BOOTS: The Next Big Thing?

Every few years, some hilarious video that completely savages a San Francisco subculture surfaces.  The last time we saw a video of that caliber was way back in the Fall of 2009, when 'the BBC' reported from Dolores Park.  Herpes in the park!  The Bi-Rite line!  Apathatic 22-year-olds! Anti-American Apparel activism! Iraqi-Japanese fusion restaurants!  Ah, it was good stuff.

Of course, we've been in a YouTube low ever since.  Making fun of the Mission has gone from an elevated art form to a boring list of stereotypes.  Shitting on the Haight stopped being funny when CW Nevius started campaigning for Sit/Lie.  And the Marina is just, well, the Marina.

But out of nowhere comes the bros behind “BillyGoatProductions”, who were clever enough to just take a camera and a microphone and let the Marina speak for itself.  Don't get me wrong, this video is fairly subtle—it's not a bunch of quick clips of punchlines delivered with a British accent—but what it is happens to be highly amusing.

Also, the soundtrack makes me want to take shitty drugs and dance.
