This is the kind of thing that happens when you hire David Cronenberg to design your marketing campaign.

I think this is part of the latest Matthew Barney installment - "Cow Births Bony Assed Hipster" series...

I'm betting on a sunglasses marketing campaign gone wrong.

The "never hide" slogan seen on the container near the end in a Ray-Ban thing. So... yeah. Even more confusing than first thought.

CHILD: Mommy, where do the stinky, bony hipsters on Cap Hill com from?

"Never hide."

Would it be easier to define what you won't call a hipster?

It may take my mind off Ricin but now for some strange reason I want some Hipster-Grade Anthrax.

So, is there someplace in town I can have hipster veal?

The message gets lost, but you can't fault Ray-Ban for trying!

"never hide"... the icky hipster was hiding (in a cow (in a cow hide no less...)) and he shouldn't have because you should never hide... and because its messy... (I like the gees at the end...)
