Jesus Christ: The Original Hipster
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The concept of a “hipster Jesus” has been around for some time as an Internet meme, and now the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn has adopted the idea.
Animal New York late last week posted a photo of an ad on the side of what appears to be a pay phone kiosk, calling Jesus Christ “the Original Hipster.” The advertisement by the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn shows a pair of red Converse shoes under Jesus’ robes.
The ad has appeared at bus stops and phone kiosks throughout Queens and Brooklyn, according to Animal New York.
The diocese discussed the ad in a recent news release, which noted that today, “most Catholics see the church as archaic and not relevant, nor valuable, to their everyday lives.”

Hipster Jesus had better be playing Bonarroo this year.
