Stuff White People Like 
man, what an article.
so many topics
lol lots of topics for me!
– http://www.anythingblack.net
Thats crazy how all those topics relate back to your site – you know white people better than I know myself 😦 TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE! 🙂
– http://www.anythingblack.net
hell yes mcsweeney’s!
Thank god for The New York Times. Who else is out there covering rich, white, privileged young people so that future generations will know how they lived?
Only in the New York Times . . .
Half your list of Stuff White People Like made it into that article. If that’s not skills, I don’t know what is.

ULTIMATE GOOF
I just checked your blog while watching The Real Housewives of New York City. It was a double whammy of whiteness! I can’t even begin to list the white stuff mentioned and filmed on that show. I’m going to do it again next week, lol. In fact, I think I’ll make SWPL and RHONYC and standing Tuesday night date 🙂
I like Sanfrookltyn!
http://IGotUGGs.com
stuff i hate: copycats plugging their ripoff blogs in a comment.
Some of us don’t plug ripoff blogs!
http://www.michaelmorgan.co.uk
did they write that article on purpose just to get into this blog? i know their circulation is dwindling, but c’mon. really?
Could it be that most of the white people who love writer’s workshops are in fact not writers at all..but just need something to do? Questions, questions.
If there is anything that is a clue:
Jews are not WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do Jews continue to troll here???????????
The majority of the “housewives” are jews, NOT WHITE!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!! have all Whites become jewified?
Tim: wake up
noam cohen = 10-inch bicep jewbag
Stop calling jewdom, “white” it’s a disgrace!!
Re: the illustration– are those the “eleven long-haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse microbus” that C. W. McCall sang about in the 1970s?

Fuck off jewbag. Ashkenazi jews are the world’s most inbred.
Shtetl jew in the wedding scene in “Fiddler”!!!
Totally inbreds!!! LOL!!!
NOAM COHEN IS A “SEMITE”, not White.
Thank you very much.
Start a jew blog, this is titled SWPL. Semites are NOT White.
Thanks.
The sense of superiority in the story was awe inspiring 😀
Jew insults getting sort or dull…
Great post!

EVE LEVINE, a 34-year-old real estate broker, recalls fondly
This is jew. This is NOT WHITE.
Professor Richard Florida should be on a list of stuff reporters who write for white people like.
It an insult to call Whites “jews”.
Whites do not want to be considered in the same realm as jews. Thanks.
Noam Cohen is not White.
I dare that guy to link a photo of himself, so that the world can see.
Oh man, Jews trying to pass as White is one of the worst things Whites have to live with.
Have you done a SWPL on living in converted warehouse spaces? That popped up in the first few lines of this article.
For everyone arguing about whether Jews qualify as white people – since I think this blog may actually be focusing on a set of character and lifestyle traits, for the purposes of this forum Jews might as well be considered super-white. They certainly drink a lot of bottled water and talk about architecture – and in addition to having gay friends, many have gay relatives, which is a total bragging point.
An article about “Eve Levine” is NOT ABOUT WHITES.
‘Jew insults getting sort or dull…’
they’re not real. they never are. kerri dunn was given time on the computer at the cellblock library here at the pen—
http://www.knbc.com/education/3998600/detail.html
Bullshit. Jews may want to be White, or seen as White, but they can never be.
Noam Cohen is trying too hard. Let’s see a photo of this semite! Jews are the “anti-White”.
christian: what about tropical lifestyle that we’ve discussed? hehe..
JEWBAG:

