Market Contagion Spreads To Hipster DJs

Posted by John Carney, Aug 10, 2007, 9:40am

anotherultragrrrloncontagion.jpgWe're not sure what this means but we're sure it means something when Sarah Lewitinn, the famous hipster DJ and music taste-maker who is also known as Ultragrrrl, starts worrying about subprime effects on the broader financial markets.

So while trying to find articles to explain to a friend of mine exactly what's about to happen in our economy and how a ton of people are going to end up without jobs in wallstreet and then eventually all over america resulting in a crazy recession and an impending economic turmoil, i found this article that I literally thought was from The Onion…

Her comments are echoed today by Bloomberg's Bob Ivry. "Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke was wrong. So were U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Merrill Lynch & Co. Chief Executive Officer Stanley O'Neal" he writes. "The subprime mortgage industry's problems were contained, they all said. It turns out that the turmoil was contagious."

Update: We've swapped out the picture of Ultragrrrl to preserve our "reading on the monitor at work" friendly status. The original picture was too hot for even this market. (Or, maybe, especially this market since the boss may be looking for fire someone, anyone today.) Original picture after the jump.

It's from the cover of the Village Voice. Free on the streets of NYC everywhere. If it's safe for a newspaper cover distributed all over the NYC streets, it's got to be safe for DealBreaker!

FYI ... our employers are all particularly pissed off this morning...

Booo are you equating the standards of acceptability of a broadsheet primarily read by artists hipsters junkies and other downtown bohemian types and typically used to line the boxes that homeless people sleep in to an ostensibly respectable business publication like DB?

Penthouse is sold on news stands on every corner of this fair city maybe DB should post some double penetration shots - after all yesterday's reverse cowboy post got a pretty good response!

Series7.5, I think he was exercising sarcasm.

what the f&ck is a "famous hipster DJ?"

Posted by Series7.5, Aug 10, 2007 11:09AM

This is no time for sarcasm. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ITS LIKE OUT THERE

Oh wait I just did the same thing my bad. For the record I happen to love the Voice and I fully intend to line the boxes I may or may not be sleeping on by kwanzaa

i hate hipsters but i like her...

Just watch out.... you don't want the 'hipster DJ's' brother Lawrence ranting and raving.
I don't think you'd have enough server space....

I don't care what she calls herself but she is not a hipster. Correctly, she is a boobalicious vixen whether she likes it or not. Besides theres no such thing as a famous hipster dj, something like a non-sequitor but much worse

Posted by Elaine, Aug 10, 2007 12:24PM

It's actually non-sequitur.
Yeah, you must be one of those 'hipsters' yourself.

elaine what are you part of the DB copy edit police too? My bad though - I'll make sure to check my posts for correct spelling, grammer, and punctuation from now on for you.

Posted by Lawrence, Aug 10, 2007 1:11PM

Piss off, Melody. My only concern about DB's server space is that clearly not enough of it is spent on Becky Jarvis or Margaret Brennan. Carney, please fix that immediately.

maybe if your employers paid more attention to what is in their portfolio and less time to whether or not boobies inadvertently appeared on an employees monitor, thye wouldn't be getting throttled by the markets. Maybe you work for retards.
