PBR without IRONY
Now this is a story of a real Pabst Blue Ribbon drinker.
This is not some 21-35 year old hipster roughing it in Brooklyn in a $2000+ apartment. This is not some douche with the accidental beard telling three different people in one day, his three different professions (artist, musician, or writer). This is not some scrawny, un-bathed fuck who plays kickball or started playing guitar at age 26 or takes the L Train back and forth from Williamsburg to Union Square 10 times a day and accomplishes nothing.
In the New York Post there was a very small article about a 67 year old Midwestern man who ordered his casket or coffin to be in the shape of a PBR can, his favorite beer. Being that he's not ready to die, he's been filling it with ice and cans of PBR. If this story is true, which I think it is, it can show the douchebags who are taking a 2-5 year vacation in New York how this guy in Illinois is NOT ironic. He's the real thing. The transplants on the other hand ARE being ironic. We don't like irony here, have you not gotten the picture? Don't tell me that four years of college didn't at least teach you that you don't spend $1000 too much for rent to be cool and then sacrifice by drinking PBR. Oh, you struggling former Midwestern mall rats, you!

for nothing in your head....
Just me and my lack of originality!

Hey. I like irony. Like the irony of a hipster trying to be original but showing up to the party wearing a neckerchief off the same rack at the Family Dollar as the rest of his douchebag friends?
What about the irony of getting heated over the kids game of *kickball* when you only do it to be ironic in the first place?
Also, what about the irony of going to a site that /makes jokes/ about hipsters, getting upset, and then claiming that other people don't get the joke?

PBR didn't become the hipster drink because it's ironic (Budwiser would be much more so), but because it tastes the best of cheap beers.

PBR is ironic because it is the official beer of the KKK. And by the way, it tastes like warm piss on a hot suimmer's night.

Actually, most of us midwesterners drink PBR and other Miller products b/c its made HERE in Wisconsin. . .Same goes with Budweiser out of St. Louis. . .The ironic types are probably guzzling Lone Star for the irony.
