On any given night of the week on Granville or in Yaletown (and increasingly in Gastown on the weekends), Vancouverites dread coming face to face with a terrifying sub-species that is becoming all too scarily familiar. Join us and play witness as “the BBC’s critically acclaimed documentary series Human Planet explores the natural habitat of one of mankind’s least-understood specimens: The Douche”.

Yes, it is stressing. I guess the only logical conclusion is that Vancouver is the douchiest city ever, filled with the biggest douchebags. I think it’s only aided by the fact that Vancouver continually pats itself on the back over its delusion that it’s the greatest place on earth. That kind of thinking and “logic” is nothing but pure baby batter for douchebag breeding.
Douches arent really too concerned with Vancouver’s whatever status in the world. Douches just wanna partay. They arent that reflective beyond what’s in front of them. In fact, douches would be more likely to bitch about how lame this city is not unlike some other types we know. I am also curious as to why anyone thinks Vancouver is a HW when it comes to pound 4 pound doucheness though. Does Calgary or Toronto have less per capita?
I also heavily question the douche term in this day and age, much like hipster.. Both terms have surely become extremely watered down and more used in convenience than consistency.
Its a hard balance, eh? Not too many douches, not too many hipsters?
To truly understand the Douche culture, one needs to read Jay Louis’ milestone tome Hot Ciciks with Douchebags. He charts the culture and it’s many offshoots all the way back to the genesis and the first real Douchebag Richard Greico.
Vancouver is a very small part of the culture and isn’t even the douche leader of the GVRD. Burnaby, particularly the Hastings corridor has many more douches then anywhere in Vancouver. They aren’t the nocturnal douches one sees on Granville but are the 24/7, Jersey Shores wannabe, spray tanned to the proper shade of orange, Affliction shirt in size smedium wearing douche legends.
Anyone interested in this culture needs to know the history of the great douches of our time. The Donkeydouche, the Gator, Joey Porsche, Fung, the Prompaloopas, Tiger Woods, B4,4, and Greico.
