History?

[edit]

It seems that the history portion of this page should be edited. There is no published, verifiable evidence that the Hipstamatic 100 ever existed, aside from the website claiming so (although I can no longer find that page on the Synthetic website). The existence of all three of the brothers cannot be verified on anything other than the internet, and there appears to be substantial reason to suspect that the entire "mythology" of the Hipstamatic is an elaborate fraud intended to give historical authenticity to a digital product. Discuss?

Hipstamatic is clearly a combination of the word hip as in hip-ster (Noun: A person who follows the latest trends and fashions.) and instamatic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instamatic)). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.20.35.120 (talk) 18:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's clearly viral advertising created to provide an entertaining backstory, and the literalist treatment of this obvious myth is ridiculous. Viriditas (talk) 03:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
