The greatest blog?

by Katal LM on Feb 28, 2008 5:55 PM PST

This is absolutely fantastic.

http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/

An example:
BE WARNED, talking about Indie Music with white people is perhaps the most dangerous subject you touch upon. One false move and you will lose their respect and admiration forever. Here are some general rules:

--Bands that have had their songs in an Apple ad are still marginally acceptable
--Bands that have had their songs in ads for other companies are not acceptable
this is my favorite:
--If you mention a band you like and the other person has heard of them, you lose. They own you. It is essential that you like the most obscure music possible.

Other things white people like that the blog discusses are the Toyota Prius, Japan, divorce, and gentrification.

It's funny cause it's true.

I hate indie hipsters.

Absolutely hilarious blog.

I haven't checked yet, but I am guessing having your own blog is a serious white person necessity, thereby giving this blog its own built-in white person cred.

To clarify:

I meant this blog as in the white person blog, not LL.

Uh-oh

Beer threads have lost their taste.

Beer threads never go out of style

we don't dislike macros because they're mass produced, we dislike them because they suck.

Interesting...

Here's one for Jeff, to move him up on the honkey scale:

WARNING: under no circumstances should you EVER list Dane Cook as your favorite comedian. The wrong kind of white people like him. And mentioning him will cause white people to lose all respect for you.

My favorite so far:

White people love stations like NPR (which is equivalent to listening to cardboard), and they love shows like This American Life and Democracy Now. This confuses immigrants from the third world. The see the need for radio as a source for sports, top 40 radio and traffic reports but they don't quite understand why people who can afford TVs and have access to Youtube, would spend hours listening to the opinions of overeducated arts majors.

Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
