Hipster Traps Discovered in New York

Someone Is Setting ‘Hipster Traps’ in New York
Gawker.com
March 14, 2011
This “hipster trap”””baited with Pabst Blue Ribbon, American Spirits, a bike chain and neon-pink Wayfarers””was photographed by Reddit user gigaface, who encountered the fauxhemian hunter in New York City.
Before you object to the choices of bait, remember that having any opinion at all about hipsters or their taste preferences automatically renders you a hipster. (The trap itself, according to gigaface, is made of cardboard.)
Update from from gigaface: OP here – so now that the cat’s out of the bag, it’s safe to say the work was done by Jeff Greenspan and Hunter Fine

Improv Everywhere: The Tourist Lane
This project is derivative of Banksy’s Fat Lane, which created a walking lane for obese people, which was itself derivative of Joey Skaggs’ 1984 Walk Right! project, in which a group of street vigilantes enforced 66 rules of street etiquette for New Yorkers, but New Yorkers apparently still don’t know how to walk right…
From Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere:
For our latest mission, we created separate walking lanes for tourists and New Yorkers on a Fifth Avenue sidewalk. Department of Transportation “employees” were on hand to enforce the new rules and ask pedestrians for their feedback on the initiative.
