Default Real Hipsters of Vancouver casting for new reality show

http://www.calgaryherald.com/enterta...214/story.html

Quote:
Within three days of announcing the casting call for a pilot, the Real Hipsters of Vancouver reality show received a hundred audition tapes, several potential offers of financial backing from production companies and a whirlwind of media attention.

Pretty good for a bunch of hipsters, a subculture notorious for not doing much at all.

I thought TLC had some dumb shows, but this just about takes the cake.

I'm waiting for Real Transients of East Hastings. Much more interesting.

But the hipsters there are mainstream. Does it mean they are looking for regular people?

So it will be an hour long show with a bunch of d$$che bags arguing about which band they discovered before it became popular.

The only way this is must see T.V. is if a bunch of angry transsexual commie nazis burst into the room and take them down with controlled machine gun fire.

What's the big deal? They've already made shows about pretty much every other sub culture. The real housewives, Jersey Shore, that fat family honey boo boo, there are shows about rig pigs, ice road truckers, crab fishermen, people who run pawn shops, people who bid on storage containers, there are even reality shows about sports teams and those ufc guys, and don't forget duck hunters and alligator hunters, and extreme woodsmen.

Hipsters are going to love this show. Or maybe they'll hate it if everyone else loves it, but someone is going to watch it.

I should mention I have a few friends in the industry in Vancouver. These shows aren't "real" at all. If you have to do more than one take / re-do any takes, it's a completely bogus show. They constantly re-do takes to get the best shots for these shows. Mostly fake, outside of some unscripted dialogue. But they're generally told what emotions should be conveyed, who to talk to, etc.

So what they will be filming them sitting in a coffee shop?
Ironically unshaven, looking poor, using free wifi while browsing for jobs and tweeting while using a $2000 mac book pro?

As far as I can tell, hipsters in Vancouver are just modern-day yuppies.

Oh sure, there are enclaves of traditional yuppies surviving in Kits, but they're so passe. Any entitled rich kid worth their salt these days is rocking some big-eyed acetates with Converse All-Stars and skinny jeans, and is big into spoken-word poetry.

Frankly, I expect to see some familiar faces on this show if it gets off the ground.

I remember when TLC stood for the learning channel, and they actually had interesting and informative programming, now they may as well change thier name to TLCD - The Lowest Common Demoninator channel