“Michael Machemer, the manager in Brooklyn, said the San Francisco and Long Island surfing cultures had similarities. “In San Francisco, the weather is cloudy, cold, gray,” he said. “It’s the same here.”
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fag.
Idiot.
He lives in an idiot world.
Mr. Florida, who is a business professor at Toronto University, is sympathetic. “I don’t want to blame the hipsters,” he said. “They are searching for places that are real and authentic. Many are isolated, many are alone.
How is that “White”? It isn’t.
The Whites that live this life are the LOSER Whites, that have no families, that have nothing to stand for. They are adrift.
“What I see as the reason for so many NYers having come to the Bay, and so many Bay folk moving to Bklyn (tens of thousands literally),” he wrote in an e-mail message, “is that each group has become accustomed to the alienation or perceived impossibility of staying where they are.”
Translation: LOSERS.
Above: you are White.
Good post. Thank you for showing up amongst so many non-Whites.
Is this guy “Valentin” a hetero? or a homo?
If he is Italian, then based on this blog, he is a pussy version of one.
Onore al Duce!
Italy loves “children”, not homos. Got it?
How many Xavierian HS people move to “Oakland”?
Like none.
This blog doesn’t represent Whites, it represents narrow-minded losers trying to flee reality!
How many Bellarmine grads move to Williamsburg to live around fundamentalist-bigot jews?
Like none.
This “cohen” article is pure BS!!!!!!!!!!
how many non-white jews are going to cry reading the above?
ha ha …semites, nothing can make you White.
Damn stop spewing your fathers hate. Jewish people are usually from the caucasian ethnicity, though they do have jewish africans, and jewish chinese, and jewish indians, etc. Pick up a few books and read, o wait sorry books are “jewified”, or look up the jewish religion and its history online…o wait the internet is “jewified” too. Im guessing you have little education, GED at most, or your possibly in your earily teens, whose father likes to blame “the man”, for the tragic U.S economy, but for him the man is jewish because his preconceived view of jews if that they are wealthy and thus play a huge part in the U.S economy, well im sorry to tell you sir, but you cannot blame one small group of people for your problems. And your comments have NOTHING to do with who you are responding too, your shock value with hatred is old, weak, and ignorant. I suggest you stop frying ants with a magnifying glass (so you can feel superior) and you start reading (if you can) highly credible books so hopefully one day you willbe a productive person in American society.
If being “White” is being like you, then I doubt anyone would want to be white, except for maybe some Nazis in Alabama. You gives whites a bad bad name. Maybe thats your point….your probably racist against white people, and by claiming your white and making dumb comments, you will think that you can get people to hate white people! Im sure your latin, or black, or indian, or asian etc background doesnt approve of racism. While white people, like all other people, have some problems, you shouldnt hate them, or try to get people to hate them, everyone is different and unique, and I feel bad for you if you were hurt by a white person, but you must understand thats just one person, and for every one bad person, there it one million good people.
Whites in “Alabama” are far less inbred than are the Ashkenazi Jews. Have you never picked up a biology texbook?!! Nice try. I love it!!! All one has to do is look at a Jew’s weird facial quirks to see the inbreeding!!!!!!
Im sure your latin, or black, or indian, or asian etc background doesnt approve of racism.
You fool. Bill Richardson just endorsed Obama in Spanglish last wee. Funny to see Clinton and Edwards get foisted on their own petard. They spent their lives sucking up to anti-White racist assholes, and see how they repaid??? Bwahahahahahaaaa, too bad Hillary and Biden, and Dodd and Edwards…you spent your sorry ass lives kissing non-white ass, and see how the racists repay you suckers!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure the Jewish people are very nice, but does the New York Times have any White writers?
This is the third consecutive “Jews talking about white people” article from the NYT written by a Jew, and a Cohenim, no less.
It’s well documented that Jews have significantly different interests and values than White People.
