A conservative radio talk show host called Jay Mundy describes his first visit to Williamsburg earlier this week. It’s kinda hilarious until you realize that people this close-minded actually exist. Some out-takes:

williamsburg-bathroom-0609.jpgIt is a place that is now the official hipster neighborhood of the United States of America…I never thought that could exist here…I couldn’t believe it. It is so left wing, how do I even describe it…If you could see what this place looks like…Just think of the most left-wing hippie, lunatic, nutcase; get that in your head and multiply it by thousands. It is extremely scary…Tattoos and people who are high on drugs all day and they are wearing weird clothes, like something you can’t imagine, like a Hollywood picture, but here it was in the real world. Someone I was with said it’s like all the misfits in this country went to this neighborhood. There’s graffiti everywhere cuz they think graffiti is art…They are extreme leftists. I’ve never seen so many sick weirdos gathered in one place. They’re all doing drugs all day. They have their hair died and tattoos so they can’t have a job so they’re all living on public assistance…They love Obama and the leftists and hate police power. They’re carefree people. If I lived there a day, I tell you I would be in jail for murder…They don’t believe in toilet paper there because it hurts the environment…I think even some left-of-center Democrats would be grossed out.

Someone better explain to this guy the difference between a hipster and a hippie. You can check Part 1 and Part 2 of the interview on YouTube.

  1. “The What, I wash my ass,”

    Alcohol wipes don’t count.

    “I live in a humdrum working class neighborhood”

    East Williamsburg right?

    “wasn’t here in the 70’s”

    Hipster Alert!!!!

    “don’t have an std.”

    Rewrite!
    don’t have an std, yet…

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  2. Hate to break the news to Jay Mundy and The What, but Billyburg hipsters are NOT left wing – they are not driven by politics, concerned about government, or trying to improve the lives of the poor by any stretch of the imagination.

    They are libertarian hipsters who want no part of social responsibility – they want to be able to do the drugs they want without gov’t interference, work or not work, live more or less peacefully without anyone telling them what to do and without telling anyone what to do.

    I’m not a hipster but I admire the way they have created a haven for like minded people with their own aesthetic. lots will be in for a rude awakening as their trust/parental/freelance funding dries up, but whether or not you like it they have their own culture, which is more than I can say for the ass-hats who dominate wall street or the corporate hos of the west village and meatpacking, etc…

    in anticipation of nasty comments from The What, I wash my ass, I work, I live in a humdrum working class neighborhood, wasn’t here in the 70’s and don’t have an std.

  3. This would have been a much cooler story if a significant right wing pundit like Sean Hannity or Bill O’Reilly went on a Williamsburg tirade. But alas, I guess we’re still small time.
