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

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

Moreno, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 16:59 (fifteen years ago)

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.

they're great if u spend a lot of time outside in winter, waiting for buses in the rain, etc

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:16 (fifteen years ago)

- driving in a car with no heat

- after fighting someone

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:17 (fifteen years ago)

i'm not really sure where i'm going this. mostly the buses, that's probably the #1 thing that foils any quitting attempts of mine

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:18 (fifteen years ago)

i'm down to one a night. nice wind-down with some wine on the balcony. smoking american spirits *hipster brand*

Moreno, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:23 (fifteen years ago)

smokers are jokers fwiw

minecraft on a milk sea (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:25 (fifteen years ago)

i've been rolling my own for a while now, mostly to save money. trying not to smoke more than 4-5 a day tho, them fuckers are harsh. (also helps to just sorta puff at it like a cigar sometimes instead of taking a drag)

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:20 (fifteen years ago)

lol @ hipster thread turning into cigarette thread, I guess Camel wins

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:21 (fifteen years ago)

Joe Camel is an OG hipster

Moodles, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:22 (fifteen years ago)

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

that's the joke

Princess TamTam, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:32 (fifteen years ago)

the joke is that hipsters aren't very good at what they do?

normal_fantasy-unicorns (contenderizer), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:37 (fifteen years ago)

or that hes not a hipster *makes u think*

Princess TamTam, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:38 (fifteen years ago)

Everyone knows American Spirits are what real hip people smoke nowadays. Parliament Lights were 2005. Camel is like when you're just getting into smoking.

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:45 (fifteen years ago)

yeah right now i'm really into this old school band, blink-182, u probably never heard of them

tangelo amour (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:50 (fifteen years ago)

princess tamtam, allow me to explain why u r wrong:

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:36 (fifteen years ago)

hipster shore, allow me to explain why u r not funny:

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:36 (fifteen years ago)

every time i see one of these 'funny' 'viral' 'hipster' videos i wish i could see how the actors dress/talk/behave when they aren't pretending to be hipsters in a video for the internet

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:38 (fifteen years ago)

is that like siskel's "the mark of a failed movie is one where I'd rather watch the actors have dinner"?

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:39 (fifteen years ago)

mostly i just wanna know what kind of ppl make these vids
like are they a bunch of stuffed shirts who get together on weekends to 'cut loose' and record 'crazy satirical spoofs'
or just some rando dorks playing dress-up with shit they found in a thrift store?

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:42 (fifteen years ago)

the ones i've seen were actors/comedians hired by will farrell.

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:49 (fifteen years ago)

then will farrell should be ashamed

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:56 (fifteen years ago)

or maybe this whole 'jokes about hipsters' thing is just a huge conspiracy orchestrated by will ferrell. so that he has an excuse to bring attractive young ppl back to his house, put them in ridiculous outfits, and make them drink beer on camera. "look, I know you don't want to wear the tights, but you have to do this! for the sake of sketch comedy!"

guys I think we might be onto something

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:58 (fifteen years ago)

will farrell belongs to a class of comedians such as norm mcdonald or chevy chase who are biologically incapable of feeling shame.

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:59 (fifteen years ago)

yeah, was gonna say: dry well

its improv/theater kids who want to be in comedy but dont want to do stand up

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:33 (fifteen years ago)

"hipster" as pejorative is something ppl do when they feel insecure. feeling insecure is ok just dont project it imo!

~word for the wise~

enfuque (Matt P), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:39 (fifteen years ago)

My bet is if you follow the money its all beer & cigarette companies.

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:57 (fifteen years ago)

Someone I went to high school with posted a photo on Facebook of her toddler with food smeared around his mouth in a shape possibly suggestive of a goatee. Caption: "Our hipster baby :)"

Also, its not like Jersey Shore was called "Guido Shore."
At least they understand hipsters better than the Dashboard Confessional comic.

By which I mean the phrasing rather than the general point.