I guess if I wanted to read a Jewish newspaper I’d buy the Jerusalem Post.
More White People than Jews buy the NYT and I think the ownership should take greater care to ensure the writing is appropriate for White People.
Nothing in your rant above has convinced us that jews are “White”.
Sorry. Do you honestly think noam cohen” identifies as White?
You must have a below average educational level.
hrhkat,
these kind of ignorant, hateful, idiots will never change their ways. I hear anti-semitism all around me, and when I can I get in their face. I realize it changes nothing because they are nothing.
I’m trying to feel compassion for these morons and their skewed sense of the world. It’s tough, though.
Blogs are kind of sick w/ all the racism and anonomity…I should stick to the BBC site. At least the people there have a college education.
The best revenge is living well!
Peace.
Clander: PLEASE kill this thread. There is nothing here besides some nasty anti-Semitism.
This could have been an interesting thread given the article – which I must admit as a 5th generation Californian struck me as thoroughly incongruous — no native San Franciscan would ever even think of (in Herb Caen’s phrase) Baghdad by the Bay (or the Paris of the West, if you prefer) as even being in the same universe as Brooklyn (whose claim to fame was the much despised Dodgers, and even they found LA more congenial….)
thats what it do
– http://www.anythinblack.net
Nope. Not a fan of Florida: reductive, seductive, and cliched.
Better minds are out there who demand a bit mre WORK from the listener/reader. Florida is paplum for the preening ‘popular’, a ‘sound bite’ dud if there ever was one, and NOT what ‘Serious Fun’ WHITE people like …
Thought this was SWPL if I wanted to to listen to a bunch of goofs bashing jews I would go to WPBJ.
Lets all try and have some laffs thats right laffs.
Thank you for making me sing ‘Convoy’ for days.
I’m a blue-eyed jew.
Sweet, sweet validation………….
Yes, of course, beautiful women like Natalie Portman, Rachel Bilson, Neve Campbell, Yasmine Bleeth, and Amanda Bynes are “trying to pass of as white.” I bet it takes them hours in the morning to cover up the horns on their heads lest the “world can see” their jew-ness. All the anti-semitic rants on this blog are truly unbelievable in today’s day and age.
I love your website. My husband and I are aging boomers who think boomers suck.
When we see something like the mentioned NYT article , our new phrase is ‘that’s so-o-o-o white!!’
Ignoring the obvious problem with this thread, there’s another great topic in this article: DIY.
http://detentionslip.org. The site sweeping the nation right now informing readers about all the crazy news in public schools every day.
Check out http://detentionslip.org. The site is sweeping the nation right now informing readers about all the crazy news in public schools every day.
Yeah….. this article is really white…..
Does that mean Jesus ain’t white either?
Any Brazilians reading this site? If so, check out http://www.escrevalolaescreva.blogspot.com
It’s about a bunch of things this white woman likes…
I realize that by this time the point is moot, but was there some kind of mass stupid pill ingestion this morning? It’s absolutely offensive; not in a racial context, not even in a religious context(news flash: “Jew” is a reference to a religious group, not a racial one) but in the context of comedy and good natured satire, that anyone would post a comment here that so deliberately detracts from the quality of this blog.
I implore you to take your prejudice somewhere it will be appreciated, like a klan rally, and let the rest of us just enjoy the damn article. And to those of you who tried to shed some enlightenment on the horribly deluded anti-semites; you are being baited into an utterly futile argument.
So, let’s everybody take a cue (albeit paraphrased) from the old cliche. If you can’t say anything nice (or productive), shut your derisive trap.
Thanks
I HATE DAVE EGGERS!!! That fucking book Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius was the most stomach churning piece of crap I’ve ever read.
This should have been a Target post.
McCain hates McSweeney’s.
Hmmm, while that article was a virtual bonanza of Stuff, it was unreadable. Blah, blah, blah, people that need a hobby, blah, blah, blah. But hey, you guys should have seen my dog last night, so friggin cute.
“Home Buying for Hipsters”
That phrase made me throw up in my mouth a little this morning. The foot soldiers of gentrification, I swear…

