Enjoy.

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

I don't like Mos Def.

[Cowboy Battlenuts 0]

I do. Not that big on divorce or dogs tho...

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Funny stuff. Although I don't really like much of that stuff personally, until it got to Sarah Silverman.

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

Could have been much more funny than it was. Too much shit that everybody likes, such as marijuana.

[Cheech Tremendous 0]

I got bored with it really fast, but the truth is I do love most of that stuff. Hell, I have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and it IS the focal point of my kitchen.

Remember, at a concert everyone is watching you just waiting for you to try to start dancing. Then they will make fun of you.

 

lol.

[Jingus 0]

Reading the whole list, only 30% of these apply to me. As being the whitest whiteboy who ever whited, I call shenanigans.

[alfdogg 0]

Corned beef, cauliflower, and parsnips.

[Slayer 0]

So, inversely, is this "Stuff Colored People Don't Like"?

At some point, you will likely encounter a white person who is in the middle of a difficult breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Fuckin' racist! I do like expensive sandwiches though!

I'll never understand paying for expensive sandwiches. Or food, for that matter.

 

I'll go out with friends, and they'll insist on going out to eat somewhere where the cheapest dish is like 16$. What the hell? Pisses me off. Especially when these restaurants are always next to like a Wendy's where with a student discount I can get a full meal for 2.75. (3.00 now, since they raised the price of fries )

 

Yea, so, I'm' cheap. But there's still no reason why I should be paying the price of say, a couple of DVDs, for just one meal.

Fuck Wendy's. Give me a fancy panini with imported meats and pesto on fresh baked bread any day of the week.

 

Cheech = Keepin' it really white since '82

Just sit there and order a water. They'll feel guilty eventually.

[Guest Michael Myers Resplendent]

Hey Exslade, does Wendy's have its game face on?

That went over my head.

 

Yea.

Depends on the restaurant, but high quality ingredients should cost about that much money. If not, then you're eating shit (quite literally if you consider what goes into beef production these days).

 

You're probably fat and lack taste too, I bet.

Nah. Lack taste maybe. But not fat.

Fuck fast food, give me mid-range restaurants like Olive Garden and Red Lobster.

This could have been done in one post: Turn up the treble.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Being the whitest person on here (Im almost a freaking Albino) the only things I liked were

 

Expensive Sandwiches, Kitchen Gadets (I have too many), Whole Food Stores (wish I had one local), Arts Degrees (Culinary Arts!), Asian Fusion Food (Mexsian is my current favorite), Sushi (are we noticing a trend here..hmm), Tea (damnit), Organic Food (fuck) and Farmers Markets (god damnit)

 

 

[Mik 0]

Ok - I like or engage in:

 

Standing still at concerts (i sometimes move a little bit but never outright dance), expensive sandwiches, Juno, Apologies, dogs, living by the water, Asian Fusion Food, sushi, indie music, apple products, Arrested Development, breakfast places, The Daily Show/Colbert Report, microbreweries, traveling, "gifted children", tea, Wes Anderson movies, film festivals, coffee.

 

Some of this is trying a little too hard but there are some greats spots. Like this.

 

White people love Wes Anderson movies more than they love their kids. If a white guy takes a white girl to a Wes Anderson movie on their first date, and neither of them have seen it, they will immediately commence a relationship that is reflected in songs by Ryan Adams and Bright Eyes.

 

Now that's just awesome.

I like a lotta that crap.

[Guest The Elements of Style]

This has been available in book form for about three weeks. I didn't buy it, because I'm nearly certain most of it is available for free, and I'd have read it already anyway. As I understand it, the big Book-Exclusive Bonus Article was just Portland or something.

 

The problem with this sort of class-oriented satire is that it's obviously coming from within, and as such, is lacking the punch it may have had from an outsider. When you read the site, you never really get the impression that this is meant to be any sort of indictment of u.-m.-class liberal twentysomethings, but rather just sort of a semi-ironic self-celebration, and when you read interviews with the author, you ascertain that this is pretty much the case. There's no real vitriol here, and in a lot of respects, I'm not sure it would make much sense for there to be any in the first place: this is not aimed toward people who have had it up to here with college-educated scarf-wearers and their NPR tote bags. He's preaching to the choir (or the irretrievable heathens in the early days of the site when half the comments were, fallaciously, "see how YOU'D like it if we had Stuff Korean People Like!") when poking fun at eating good food, living in nice neighborhoods, being environmentally conscious, and voting for Barack Obama, and I'm not entirely sure they're doing anything wrong, in part because there's never a convincing case made that they are. Look at the responses in this thread: I don't think anyone came out of this feeling stung or the slightest bit discombobulated from being told that they partake in a ridiculous culture of hypocrisy, frivolity, and shallow consumerism, because the blog's author didn't really tell them that. It's not like watching a Three Stooges short where you get some thrill out of Curly giving that ridiculous society lady a pie in the face to really knock her down a peg or two and remind us that this is all a bunch of bullshit. This is more of just a light mocking of the in-group by the in-group, sort of a "haha, yeah, that sure is us all right, but at least we're not them." I'm not saying that friendly self-deprecation cannot exist in comedy, by any means. If I were postulating that, how would I explain a great deal of Jewish humor? That hurdle can be overcome. The real problem is that Christian Lander writes poorly.

I think the worst problem is that it's a mediocre idea from the beginning. The writing manages to keep it afloat for some, but the whole schtick wears thin after the first couple of reads.

 

Good review though, Czech.

I think the opposite. Love the idea, was terribly disappointed with the execution. I could have written this shit, and that's not good.

 

Also , after watching Be Kind Rewind a couple of days ago, I like Mos Def. If that makes me white, then sue me.

I think you answered your own question wrt how this stuff is different than Jewish humor in that first sentence. This is not a historically persecuted race of people using self-deprecating humor partially as a shield against very real prejudice/hatred. This is, ostensibly, a ruling class using trite, toothless "comedy" as a way to preempt/defuse any real criticisms that could be thrown their way. It's self-congratulatory, back-patting bullshit and the fact that these douchebags probably got paid millions+ to put out a book is really pretty disgusting.

Is 'The Wire' on there? White folks love that shit, I'd wager more then black people.

I'd wager to say that more white people get HBO. Speaking of which: Curb Your Enthusiasm. Holy shit, that's a white interest if I ever saw one.
