We know them, we hate them, the painfully hip. The people who added the word griege to our lexicon. As pretentious as any one of the Housewives of New Jersey, these preachy, melancholy souls have been begging for smack down and Unhappy Hipsters delivers brilliantly. The premise of Unhappy Hipsters is simple.

Everyday readers are treated to a single photo, and an original one sentence caption. It's like the perfect comic-blog hors d'oeuvre. Not to be outdone by the deadpan hilarity of the writers, reader comments are often as funny as posts themselves.
Give yourself a good laugh and go have a look.
