The SWPL guy is a South Park Republican, and he comes with the requisite sneering and scoffing at earnest and insufferable middle-class white liberals. Both of which white people like.

I hate this site/idea too, but I'm still jealous of the 300k and praying that it accidentally gets wired into my account and nobody notices. (No doubt there's a movie franchise lurking around too, i.e., I think we're in for at least five more years.)

The guy who wrote the "grups" piece has an opinion on this? I'm sorry, but that's just not allowed.

@myboxsmellslikebutterscotch: ditto. this is a sour grapes post says I.

The site is funny, and true (although I did like the Black People Love Me site better)-- admittedly it mostly concerns a certain educated, higher income bracket of white peeps. But isn't that the stereotype of how most whites live anyway?

@myboxsmellslikebutterscotch: Yes, but Gawker caters to hipster micro-humor, whereas your comment -- oh, never mind. I give up.

I can't think of one thing un-true in the Stuff White People Like Blog. Hilarious. It proves you can blog about anything. Like Sbux.

Alex, I don't understand why you protest this site so much and have taken it upon yourself to trash it. It's funny. Is it Lenny Bruce funny? No, but it's funny. Since you let out an "I give up" cry on your post about the book deal, it makes me think that all of your angst is born out of jealousy? Not everyone shares your hipster micro-humor. Get over it.

Pareene, stay away from hockey. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Other stuff that white people like: Complaining that they're sick to death of the over-analysis of an internet phenomenon, then conducting a meta-analysis of the analyses and thereby contributing to the over-analysis.

well, as an upper-middle class white male with a recent graduate degree, I have to say the site is spot on. Sure the reasoning/writing is sometimes faulty, but the items on the list are definitely things my friends and I like. Though I think they are missing brunch, bluegrass music, and appropriating others cultures.

When I first saw that NY Times article about organic farming with the Brooklyn douchebag in the fuzzy hat and the lead "THEIR Carhartts are no longer ironic." earlier this week I rolled my eyes so hard that they almost fell out of their sockets, so it made me smile to see it getting mocked by SWPL. Someone's gotta do it.

I'll give you five dollars for that autographed baseball card. But I would prefer it it were Jackie Robinson.

Gary's the man! Precisely the sort afro-netizen Gawker needs to get down with. John Lee too.

The Root, however, is some milquetoast shit. Skip Gates don't know jack about the interwebs.

@SoftBeadySuedeShoes: i've got my fingers crossed that this centennial year is the one for those of us bleeding cubbie blue. and i completely agree. if/when the cubs win the WS, the ensuing week is gonna make the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 look like a weenie roast.

In all fairness, www.stuffbelovedoforatleastrecognizedaspopul...(possiblyevenaboutblogging!).com is a really long URL and/or book title.

How do I bid on the baseball card? I don't see a link for that.

And, by "middle America" do you mean the Midwest? Because I know up-state NYers are way bigger hockey fanatics than us fly-overs.
