"Hipster" as pejorative.

they are otm about hipster girls idolising Kim Seal (Pixies) if nothing else

I didn't realize Atlas Shrugged was a turn on for the hipster female. I'm way out of touch.

Kim Seal

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII HAVE BEEN KISSED BY A DEBASER

brooklyn ilxors, I know you are enjoying (ironically obv) yr Special-Edition Camel Hipster Cigs

According to Camel, Williamsburg belongs to a borough "brimming with light-hearted angst, and rebellion with break free spirit." Wow, really? "Some call it the most famous hipster neighborhood." I know I do! "But it's not about hip." Oh. Then, no I don't. "It's about breaking free." Oh yeah! "It's about last call," totally, "a sloppy kiss goodbye and a solo saunter to a rock show in an abandoned building." Oh my god it's like Camel followed me around last weekend! "It's where a tree grows." Oh man, nothing says cool like cold-droppin' a Betty Smith reference! "It's Camel in the Williamsburg corner of Brooklyn." That's factually accurate!

so the guy I'm working under now has a BSc in sports science & business

interesting

what is he.....like?

fuck that

wonder how long it will take before ppl realize that their hipster caricatures basically just reveal the scope of their own worldview

like if dashboard confessional is the most obscure thing u can think of, u r not hip, probably do not kno any hip ppl, and have no business writing abt hipsters

also that dude is wearing a v neck

what is this 2007

awful

it's terrible that this is what i'm thinking about but why is he naming his free trade bike service after 'screaming infidelities'? is there going to be hair in the coffee?

lololol

Is the "Portland Craigslist" line just a reference to "Lol there are a lot of hipsters in Portland" ... it really doesn't make any sense otherwise, like if someone wanted to buy records without seeing them and pay shipping, they'd just look on ebay or discogs or something, right?

I think the person who wrote this maybe has seen "Garden State" before but pretty much nothing else.

Maybe they're watching that Portlandia show on IFC?

I like how, without the ability to draw arms, it looks like mr. moustache is wearing a Larry the Cable Guy sleeveless rag.

i refuse to let that cartoon ruin my day

it already has ruined my day

"brimming with light-hearted angst, and rebellion with break free spirit."

haha this is amazing

xp (good cartoons 2 unruin yr day)

oh yah is that from those cigs? those sounded hilarious. i guess they've done 'em for a couple cities, cuz i've seen these las vegas-branded ones at gas stations around here (in north carolina, lol) — actually bought a pack one time and remember it having similarly funny cornball marketing-speak all over it, but I didn't save the pack

mostly the vegas one was hilarious for the overstuffed "FUN!!!" graphic design with like multi-colored fireworks and flashing marquee letters and shit

I guess they're targeting "places where ppl smoke"?

tkx for the hugs, bernard (mr.) snowy. feel much better now.

lol, this shit reads like an onion article:

“The fact that they’re designing a cigarette pack around our wonderful city just really shows what lengths the tobacco industry will go to to market their product and hook more people,” said Southern Nevada Health District Tobacco Control Coordinator Maria Azzarelli.

Others disagree with the health district and welcome the publicity. “I want that pack,” one Las Vegas resident said.

just wanted to join the ppl pointing and laughing at the Dashboard Confessional reference

lol "Dashboard Confessional"

in knoxville i got a pack with new orleans on the front. i asked the woman behind the counter what the deal was and she was like "honey i don't know. i wouldn't mind going there some time though." and i was like "me neither, that's not going to happen any time soon though!" and we laughed. because we couldn't afford to visit new orleans. so thank you, camel, for bringing a little "cajun flava" into our lives via the medium of cigarette package designs. i could almost smell the gumbo. except that years of smoking have damaged my sense of smell.

Camels are so sick

you mean like sick sick or sick sick?

I just mean the smell and taste of them makes me sick.
Sorry, posting without really thinking.
Carry on, thread.

Drum tobacco are doing something similar in the UK. I have no idea what the point is though.

i remember in like 2001 i bought a pack of camels in a casino which was decorated with a shitty illustration of a vegas-style showgirl with a feathered headdress & bikini top. later (stoned) i noticed that the bikini top kinda looked like sunglasses which led to the sudden realization that her weirdly formed shoulders and midriff were ACTUALLY the respective forehead and snout of a SUBLIMINAL JOE CAMEL.

xp

i remember those packs. do they still do camel cash? we used to hoard those in high school.

if you still smoke cigarettes, you deserve to be talked down to

Sorry Mom

... forgot to take out the trash?

i got a nice camel koozie with some camel cash back in the day

i was saving up for the camel island. 8 miles of unspoiled beaches and a cabana with an iron lung in it.

Back in the 90s I went to a Violent Femmes afternoon concert that was open only to people with a certain amount of Marlboro miles. I had a friend who horded the miles so he took a whole bunch of us to this show. Suffice it to say not too many other people turned up for this.

It was a weird show.

if you still smoke cigarettes, you deserve to be talked down to

classist elitism imo
