If you have not checked out Intern Elizabeth’s terrifying images of hipster violence on the National Mall over the weekend, during the Cherry Blossom Festival, you should do that. Here is a high-resolution film of the event, in which perfectly good goose feather pillows were destroyed because the Internet told them to. [YouTube]

Those are not pillows. They are giant teabags. WHY DO YOU HATE THE REVOLUTION?

I think those are synthetic feathers ’cause they’re all vegans.

Unless it’s unhip to be vegan now? Is the ironic sensibility now to eat meat or something?

I do not watch pillow fights that don’t end in lesbians making out. Thanks.

If that’s how you do tea-bagging, UR DOIN IT RONG!

Now what horrible injustice was that supposed to be a show of defiance against?

Why is pot illegal?

It would keep these freaks safely planted on the sofa where they cannot harm others with their lame ass ideas. Lame ass ideas.

This video is 1:40 too long

These people are “hipsters”? Oh yeah, it’s DC.

This is worse than hipster kickball, but much better than National Take Your Pants Off Day.

clearly, this proves that Capitalism is evil.

Ha! Some Euroteens were doing this over the weekend on the main square in Pécs, Hungary. I watched them try to scoop up all their feathers in plastic bags afterwards.

I’m just glad that’s in high resolution.

Oh, I thought this was the Asperger’s Day Festival.

Did someone see my glasses?

Is it true that Eliot Spitzer came up with this idea? Supposedly he has a lot of experience with geeky pillow fights.

Really, though, what the f?
