THE 21st CENTURY ISN’T WORKING OUT AS I HAD HOPED: Not a shot! Anti-vax movement prompts Brooklyn hipsters to withhold inoculations from their pets. “Hip youngsters who promote a more holistic lifestyle for their pets tend to be the most vocal anti-vaxxers, Ford said, but rarely have a particular reason for leaving Fido open to infection…A Clinton Hill–based veterinarian, however, said she has heard clients suggest the inoculations could give their pups autism, echoing the argument of those who oppose vaccinating kids.”

Inside every Brooklyn hipster is a General Jack D. Ripper with a fluoride phobia just screaming to be let out.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): To be fair, Jack D. Ripper isn’t looking quite so crazy these days. . . .