Dear Clander,
Please add this to your List: Bumperstickers. White people love all kinds of bumperstickers, allowing them to generate greater public awareness about their unique individuality.
I can’t believe no one mentioned the double-meta whiteness of this article:
This article ran right next to an article about stuffwhitepeoplelike.com!
And yes, I was reading the Sunday NY Times while drinking free trade coffee in my gay neighborhood while someone handed me a flyer for a new yoga studio.

A very critical article about Richard Florida suggests that if anyone other than himself runs the data, the correlations are not there. We don’t even need to go into the correlation is not sufficient to establish causality argument.
Pseudo-science at best … and we know who loves this ….
Uh, if Italy loves children, why does Italy have the lowest birthrate in the world with the possible exception of Spain?
And if Italy is so hetero, why is the country famous among patrons of sex-workers for having nothing but transvestite prostitutes; so much so that Italian men are prominent as customers of female prostitutes in other countries renowned for their female prostitutes, such as Cuba?
Jewish people look pretty white to me (compared to Asians, Indians, Mexicans, etc.). My in-laws are Jewish and they hold pretty close to most of the items on this list. What does it matter if it’s not a “true” white person. What does that even mean? If you look white, you are treated white, and thus, you are white.
That article was the whitest thing I’ve read yet. Now that the term hipster has been so thoroughly ruined by the NYT, and pop culture in general, I’ll refrain from using it, even as a means to insult someone. It’s over. As I’m feeling this blog is probably over. If only I could help wanting to read it!
I don’t like the guy either but wouldn’t that be Dr. Richard Florida (not Mr.)? Also, it’s the Rotman School of Business at the University of Toronto (not Toronto University).
He used to be at Carnegie Mellon. I guess he didn’t get tenure there.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d kill a few people to be at either U of T or CMU but I just had to point out that U of T is generally ranked lower than CMU.
dude, who doesn’t want to make money?
The part I thought was weird is how NY-centric that sounded. Portland is a pretty happening business and lifestyle hub with big brands headquartered there.
I read it at a localvore restaurant right before going to a movie at an independent theatre that the neighbourhood saved from the developers. Really.
Let’s keep Portland off of this blog. We need to keep under the radar. Talk about white mecca.
You need a post about Portland. Srrsly. Urban planning, outdoors, indie rock, microbreweries, etc. Xanadu. Even if everyone has to work at a Starbucks because there’s no economy.
You always manage to find an article that causes quite a debate. Great job!

“D.I.Y. can mean everything from wearing locally designed T-shirts to attending concerts staged in someone’s warehouse apartment, to riding a bike to work.”
Now that takes DYI to an new white hipster level.
I’m pretty sure the wrong kind of white people consider Oakland part of San Francisco.
jesus fucking christ. where did all the anti-semitic hate come from? this is disgusting.

Yeah you’d think it’s like Stormfront’s favorite blog or something. How ironic that would be.
This is so white.

Make no mistake: Jews in Williamsburg/Park Slope/San Francisco are WHITE, assuming they’re not religious in any way (most aren’t). Sorry, secular Jews, SWPL applies to you above all.
You forgot IKEA!

Dear owner of SWPL, don’t you think it’s time you started to moderate your comments so that every single one of us will not have to feel we have waded into a cesspool of inbred, white trash losers?
I will not come back here again until these racist dimwits are gone. I’m sure I am not the only one.
Great article, also, just ignore the comments peachhipgirl
Yes! Facebook! Can’t wait to see a post about it. It’s such a white people addiction.
I’M a blue eyed jew! anti-semitism is for ugly people.
christian lander would never be anti-semitic. follow his example.
jesus you hit the motherload…
in regards to the whole semite vs anti-semite debacle occuring above… I’m pretty sure I actually already commented this ON THIS SITE, but… Canadians are the Jews of the North. Christian Lander and the Jews probs hit it off like whoa (I KNOW how awesome that sentence was). Ummmm…. I love christian lander. and canadians. and jews.
was this article really necessary? i mean, COME ON, ny times…
i LOVE this series of posts that link to ny times articles and tags them with items listed here. high 5!!!
Your blog is great . . . but I don’t understand the purpose of this White People in the News thing. All your articles from the New York Times. As White folk, don’t we already read the NYT?
The funniest thing about the article is that its really about nothing, not about anything at all, but exist only to name check dozens of white/hip/urban items. That article was written for this blog.
It’s like their stupid 36 hours in some city series.
Why are people using the comment space to argue whether Jewish people are white are not? Stop being such overly serious crazy people and just enjoy the blog. Jeez.
Yawn. Are we actually going to get a good article for once? There’s been nothing but crap since the book deal. Just shut the blog down if it’s not going to be funny or interesting anymore.
Topics:
Book clubs
Ikea
Greeting Cards
Mix CDs
Adopting anything- children/pets
Facebook and McSweeney’s? Something tells me I am going to feel very stereotyped very soon.
i’d like to note that i first heard about this blog on facebook and proceeded to exclaim “facebook is for white people!”
other stuff white people like:
the movie Friday (and the soundtrack – they all own it)
extreme sports
hating racial/ethnic humor (e.g. making fun of your ethnic mom’s accent — they think it’s offensive and/or not clever, but really they just don’t get it and can’t relate so it must suck)
All my friends have migrated to facebook, but I still prefer myspace. I suppose that makes me trashy!
Kids in PA are being held hostage by the administration for a rash of bomb threats!

