| Academy Award Winning Actor Sean Penn wears a HIPSTER RUNOFF hat Posted: 06 Jul 2010 12:07 PM PDT 
Sean Penn is well-remembered for playing Harvey Milk, the story of a mentally retarded man who runs across the country and serves in Vietnam, eventually returning home and starting a shrimp boat company. His wife Jenny dies from AIDS, but leaves Sean Penn a son to take care of. Sean Penn always delivers solid performances in movies that get Academy Awards and MTV Movie Awards.
It seems like now he will be remembered as a fan of HIPSTER RUNOFF, known by many insiders as ‘HRO.’ In this picture, Sean Penn wears a hat that says “J/P HRO” on it. Not sure what “J/P” stands for, but “HRO” definitely stands for the popular weblog HIPSTER RUNOFF. We can only assume that Sean Penn has a lil Macbook, and his lil home page is set to the lil site hipstar**runoffs. Probably bought that shit from the I AM CARLES store or something. It seems like now that HRO is ‘mainstream’, tons of famous actors, actresses, politicians, and other famous bros trying to be chill will ‘jump on the HRO bandwagon.’ Does Sean Penn seem like a chill bro?
Do u think he reads HRO?
What does “J/P” stand for?
Is HIPSTER RUNOFF going mainstream?
Do yall called HIPSTER RUNOFF “HRO” or H-Ro ?
What is ur fave Sean Penn movie? Luvd him in Shawshank. |
| Iranian government bans personal branding, creates images of approved, Non-Western haircuts for men Posted: 06 Jul 2010 09:18 AM PDT 
Seems like Iran has to be one of the least chill places to live. A place where they discourage u from being ‘u.’ In this picture, some Iranian government official is outlining which haircuts are legal and illegal. Feel like they h8 anything that looks American, or gives you a ‘Western’ personal brand:
In an attempt to rid the country of “decadent Western cuts”, Iran’s culture ministry has produced a catalogue of haircuts that meet government approval. The list of banned styles includes ponytails, mullets and elaborate spikes. However,quiffs appear to be acceptable, as are fashioning one’s hair in the style of Simon Cowell or cultivating a 1980s-style floppy fringe.
Would h8 to live in Iran. Feel like they don’t let you use twitter, the internet, or even cut ur hair to represent your personal brand. Feel like I’d have to give up all of the freedoms that make me ‘me’. Glad I didn’t go to a local beauty school / hair college and start a progressive salon in Iran: Several barber shops have reportedly been shut down and penalised in recent years for offering Western-style haircuts.
Sometimes I feel like my spirit/brand is too ‘free’ to exist in America, but I feel like Iran must be ‘hell.’ Would h8 it there. They probably don’t even have malls with legit retailers that sell ‘dog collars’ and other spikey leather shit like that. Guess I’d rather be a man in Iran than a woman in Iran. They make u ‘cover the fuck up’, and u can’t even catch World Cup Fever after watching Landon Donovan’s goal against Algeria in the World Cup.
Wonder if this is true: Earlier this year, an Iranian cleric claimed women who wear revealing clothes cause natural disasters. Hojjat ol-eslam Kazem Sediqi, a prayer leader in Tehran, said: “Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes.”
Maybe we should make women in the Bay Area of California ‘cover up’ so that earthquakes don’t go down n e more. R u pissed at Iran?
Is Iran ‘fucking bullshit’?
R u gonna move to Iran and get a conservative haircut?
Is Iran the new Brooklyn?
Will the USA go to war with Iran over personal branding rights?
R u sad that Iranians will have to cut their spikey hair?
Do u know any Persians, and do they have strong personal brands/care about social status+material things? Am I gonna have 2 cut my scene emo haircut?

| 8 Year Old Lil Alt creates Lookbook profile Posted: 06 Jul 2010 07:03 AM PDT 
Lookbook.nu is a popular alt social network where users come together to create a ‘global fashion scene.’ From suburban Middle America to suburban UK to suburban Korea, every alt who doesn’t live in a relevant alt city can bond with a network of alts, feeling ‘together’ as they look at what they are wearing.
Some altbros are known to ‘pleasure themselves’ while browsing lookbook, since it features many barely legal alt sluts [via hipster porn]. Not sure if that is ‘legal’ or if u can go to jail if they find out. It seems like alts are getting younger and younger. This 8 year old alt from Portugal named Nana S created her own lookbook profile. When I was 8 years old, social networking, ‘the alt internet’, and blog buzz didn’t even exist. Feel amazed that this lil alt coordinated her own photo shoot, uploaded pix to her computer, touched them up in photoshop, and then uploaded them to Lookbook. Feel like this alt is a ‘baby genius’ or something.
How alt were u when u were 8 years old?
Will this alt get a modeling contract with Baby Gap/Baby Am Appy?
Is this lil alt a Baby Genius?
Should I move 2 Portugal to raise an alt kid, kinda like Noah Lennox?
Do yall have any other tips to make sure that ur kid grows up to be alt? |

| Black Cat fireworks creates special RATATAT edition firework for buzzband fans Posted: 05 Jul 2010 07:15 PM PDT 
Ratatat is a popular indie band who is slowly ‘fading from relevancy’ after they kept making the same album over and over again, then the entire blogosphere ‘turned on them.’ Maybe they got tired of being a buzzband or something. It seems like they wanted to create some merch that was ‘more meaningful’ than just a t-shirt and some stickers. Instead, they co-branded with Black Cat Fireworks to create a fountain of lights and noise that did their name justice.
The term “Ratatat” is a form of onomatopoeia, and fireworks are a great way to get ur onomatopoeia on, since u can’t really explain the noises that they make. Kinda wanna buy one of these fountains so I can connect with Ratatat.
Do yall think that fireworks sound better/worse than Ratatat?
Should we buy some Rattat-tat-tat fountains and set them off during the middle of relevant concerts?
Should I buy one of these fireworks instead of buying the latest Ratatat album?
Do u think more buzzbands can find creative ways to integrate their band brand into pre-existing products/brands?
Does Ratatat sound like ‘boom bang twang glimmer wahhh wooo eeeerrrr swoooop bang’?
How would u describe what Ratatat sounds like?
Have yall ever been injured by Black Cat Fireworks? |
