America wins: Brian Williams makes fun of hipsters

In what seems more like a New York City Chamber of Commerce spot than one for the NBC “Nightly News,” host Brian Williams takes a few jabs at the hipster culture.

In a NBC News promo posted on YouTube, Williams suggests what viewers should do when visiting New York City, including hipster watching in the borough of Brooklyn.

“Best people watching: Brooklyn,” Williams said. “And you’re in luck. You happen to be here in New York during a time of year when the hipsters are out. If you want to blend in a little more thoroughly, get yourself a nice thick ironic glass frame, go to one of those Marrakesh-like outdoor artisanal markets. Brooklyn’s a festival this time of year. They’re openly making handmade grilled cheese sandwiches, all kinds of leather goods, tin, silver, it’s like a walk back in time.”

    Brian Williams is a marxist punk along with being a liar and Obama teet suckler.

    Ok, I admit it. I am NOT “with it”. What in the world is a “hipster” and why should I know or care what one is???

      Actually, you may not realize this, but by confessing your lack of hipness to hipsterhood, you have just established your credentials as one of the very few genuine hipsters.

      All the others who claim to have the keys to understanding the hipness of inherently ineffable hipstericiousness are just pathetically obsolete poseurs, because hipsterhood operates under a set of rules strikingly similar to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: the minute you think you’re hip, you’re not.
