Stuff White People Like

Honestly, I was a little disappointed to find out that the incredible blog Stuff White People Like is written by a white guy. But it's still hilarious. The fact that it's written by a white guy obviously makes it satire rather than a skewer, which I suppose is easier for people to handle than if an intelligent person of non-white ethnicity was ethnographically analyzing the peculiar habits of the white liberal.

Everything in this blog is so true and hilarious. The book version of the blog comes out July 1st. I've noticed this trend lately - blogs becoming books - and I like it. SWPL has only been out since January 18th, and already it's attracted a gripload of attention from, like, everywhere. Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, go to the blog; if you have, read this Heeb interview with author Christian Lander.
