‘Fuhck cahpitalism, I download all my shit for free’
Dr Mumbo is a big fan of comedy duo the Bondi Hipsters, but their latest satirical efforts leave few in the media world unscathed, and actually seeks to take down cahpitalism itself
The video “Fuhck the Bahnks” takes aim at the modern media cycle and media mogul Rupert Murdoch in particular.
It’s unclear whether the hipsters intended to upload it the same day as the subscription television body ASTRA had its big annual conference, but with lines like “Fuck Rupert Murdoch and pay-TV. I download all my shit for free” it will certainly get their attention…
Dr Mumbo was also surprised by the line: “Fuck ownership. Fuck Copyright. Fuck Coke, Pepsi and Old Spice.”
Particularly as it’s only a couple of weeks since the pair did a popular piece of branded content for Old Spice…
Update: Dr Mumbo misheard – It was Sprite, not Old Spice…
I think they say Sprite, not Old Spice…

I think they’re taking the piss out of the people who whine about the media cycle and capitalism, not the system itself. It’s kind of a post-modern-rage-against-the-people-who-rage-against-the-machine kind of a thing. Perhaps. When satire goes too many layers deep it’s hard to know which message I’m supposed to take away.
