Look at the Fucking (Kufiya Wearing) Hipster

The kufiya is by now so stereotypically associated with hipsterdom (and its follies) that you would expect that this new website, "Look at this fucking hipster," devoted to making fun of hipsters, would feature some kufiyas. And of course it does (thanks, Susana). And it's being constantly updated (you can send in your own photos, if you've got it in for hipsters), so if you like this sort of thing, you can check back.

Meanwhile, a 'fucking hipster', photo posted March 31.


The snarky caption reads: “Hmm…well, the orange matches my helmet strap and the avocado goes perfect with my Yasir Arafat scarf. All I need now is something to go with my fucking disgusting sneakers, and I should be all set with groceries.”

Yasir Arafat scarf? In turqouise? That's a new one!

And this one, from April 19.



The caption reads, “Thank you, but we prefer to be called Hipspanics.” (Uh, no comment on that 'pun.')

i just got an email from the arab american national museum who is selling the "stylish keffiyeh" in "myriad colors." i'm not sure how i feel about the current trend. in general i'm for it, but i wish that an organization like the museum would be a bit more critical:
