Don’t those pictures on Hipster Yoga look familiar? It’s like you’ve seen those chain-smoking, PBR guzzlers with the tattoos and facial hair before. And you have, but that guy in “Mountain Pose” with the mustache wasn’t on the L Train or in your yoga class (hipsters don’t exercise). He’s actually Look at the Fucking Hipster‘s featured douchebag from more than a year ago. The “Bird of Paradise” sporting the fur coat is from LATFH‘s April 22, 2009 post. While the explanations of modified asanas are funnier than any caption on LATFH, Hipster Yoga‘s attempt to pass the shots off as their own – affixing its own watermark on images ripped from LATFH‘s user generated gallery – makes them the ultimate poseur.
Nice detective work Columbo!
The watermarks were being added automatically by my blog setup, and I definitely wasn’t trying to pass these off as original photos (I thought it was pretty obvious that they weren’t, considering all the OTHER watermarks).
But I see your point so I removed + disabled all the watermarks. Are you happy now?
Thanks for saying that Hipster Yoga has funnier captions :-).
