a two in. GI P-38 C-Ration can opener that servicemen wore on their dog tag chains. They won’t be able to figure it out.
        When I was 7 the Weekly Reader kid’s newspaper had a feature called In The Future showing products in development. There was a photo of a soft drink can with a big round pull-tab and the caption ” In the future, soft drinks will come with the opener right on the can!” Gad, this modern age!

      I noticed that too. It’s been mentioned many times on this blog before, but it begs to be repeated: these bearded soft-men are NOWHERE close to being like the real men who train every day and work hard to be professional athletes. They are not even real fans. All the hipsters I’ve ever met are bandwagon fans at the most, and don’t even understand the nuances of the sport. Why the NFL decided to use one of these losers as their latest mascot is beyond me. The NHL better not follow suit (if there is a season to speak of, of course), hockey is the last frontier for me where real men and women still exist as athletes and fans. ::end rant::

          I would pay good money to see hipturds get their heads kicked in by Ultras (Soccer Hooligans).

          • Eduardo Snapper says:

            Send the hipturds on a tour of South Bermondsey, London (the home of Millwall FC) and supply them with complimentary maroon and turquoise woolie hats and scarves (the colors of Millwall’s archenemy West Ham United FC). The Bushwackers, Millwall’s firm (soccer hooligan gangs are called Firms), is one of the most notorious.in the UK.

            For added measure we could get them to do a flash mob sing along of “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles” (West Ham’s theme song) — Heh heh!

            • FaceTheFacts says:

              That would be epic. The problem is, how would we convince them to sport rival team colors? Perhaps put a bug in the ears of American Apparel, Urban Outfitters or some other store which sells to fauxhemians?

                How about sending them to Liverpool with big T-shirts reading “I (heart) Tom Hicks”?

                • Jack says:

                  I used to wonder why it always seemed to be the least respected US owners (Hicks/Gillett, Glazer) who were attracted to Premier League teams. I’ve begun to think it’s because, to their credit, most competent US sports owners try to run their teams as businesses, at least somewhat. They recognise the Premier League as an F1-style structure where very few clubs are really likely to turn a profit, especially if they expect to be successful, in which case they must be vanity projects making massive losses.

                  Randy Lerner, who seemed a bit more capable at first, discovered this too late and has now more or less given up on Aston Villa, which he bought at the peak of the boom years in 2006.

                  And since this is a New York-based blog, I don’t think I’ll get in any trouble for suggesting that Fenway Sports Group has bitten off a LOT more than they thought they were going to be chewing at Liverpool.

        You know why they use them. Because ‘the millenials’ are a massive generation just in terms of numbers. Just like their Boomer parents that taught consumerist oriented marketers so much about “hookin’ & holdin’ ‘em to the grave”, the millenials are the new life of various corporate economies. These little ‘indie’ business’, wether kickstarted or trust funded, are of no threat whatsoever to the big boys who have seen it before and know how to subsume them and bring them around to reality. IOW, Josh and Caleb can blabber all they like on websites and to bored journalists about how ‘authentic’ they are, but the fact of the matter is they will lose that authenticity just as soon as a ‘suit’ rolls in, whips out a fat check and says,”You’re out of business as of today boys. Agreed?”, and that’s that.

        Anyone’s suspicions that the ideological mumbo-jumbo this massive hipster pool tries to purport as ‘authentic’ is utter horseshit may have no idea how really accurate their suspicions are. It is ALREADY a fact that their hippy parents put up way more of a fight in terms of not caving to political pressure or refusing to cut their beards or hanging on to their commune mentalities before caving in and returning to society, than their pale, thin, feeble minded offspring have or will. I think OWS and the fascination with Hitler as a commodity pretty much says it all, nevermind the hairy chocolate and pretense about liking ‘masculine’ sports.

        BTW, anytime a hipster male gets anywhere near a very macho sport, you can bet they are going to later be ‘ironic’ about it with their hipster friends and mock the living shit out of ‘the muggles/normals’ who sincerely do like football.
