Stuff White People Like, Bestselling Book
When the book for the Stuff White People Like blog was sold for a reported $300,000, everyone laughed and cried and wondered how the rushed-to-print blog-to-book would do on the open market. Answer: New York Times bestseller. [Portfolio's Mixed Media] -

Hated Flack Is Secret Hipster
So. We were just reminded of something else about Howard Wolfson, the Clinton communications manager who did not get along with the media. He's totally cool because he's into indie music! Seriously, he sends these playlists to his journalist "friends" (of which he has increasingly few!). The Observer mentioned his annual top-ten list of indie groups and added that "Mr. Wolfson says the darker driving hours are when he allots time to listen to music and to clear his head." Sad! He's probably driving around the beltway right now, doing the whole loop with Exile in Guyville on repeat. Does anyone have one of his playlists laying around? -

And Now This...
Stuff. Indians. Like. Do I really need to do context on this one? Okay, here goes. First there was the blog "Stuff White People Like." And then a bunch of white people were all, "But what kind of white people?" Then the Jews came and they liked stuff too. And more whites came who didn't like anything—not even Mythbusters! Now Indians, from India, have a stuff-we-like blog of their own! Or is this a big ol' racist prank? More »

Stuff Young Jews Like Means It's Officially A Meme
It's at least the fourth imitator of viral website Stuff White People Like, but Stuff Jewish Young Adults Like is actually pretty funny, in part because it's still young enough that you can read the whole site in like 15 minutes. That young jews liked "Writing for Television" and "Taking Christ's Name In Vain" I kind of figured, but "Ultimate Frisbee?" This goy had no idea. More examples: More »

Stuff White People Like's Christian Lander nails San Francisco
Blogger Christian Lander, self-appointed arbiter of Caucasian tastes, needles San Francisco's inferiority complex when it comes to New York — as a former Toronto resident, he can certainly relate. Google's algorithm suggests Chinese mail-order brides. True enough.

White People Over-Analyze Like This
Did you hear about that hot new internet blog, "Stuff White People Like"? Did someone email or GChat you a link to it? Or did many people? Chances are you either had a knowing chuckle or got all huffy about it, as those seem to be most people's responses. We've gone through the criticisms both whiny—I'm white and I'm nothing like this!—and smart—boy their definition of "white people" is offensively narrow and classist—and now we're sick of those too, even though we sort of agree with them but also are all "lay off, it's a stupid blog." There's the fucking rub: we dislike the site and are sick of everyone disliking the site. Which is why we were so excited to see that they got ten zillion dollars to turn it into a book! A book about hockey, and Miracle Whip! Except not really, because only like middle American White People like those things, see, and there's that class argument we didn't want to get into. No, this book is actually about Juno or some such bullshit.

Stuff White People Like: Ridiculous Book Deals
We give up! 'Stuff White People Like' Book Sold to Random House For At Least $350,000. You win, Internet! Great work, Random House! Oh hey, Spy legend and man white people love Kurt Andersen "has taken an active interest in it and will play a role in its development." Thanks, Kurt! The press release says the book will cover "Whole Foods, Wes Anderson, Starbucks, graduate school, kitchen gadgets, Barack Obama, Apple products, the movie Juno, expensive sandwiches, and vintage t-shirts, to name a few." Looks like white people like New York Magazine! (ALSO: Gotham Books is apparently publishing a book based on "Barack Obama is your new bicycle." Maybe some joker should make a whole album of hilarious Rick Astley songs!) [NYO] -

The Assimilated Negro: Spreading Racial Discontent Across the Internet?
"Racially charged blogs" are tearing this nation apart. We saw it on Drudge! America's next civil war is right around the corner and it's all because of Stuff White People Like, a site written by and for yuppies to gently laugh at themselves with smug self-congratulation (or alternatively to condemn the whole enterprise, like we just did—wheels within wheels, people). This alarming site is, as the Houston Chronicle puts it, merely "the latest in a string of racially charged blogs (first came theassimilatednegro.com, then angryasian.com)...." Hah. Congrats to friend of Gawker The Assimilated Negro for apparently being inadvertently responsible for the fucking "Stuff White People Like" controversy. And for embodying the "vaguely suggestive without saying anything" term "racially charged"! [Chron.com]

Stuff White People Like Is Making All Other White People Blogs Obsolete
If there is one thing white people like, it's mocking themselves. That's why Stuff White People Like is such an internet sensation. As Homer Simpson once said, "It's true. We're so lame." (And when is the Simpsons going to be on Stuff White People Like?) Now the cultural tastemakers at Men's Health are saying "Stuff a Specific Variety of Upper-Middle Class Liberal Arts Graduates Like" is the new Corporate-Casual. Aren't the editors of Men's Health being a little white-centric? (Another thing white people like.) Stuff White People Like just makes fun of white people; Corporate-Casual's misanthropy knows no racial bounds. [via Corporate-Casual]