I love the blog and I am also a little annoyed that people are taking discussion of this article in this who’s a Jew/who’s white direction.
But I will say that, if I’m not mistaken, Judaism is a religion, not a race. And for those people who cry anti-semitism. Semites represent a language group that became interwoven with particular cultures and ethnicities which include people from the Middle East and North Africa (not just Jews aka Arab people and others). Semitic languages include (a lot are extinct) Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic. So calling someone anti-semetic in regards to Jews seems to require a very selective definition of semite.
People who say Jews are not white, seem mistaken to me. What you should say is that Jews are represented by by all types of cultures, races, and ethnicities. Yeah, Jews aren’t white, they’re not particularly any racial group…it’s just a religious belief.
That’s like me meeting someone who is Buddhist and automatically assuming that their either Asian or some race of people called “Buddhists”
more stuff white people like

I read this article on Sunday! So funny!
http://www.marriageconfessions.wordpress.com
very true…this article mentioned a lot of things on this blog without actually talking about any news-worthy subject in depth.
i mean, what about home buying for hipsters? i want to know more about that.
same for the aforementioned hipster DIY movement.
NYTimes writers must be having a contest to see who can get the most SWPL references in one article and make this site. seriously.
The reason this hit list is so long is because this denomination of whitey is the only group that really viably fits the bill for this website’s idea of white culture.
i’d like to see an article about privilege. more than often this type of hipster chooses these neighborhoods, while other diversity groups may choose it but have less attractive options available on the whole. i’m glad i am not one of the people living in one of these areas, even though my aesthetic and intellectual, even professional life, might dictate it as a popular or likely option.
What is up with Asian Sideburns?
http://theplasticspoon.blogs.com
I’m black, but according to this site, I am actually white. Now what do I do?
This NYT comes dangerously close to self-parody. With only the slightest tweak here & there it could easily be an ONION article.
Unfortunately there is little to be said about it once you read it. It speaks for its selve.
Like the playground runt that disarms the bully with humor there is nothing left to pick on.
Hey NAZI troll, go back under the rock you crawled out from under.

Have you ever seen a dumb jew?
White people also love Ikea! another post opportunity that was mentioned here.
Nobody in SF calls their neighborhood the ‘Brooklyn of San Francisco’ – that’s the NY Times spin on things. refer back to the post in this blog on San Francisco – we SFers are just a wee bit defensive about NY, never invite parallels of that type.
You may be whiter than you think. Most American Boyers are from either the French Canadian clan, or an unrelated Pennsylvania Dutch family. Mine were the former; they were among the first settlers of Detroit. Whence come your Boyers?

