Wow.

To their credit, just when you think hipsters have his the "oh, this is fucking ridiculous" ceiling, they go and top themselves:
I wrote once before about the little-known fact that America’s stockpiles of used t-shirts mostly ends up in the third world as cheap second-hand clothing for the global poor. Now along comes the notion of Project Repat that wants to exploit hipster demand for the double-irony of used t-shirts from Africa by buying these shirts at developing world markets, shipping them back to the United States, and using the profits to finance charitable activities:
I'm glad the profits are going to charity.  But how they top this one, will be fun to watch.  Digging up used t-shirts from DEAD Africans, maybe?
