Sheep Spotting in Williamsburg!

Photo via DL is OK

According to this Twitter update, farm animals are super in right now amongst the skinny jean set. The witness twote, "I just saw a hipster walking a sheep on Bedford Ave. So hot right now!" People, please take photos next time.

UPDATE: The sheep has been photographed... but sadly it looks like it's an "employee" of the Party Pets company, and not part of some hipster rooftop farm. So, um, who was partying with a sheep so early in the morning?

The word hipster has officially lost all definition.

I thought we were calling hipsters "marshmellow's" now??

Damn! Can you please keep it straight?!

Super lame. So now all these assholes from the midwest gotta bring their livestock with them to the 'big city'? Oh wait I forgot, they are hillbilly transplants, that's his girl/boyfriend.

I'm hung up on the word 'twote'.

grizzzly

Can one tweet on something they observe, thereby becoming a "twitness?" "I Twitnessed a sheep on bedford ave"

Almost everyone has a cellphone with a camera these days. Good camera are small enough to carry around all the time. There's no excuse for not supplying a supporting photo to the statement unless it never happened. I'm not saying it didn't happen, only that would be a good excuse for not supplying a photo.

No photo = didn't happen. Is this a news site or isn't it?

No, this is not a news site. This is a blog written by a bunch of children who live in Williamsburg and still get rent checks from their parents who live on the UWS.
