Et tu, Altbro? [bro betrayal]

Photo by Sam Hornine


Yall have probably heard of the popular Roman Emperor ‘Julius Caesar.’ He was a bro who was once on top of the world, but then lost it all. Apparently, he had some sort of clan of bros, but then his bros got ‘mad jealous’ and ‘totally greedy.’ They decided to kill him, and even his main bro, Brutus was in on it. When he was about to die, he finally figured out that BrutBFF was ‘in on it’, and he just said:

‘Et tu, Bruté?’
aka ‘even u, Brutusbro?’

Here is a picture I made of Julius being betrayed by his group of core bros.

Damn. Wonder if the bro with that tattoo was ‘betrayed’ by some1 close to him, like his parents, a girlfriend, or possibly his best bro. Can’t imagine always wanting to remember that I was betrayed by getting a tattoo of it. Sorta reminds me of when Ed Norton got a swastika tattoo for the movie American History X, but then had to keep it for the rest of his life.

Also admire the bro’s symmetrical ‘Vietnamese execution bro’ tattoo.

Seems like this bro is ‘very in touch’ with human suffering, and possibly ‘outsourced his body’ to be some sort of symbol or think piece to remind ppl that there are ppl out there who have it worse than us.

He seems noble. I srsly would never do that. I feel like I’d end up getting a tattoo that was ’simple and kewl’ like a barb wire tatty around my arm, or possibly some sort of ‘interesting tribal tattoo’ that attracted females to me. Might just get a ‘zany tattoo’ for the sake of it being an internet meme.

Have u ever been betrayed by a core group of bros?
What do u do to remind urself that other people in the world are suffering?
Would u ever get a tattoo of an AZN being executed?

    Pls get rid of all those tattoos except for one sleeve.
    And maybe try lifting some weights and not walking around like a douche.

    I wish Carles would just come out and admit to being Carlos Perez, altino/standard bro. I think it’s time for him to begin the next phase, the ‘anonymous’ bl0gger shtick is s0 2k7.

    @mr. jeffers, i dont get why people are obsessed with finding out his identity. i enjoy reading this blog, i dont need to track down the author or have a picture of him in my wallet. didnt anyone ever wonder why carles decided to be anonymous.

    This guy is named Matthew (for the Development agent) and he’s everywhere now, he’s in a spread for oaknyc (perennially one of the top boutiques in the world) and he has a really good editorial in contributing editor. I presume his addition to HRO makes him quite, the “it” bro, or, at least virtually relevant.

    He also has great tattoos.

    Here are the notes:

    Hey HO readers I am about to get vulnz with yall. I have a big problem with ‘how I look’. I have a ‘big nose’ kind of like the lead singer of Grizzly Bros has. I just want 2 cum on as man “alt broads” as possible but having a big nose makes it ‘hard to do’. The Lead singer of Grizzly Bears can get ‘hot alt-broads’ like that girl from the Ipod ad who ’sang’ ‘12345′. My problem is I have ‘no talent’ and a mediocre ‘personal brand and am ‘ugly/gross’ so I can’t get any ‘girls’. I have some “middle class’ parents who might ’subsidise’ me to get a ‘nose job’. I think I want to ‘do it’ but I feel like I will be wrecking my personal brand if get “plastic surgery”. Michael Jackson ‘did that’ and his personal brand was wrecked. Will it cause me to hang my babies out the window. Can you guys help me find out if my ‘alt-brand’ will be wrecked if I do this. Can a nosejob be done ironically? By the way ‘I have no bros’ because I am a ‘loser’ with ‘low self-esteem’. Just want to have ‘meaningful expirience’. What Should I do yall? Yall are the best, I love yall.

    @Big Nose, maybe forget being alt and just go for nerd. Gotta know your limitations there less attractive broads that need less attractive bros and i’m shire there are tons of blind chicks out there so if you don’t mind dogs and canes you’re stoked. Or you’ll just have to go through all your tween hot topic uncertainty phase now and you may still never do well. Or just get a shitload of zany/ironic/hXc tats and some chicks will just do you for that

    Has anyone noticed the dessert sleeves chicks are getting? I can’t wait until they squeeze on or three out and chub up. Then you’ll see the tats and cellulite and it will be great to say ‘i see you like cupcakes’ and laugh

    feel like human suffering bro might be “too intense” for me. Noticed the INRI tats on his right fingers…. not sure what that stands for? Think it’s a type of tofu/sushi???? NEwayz, just seems like he “connects” with a lot of “human suffering” / thinking about being crucified.

    guess that is part of the Yall experience that defines who we are.
