Christ, they’re making a reality show about Silver Lake hipsters… Maybe I should apply?

Oh boy. Perhaps trying to capitalize on Ellen Page and Alia Shawkat’s in the works Williamsburg-to-Silver Lake comedy, some reality show producers are looking for rich, poorly-dressed Silver Lakers to show off their lives on television. Here’s the Craigslist pitch: “A new Reality Show is casting Silver Lake’s rich, wealthy, hipster GUYS and GIRLS 21-30 whose personal style is homeless chic: Guys with beards, ratty hair and raggedy yet stylish clothing ?

I’d probably watch this show if each episode ended with the corpses of hipster douchebags being dragged behind Hearses through the streets of LA as some kind of example to other irony obsessed assholes.

I’d be sure to watch if they had their home invaded (in the midst of an Electro party) by a group of racially diverse and intriguing escaped mental patients who have tied them up and proceeded to torture them by stabbing them with cut-up Pabst cans.

  9 hours later, they’re ironically arse raped with a series of gardening implements of increasing size and girth.  Beginning with a plastic child’s trowel and ending with a full size sit-on mower.  Which is covered with angry wasps.  Who are on fire.

  After this, There might not be a single face of casual detachment left in the room.

WORSHIP ART IRONICALLY. this is my messege to the hipsters.

l leave this post with some inspirational words, “Haters want to hate, lovers want to lover, i don’t even want - none of the above; I want to piss on you. piss on you , piss on you.”

yes i do - yes i do.

don’t eat the yellow snow.

Is rich hipster an oxymoron?  I mean, there are plenty of well-to-do folks with nice houses in those hills, but I would imagine that most who would fit the stereotype they are referring to are struggling artists or clerks at the American Apparel.

Also, I would think these types are more self-aware than The Hills or Jersey Shore folks… wouldn’t they realize the point of the show was to mock them, ostensibly? Or perhaps they would find that hilariously ironic?