Stuff ignorant bloggers like: mistaking an economic demographic for a racial demographic.
Ask yourself what would Christian Lander do (WWCLD)?
white people like name dropping. kinda relates to a lot of stuff – films, bands, art.
it’s not a picture, it’s a picasso
it’s not a movie, it’s by blah

i am pretty white, though not as white as i once was. maybe that’s a white thing too – growing up out of all that crap.
love the blog!
p
hey, christian, you can’t take credit for stuff that doesn’t even appear! i see no mention of the prius in the article, or any cars at all for that matter.
Just a couple of suggestions.
Graphic Novels
Blogging
The Simpsons
The Family Guy
No doubt these have all been proposed by hordes of white people already, and I am fully living up to your expectations by suggesting them.
Another few…
10 year fashion cycles (ie. how many bands do you still listen to from 10 years ago?)
Superheroes (I’m a victim of this one)
Harry Potter as accessible lit (because it’s British, and yes, I am a fan)
Russian authors (just say you’ve read Russians and people think you’re smarter)
Salon.com (offshoot of NPR, I suppose)
Blogging (duh)
couple=several
Ooh, another one!

WATCH MY REAR END NOT HERS
Sometimes I wish Stormfront could rent out a beer hall to hold a Putsch in! Of course it would be an inter-squad game. Afterwards all twelve of them minus those sidelined with Putsch injuries could retreat to a local park for a game of flag football.
There is a cautionary tale to be abstracted from your incisive observation for the Nazi contributors. Identity is in the eye of the beholder.
Jewish Africans or Jewish blacks?
Big difference.
Per Michael Lerner: “Jews have been the primary ‘Other,’ have been socially and legally discriminated against, have been the subject of racism and genocide, and in those terms Jews are not white.”
Canadians = “Jews of the North”.
Funniest thing I’ve read. Ever.
Memo to Lander: Lander, see what happens when you try to play substitute teacher? All the kids run wild like a bunch of loathsome little Nazis, tie you up and piss all over you.
Mr. Cohen’s New York Times “Lifestyle” article is as dull as dust. In fairness no one comments on it because there is no there there.
You’re in a slump and batting zero. Maybe it’s writer’s block. Maybe you’ve run out of material. Maybe what material you have you are hoarding for your book Time to move on. Thanks for the laughs.
“I don’t want to blame the hipsters,” he said. “They are searching for places that are real and authentic. Many are isolated, many are alone.
Ha — they want to be nonconformists just like everyone else.
Bike messengers should have their own entry in this blog, btw. Try asking one of them how tough they are. Just try it.
ur an asshole
I read the whole article and just overdosed on White People.
can’t figure out if i really like your blog or not
The next topic should be …”Leaving disapproving comments on Stuff White People like.” White people will often do this to show their friends — and the internet — that they are not racist and are too mature and cultured to enjoy this type of humor. Then follow it up with some actual comments.
Please do the McSweeneys topic next. I think most of the audience knows what facebook is, with this being a website and all. I, however, have never heard of McSweeneys.
Congratulations on the new world record!!
…following your logic, there shouldn’t be any writers (at the NYT) of any ethnicity other than white, “to ensure the writing is appropriate for White People”
From that follows that each ethnicity would have their own media.
And who would be in charge of determining whether the “writing” is ethnically “appropriate”?
Do information and news have an ethnicity?
THANK YOU!
Perhaps we should all tolerate some good natured ‘dissing of each other’s opinions while giving people the benefit of the doubt that they are calling it the way they see it. There is nothing desirable about unanimous approval.
CONGRATULATION from
blogrank.info for the hot post
Jesus wasn’t black. He had no suntan lotion.
LOL white people are great. Or should I say evil. I would not want to sound like a racest. LOL
I want to see how CLander finesses the Jew talk in his book. Does Random house know what they bought into?
I do agree that SWPL.com really only deals with one subculture, which includes some Jews. I do not see many Orthodox Jews riding fixies in BillyBurg, even though they live there.
