I hope we all understand that you can nod your head along to the sentiments in this video and still be a part of the problem.

So you're including yourself in that group, yes?

Or are you too hipster for that? "I was counter-culture before counter-culture was a culture."

So that makes him a hipster elitist because he's not a Jerry Springer fan? Count me as one of them too because I watched that Springer element go from fringe to prime-time mainstream over the past 15 years and there's no escaping it. The in-your-face booger-eating shock value that at one time you only saw in the mentally-challenged kid in your school.

And now this instant powdered fame has become a bankable commodity, if you're a pretty girl who eats her own earwax or admits to liking the smell of farts you can become a star. Or you don't mind pranking your mother on-camera by telling her that you're pregnant with your high-school art teacher's baby, just to "push the envelope" of reality TV.

Like the guy in the movie my workplace is full of college grads who were weaned on this crap, it's all they know. They talk like they think they are some sitcom sidekick, spitting out this stream of snarky, hip, pop-culture references and this week's memes and reality show updates. With a smug grin because the studio audience in their head is cheering them on.

So you can have it. Call it a hipster pose but I am too good for this crap. I don't care if there are 32 million of them, this crap is for morons and it will only get worse.

Hey it's Pete from Dharma and Greg! I didn't know he was a Murray.

@ulysses1904

Slow your roll there, bucko. I was implying that only a hipster would say some shit like Gorillaman did.

That even if my views are the polar opposite of the American Idol-esque popculture.. that I'm somehow still culpable and complicit.

Only if you pay them.

I couldn't help but think, as I watched, that everyone who sees this video is relating to Frank.

You could play this during the commercial break of Fear Factor and the audience would nod in agreement. You could play it during Limbaugh and the audience would think he was condemning Democrats You could play it at an Occupy protest and the audience would think he was condemning corporate greed.

Everyone will shoehorn their own opinions into Frank's words and see him as a reflection of themselves. It's like a fucking horoscope.

I haven't seen the movie yet, so before I watch this clip, does it contain spoilers? It's at the very top of my Netflix queue, yet Netflix keeps sending me other movies below it even though it doesn't show it having a wait time.

This clip is repeatable and stands well by itself. Spoiler only in that you'll see it again when you watch the movie.

Also it's close to the beginning of the movie.>> ^jimnms:

Frank is half-right to the point of hilarity.

I am the hipster elite Heeple Sheeple titan supreme leader with cheese! And I approve this message in a nonchalant disaffected sort of way while listening to my "Classic" NOW THAT'S MUSIC tracks on my U-pod wearing my fattest Stussy gear.

BTW... Female Greek Soldiers were called EsTrogans.........

I noticed that, and I bet that's why they keep skipping it. I prefer to get the DVD/Blu-ray for a couple of reasons. The streaming movies don't have surround sound, and I like the extra features like deleted/alternate scenes that you only get on the disks.

Thanks for not talking during the feature has been added as a related post - related requested by Barseps on that post.
