Chicago Tribune Interviews A Hipster, Whoops
Classic mistake. Hipsters don’t play your game, Mr. Suit-and-Tie Journalist. The paradigm has shifted, you old media snoozes. You can’t just ask us questions and expect us to care about the truth. We don’t even know you, Chicago Tribune. We get our news through twitter for iPhone and facebook for iPhone and iPhone by iPhone. We’ve got a really smart friend who went to a barely accredited private school and he or she tells us all we need to know about the economy and politics. You are too late!

Many CTA riders appear almost clueless about making themselves look like less of a target, even though law-enforcement and the news media have tried to focus attention on the crime spree.
“The subway is sort of creepy to me so I listen to music or use the apps on my iPhone to look busy in a crowd,” Gwen Daniels, 31, said when interviewed at the Clark/Division station on the Red Line Friday to ask if she knew that thieves are focusing on easy prey carrying expensive phones.
When asked whether she planned to be more careful, Daniels shrugged and said, “I’m from Canada,” then walked off.
Later, Daniels was informed that a prehistoric bear-rhinoceros had infiltrated our spatial dimension through a fresh wormhole and was closing down the bike lane on Milwaukee at North Avenue.
“Ughh. People are so rude here,” Daniels said before pedaling away.
