Someone sent us this Hipster Olympics clip saying, "You gotta watch this. It's soooo hilarious! They totally diss Vice." So we started watching it, and we continued watching it, waiting for it to get funny, but it didn't. They mention us about 7 minutes in, but we got so distracted blowing crumbs out of our keyboard that we missed it. Seriously, didn't the hipster handbook come out in like 2003? What's next? A video of hipster bloggers talking about why Pitchfork isn't what it used to be? (It isn't.)
the new slogan for viceland should be: unfulfilled dreams in the city of losers.

you can tell the people who made this video are relatively sharp, observant folks... you'd think they would've found something better to do with their time.
give me irony and silly myspace pictures any day over (self?)-parody and what werner herzog would call "the culture of complaint."

Uh being funny is totally not deck. Now I'm gonna go sip on some bronsons, and check out the stereogum.com post about Interpol.

You guys do a good job of not taking yourselves too serious. This video isn't funny and should've been presented more as an editorial on why these people are so wack. As You mentioned the subject matter is a bit dated. But these are things I hate about some of my friends and other people I know that read your magazine and take it way too serious.

The beginning is kinda funny, but then it just gets dullsville.

pitchfork never was, bitches.

Yeah so I noticed almost everybody that doesn't really have a sense of humor about themselves. I was rolling on the floor seeing this shit.

If you can't laugh at yourself you're just another hipster douchebag.

So what if it isn't funny? It is true. It hurts you.

Vice: I get the joke. Very clever.
Posted by: DX | 25/09/2007 at 01:03
It's funny, it's true and more importantly, it's a joke. It's not exactly blowing the comedic barriers off or pioneering anything... but COME ON. lighten up.

why bother!

I'm confused, if only there was some secret place i could go to get a straight answer on whether I'm suppose to find this funny or not.

vice has shitty non-sense hipster articles. Everyone who reads the vice magazine and has real glass in his glasses should realize that.

I can't tell if the OP is being humorously ironic or genuinely is criticising the piece, either way: LOL.