going back to the if Jewish people are white. I find it kinda funny considering that the majority of jews want to push the agenda that they are white or better yet, that they are the better white people. But, if one questions the government and actions of Israel, then they want to return to the argument that they are semitic people and that the person who raises the question of the state of Israel or Jewishness in general, then the label of being anti-semitic becomes the argument of discussion.
Personally, I find this “wanting to be white” to occur in many different ethnic groups, particularly with Armenians, people from the middle east, north Africa and some Asian Americans. In turn, they all are avoiding being near or closely related to being black. Jews are white when it comes to doing business, living in the community, television shows, news programs, etc. Jews are not white, when anyone brings up the liberal discussion of the plight of Palestinians or Arabs.
PeachHipGirl is right, it IS time to censor this thing. With the number of hits this site has, you must be able to afford to, and you have a certain responsibility to do so, and the site has a certain need to do so to maintain its own legitimacy. The worst thing about the internet is that it is two-way, frankly. In the past, no one had to listen to the “usual gang of idiots.” And now that we can, we know why things were a wee bit more civil back when there were three networks and one phone company.
oh god that illustration alone was enough to make me cringe, but when I read “Home Buying for Hipsters,” well, that just made me puke, for a variety of reasons. Love your blog. Love it love it love it. White People in the News installments are a really great a addition.
Plenty!! Need a list? Spitzer is the latest one.
I’d say the rabbi is right. It is Jews themselves that tell people they are a minority group. Therefore they cannot be White.
Natalie Portman isn’t White!! She’s not even above average looking, btw.
If some Palestinian was trying pass himself off as a Jew, I bet jewgirl and all her cousins would object to it. They’d gladly expose the fraud. So, what’s the difference if Whites want to do the same thing and make facts clear? Why do you object to facts? That is what pseudo-intellectuals do, they are lazy with the facts.
If Jews weren’t running around acting like they are White, and speak for Whites like this Noam Cohen-type, nobody would need to make these responses.
Liberator: You are joking, right?
Anti-White racism is for ugly people, that’s why so many jewish bigots have bizarre facial quirks. Bigots like Dan Savage, Bill Maher, and a list so long that it’d take pages.
You need to get a life. Try being honest for one day of your life.
Whoever said Jesus was White anyway? Christianity is a Semitic religion, nobody disputes that.
Oh, to be Jung again!
If you think this article is the “Whitest thing” then you’ve been jewified by your wife beyond all hope.
Here again, we have a so-called expert on “Whites” mouthing off, yet he isn’t even married to one. Hilarious!!!
CONGRATULATIONS from
blogrank.info for the hot blog
Wow congragulations you are so lucky to get a book deal. This will probably be like a truely awesome book I know it.
– http://wweadam.com
LOL!!!!!! If that were true, it sure would bump up the actual “White” readership. That is totally ironic, since the most White people of them all aren’t considered “white” by the non-whites and jews that populate this blog!!!
Kinda like someone saying “racist” “knuckle-dragger” Likudist Jews aren’t “jewish” and don’t stand for true jewishness.
Ludicrous.
If you are anti-White (which probably 85% of jews are based on their politics etc.), then you cannot be White! Duh!!!!
The ashenazi jews are far more inbred than are Southern Whites. Have you ever looked at Ben Stein? Harry Kissinger? Melissa Rivers?
I think this all started because we’ve had too many non-white jews writing and, I guess, speaking for Whites. Like this guy noam cohen, etc.
Whites don’t like to be misrepresented by imposters. Who would like that? You don’t see Whites going around telling jews what it falsely means to be jewish, do you?
It is the Jews themselves that claim to be a minority group. This is not based upon religion, but race.
Otherwise every religion would/could do the same thing, but they cannot, because minority status is based on race.
I think we’ve really proved it now. The Nazis aren’t “White”, but this group of some whites and many of non-Whites is!!!
I see. Hmmm…….
I have some Muslim friends in Toronto that might be offended by that!
Mr. Cohen’s New York Times “Lifestyle” article is as dull as dust.
BINGO!!!!!!!!!
That’s the whole point. When the blog starts refering to what non-Whites and Jews think, then it ceases to be SWPL, and no Whites identify with it.
