WTF?

funniest thing ive ever stumbled upon. roman soliders with battle music. "it is a blessed day"

I love NYC

Fun!

looks like fun, wish I could be one of the idiots...

This is why I pay absurd rent prices

look at all these positive comments!

I'm still waiting for the Klan-themed grocery cart.

Looks like SF's Bay to Breakers

OMG this is hilarious...I could just imagine myself doubled over in pain from laughing if I were at this event! Great pics!

I wonder how many of these idiots are living off of trust funds?

Amazing.

Can I just ask what this has to do with anything? You're a music site. I guess I can understand reporting on the plane crash, although really, I didn't see why - you're not a news site, and there are a gazillion news sites - but this isn't breaking news, and people COVERED it.

12:31 -

Really... excellent points, jerk off.

@ 12:31

Who peed in your Cheerios?

so if there was a meteor on collision course with earth, should BV cover it?

Sweet photo's. that guy in blue, walking in the street, reminds me of an traag from fantastic planet.

12:31 is upset because he/she doesn't get laid. pussy and or dicks are great, try either sometime.

there were a lot of people of all adult ages actually. not just hipster kids.

still sore...

the gnomes were team violent gnome.

I know a couple of people who were involved with this. Fucking idiots. 25 year olds and grown ass men. As if 25 isn't grown enought. Looking at the pics, I can't believe black people would get involved with this nonsense too. This escapade is just plain PATHETIC. Get a job or do something productive. Next thing you know, these assholes are going to start crying when the landlord raises the rent for their "artist collective" slash HOME. This time could have been spent handing out flyers to make the $200 individual rent.

This looks fun. Why are some people here so angry?

It took place on a Saturday, you cunt. Even people who have a job get the day off then. Shut the fuck up and be miserable by yourself. No one cares.

BTW, in regards to this question:

"I wonder how many of these idiots are living off of trust funds?"

Of the people involved, the couple idiots that I know are pretty much being fed money by mommy and daddy. Rich mommy and daddy. So if that sample population is any indication of the rest, the actual number may be staggering.

These fucks need to be killed in the worst way. Polluting every damn street of every neighborhood that I choose to live in, whether it be Brooklyn or Queens. Stay in fucking lower Manhattan or wherever. Ride your fucking vintage bicycle with a fedora back in Minnesota or wherever. Get the fuck off my streets. One day you will get blindsided by an SUV. Hopefully my SUV...and my vanity plate will tell it all.

I wish I was out and about when these assholes were running around LIC. I'd be so tempted to ride right over one of those homemade shit mobiles that will probably litter some park disguised as artwork.

A giant saw blade should have chopped them all in half when they congregated at the finish. Fucking dirtbags. Why can't a Jim Jones rise up amongst you all and do the world a HUGE favor. Or at least do NY a huge favor.

A member of the BMG checking in here. Sucks to see that some people are so vehemently against the Idiotarod, but I can't say I'm surprised. We wreak havoc around the city for a few hours each year (well, we don't destroy property or anything, just run around and throw water-soluble pudding).

I can assure those who think Idiotarodders are just trust fund babies, or degenerates w/o jobs, that you're incorrect. We're just people looking to have a good time in an atypical way. My team (2009 was our fourth year running) is all college educated and gainfully employed; three of the five of us are perusing higher education/certification, and/or have already met such goals; all of us make a decent buck.

Maybe you should come out next year and take a look at what it's all about. It may not be your cup of tea, but I was quite skeptical until I ran the first time.

Thank you for taking the higher ground. You are a much better man than me. I appreciate the candor and restraint that came along with your explanation. Much appreciated.

Yes, how unbelievable it is to think that someone who isn't a trust funder transplant would want to have a little fun and do something outside of humdrum New York existence.

the cops wouldnt be having this shit if the contestants were black

"My team (2009 was our fourth year running) is all college educated and gainfully employed; three of the five of us are perusing higher education/certification, and/or have already met such goals; all of us make a decent buck."

Well obviously, you douchebag. No one said you were uneducated and jobless. You lead a vital role in our lives, designing essential minimalist posters and devise new ways to bind eco-friendly hemp diaries.

I can already imagine: spoiled midwestern transplants blasting their favorite "Vampire Weekend" song in their ironic beards and lumberjack attire trashing the shit out of someone else's neighborhood and leaving it to the locals to clean up the mess. Way to go, assholes.

I'm from NYC, I don't live off a trust fund supplied by my parents, nor do I design eco- friendly, minimalist art. I don't have a beard or listen to Vampire Weekend..hell I don't even know who that is. I'm just your average hard working New Yorker who was looking for something fun to do with my Saturday afternoon.

Idiotarod was just that...good, dirty fun. It was my first year running in it and I will definitely be back next year. I don't see why people would hate on something as simple as people looking for new and creative way to enjoy themselves. As for the mess, the organizers were cleaning up throughout the whole race. It was alot less of a mess than a street fair or parade would have created, but that's just one person's option. It's meant to be FUN people, not malicious, like some of the post on this page.

Perhaps you should try it, before you criticize it.

Why does everyone think these people come from the mid-west? (seriously, it's getting annoying. everytime the word "trust fund" is in this blog the word mid-west follows) Whatever happen to CT? Is the mid-west the new CT?

Maybe you just should stop wearing tight pants.
Maybe you should invest in love or a lover.
Maybe you should smile more often.
Maybe you should leave NY because you can't afford it.

Also, 11:01 is a moron for having an SUV in the city. You need to calm down 11:01. You deserve bottle of sleeping pills, taken all at once.

I'm looking at the pictures and, whether you like this event or not, it looks like there were more than a few cute ladies in participation.

Love over hate, ya heard?

Anti-hipster sentiment is really based on a resentment of people who have healthier and more fulfilling social lives. Judging from their comments, a lot of anti-hipster sentiment evidently comes from "tough guy" non-intellectual homophobic macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, physically slimmer, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity. At some point in their lives they probably got mocked and ridiculed, or even had beer poured all over their heads, by some downtown girl with a tattoo (aka "hipster") after trying to pull some lame move on them. If you think about it, in some ways the entire hipster revolution came about to mock and ridicule such people and their mentalities. It's not about meat and muscle anymore. Anti-hipster sentiment often comes from people who simply can't keep up with social change and are envious of those who can. Remember...you can always rate the amount of insecurity someone has by the amount they rant about hipsters.

Everything good in this city comes from the trust-fund midwesterner.

you mean i can just go to mercury lounge at noon tomorrow and get modest mouse tickets that way?
