One my friends, whose name is not Janet, had her picture snapped by a random photographer on the street who, it later turned out, worked for Vice Magazine. He included the picture in Vice's "Dos and Don'ts" section, with the unclever caption: "Oh, look, Chrissy and Janet bought a whole case of bottled water for the apartment and now they’re wheeling it home on your skateboard that they borrowed. All is right with the world."
The true story is they stole the water from an unmanned construction site, but Vice turned it into "bought", to make it all the easier for their ignorant commentators to healthfully lash into "Chrissy and Janet" for their clothes, consumerism, and just for being them. The comments are purely idiotic, and should give a clear window into the dumb ass readership that Vice has.
Some samples:yeah.thanks for the water.all is right in the world.
User Allie. sums it up best: "angry internet comment".
apart from one little thing.
-where's the beer you dumb bitches?
the clothes are the biggest NO i've seen... this is pathethic, vice's hipsters are lamer than ever
Seriously, the clothes are a do (i guess) but what's with the case of bottled water?
Yup, they just paid money for something that's basically free. That makes sense.
this looks like an advertisement for gentrification.
FUCK BEDFORD STOP ENTITLED BITCHES.
It's every girl in the bay area. Now go to your loft and drink bottled water until you're old enough to become yuppies
It's just so easy these days for internet lame-asses to rip into the idea of "hipsters", that even Vice Magazine's readership, the epitomy of hipsters themselves, provides a solid self-lashing over two normal girls walking with a case of bottled water. Lame lame lame lame lame.
