Hipster Olympics

Everyone knows I hate hipsters.

But these people take hipster-bashing to a whole new level, pitting them against each other in the cradle of their smug, dumpster-diving civilization: Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. I have traveled to this eastern mecca, and upon carefully observing the population and acclimating myself to their eager-to-seem-understated ways, I reached the following conclusion: "So this is where art students go to die."

Sadly though, I missed this year's Hipster Olympics. Like most events in New York, if it's more than 10 blocks from my place and no one dragged me there kicking and screaming with promises of ice cream, it probably wasn't worth the hassle. I can always catch up with the contenders the next time I'm in the Bedford area. From the looks of the video, they'll still be there. It's like someone uprooted a bunch of fringe LSU students and tricked them into thinking they had a purpose.
