Hypocricy in Action...or is it Hipsterocracy?

Adbuster Magazine wants you to read their "Extremely Important Article on hipster culture, and how narcissist, shallow, and consumerist they are. Pity the poor fools who behind their ironic facade are merely puppets for the advertisers!

And on your way out, please stop at Adbuster's online "Culture Shop", and buy Adbuster logo t-shirts, shoes, and incredibly ironic flags! Don't forget to pick up the incredible book by the creator of Adbusters, that tells you how wonderful we are!

Do it! All the cool kids are!