I think that was the original criticism. It’s getting to be S(non)WPL.
Excellent comment. Of course the pseudo-intellectuals won’t actually address your points, but use that time-honored tradition: calling you some sort of slur.
Ashkenazi are far more inbred than are Southern Whites, sorry….can’t use that one!
we know why things were a wee bit more civil back when there were three networks and one phone company.
Listen to Joseph Stalin here. What do you do? Work for the israeli censorship board?
Sorry, but here in America we believe in Liberty, not communism or totalitarianism.
My favorite troglodytes in history were the Essenes.
Henry Kissinger
OMG!! Totally inbred!!
Compared to Jeff Foxworthy? I mean just look at them to see just who is inbred.
The best revenge is having an education and free mind, and living well like Whites do! tamblu, guys like you just get incensed when someone doesn’t agree with your quirky ideology. Travel the world a bit, you’ll see you are in the minority.
Hey!!!
I’m European.
I’m Muslim
I’m Christian
I’m a right-winger
I’m a leftist
I’m an Arab
Im a Persian
I’m a Russian
I’m a racist asian.
I’m Jimmy Carter
I’m a “marrano-hating” Latino
I’m Black
Guess what? Depending on what day it is, somewhere in the world, a Jew will be calling me guess what? “anti-semitic”!!!
Just who isn’t slurred as such these days? I think the list includes only Neocons and Christian Armageddonists.
How about the wedding scene bottle dance in Fiddler? Unforgettable!!
Such class!!!! Nah, there was no inbreeding in the shtetls, nor sir.
Richard “Florida”?
Who has a last name like that? and we know who loves to change last names….use pseudo-science…..fit the data to the pre-determined anti-White thesis (Franz Boas, etc.).
Don’t you just love these anti-Seismic comments appearing all over this blog the past few weeks?
Well, April fool! April fool!
They’re all by me,
Hymie the homo!
Betcha thought they were real.
So, the jew-arse kissing Christian Right are now the “right kind of Whites”?!!!
most abusive physical violence in schools is done by Blacks, not Whites or nazis. LOL!!!!! get real.
Richard Florida, the author of “The Rise of the Creative Class,” which argues that urban renewal is sparked by high concentrations of high-tech workers, artists, gay men and lesbians
I disagree. I think FIRE (aka Finance, Insurance, Real Estate) types are what really move an economy ahead. Manhattan, Chicago, etc are what they are because of money and finance, not “lesbians” or “artists”.
PS I know that many weasels here ain’t gonna admit it, but the fastest growing places are:
Dallas F. Worth
Houston
Vegas
Phoenix
Atlanta
These are not exactly hotbeds for jews, lesbians, and homos.
San Francisco, the City itself, is really basically dead compared to what’s going on in Houston on grand scale. Sorry folks.
It doesn’t take much to find a jew making anti-White and anti-Christian comments either. Just turn on the television and watch your typical jewish-scripted sitcom.
Sarah Silverman insults Whites just about every time she opens her mouth.
“He added that the populations drawn to both areas by alternative art and music scenes, and by a tolerance for diversity, were looking for a ‘messy urbanism, a clash of different styles that Brooklyn still retains, that the East Bay still retains.'”
So, so white.
So FIRE is preferable to ARSON– Artists, Restaurateurs, Stage actors and Other Neurotics?
Yes, but Florida was referring to American cities, not Mexican cities like the ones you list.
White people like to make sellout accusations. Or at least say that “the quality went down”
Move ahead…?
and get bailed out by the Big Nanny G when fall & go BUST…
Well you pretty much prove the ‘nazis’ are right about it all:
Our cities are either “mexican” or “jew/lesbian/homo”. And people wonder why the economy and the dollar are sinking?
Turning the USA into another Brazil isn’t going to help the economy, I assure you. Can’t wait until the US debt is rated like Brazil’s
The more White a country is, the better its economy. They are correlated and any statistician can show that easily.
It’s nonsense. The growth and jobs are in the Financial District and the suburban office clusters along I-680, Hwy 101, etc.
It’s ludicrous to talk about artists, lesbians and unemployed black activists, etc.
You forgot Hooterville…
There are loads of Jews in Hooterville. Arnold likes watching Jews on TV
Mr. Florida, who is a business professor at Toronto University, is sympathetic. “I don’t want to blame the hipsters,” he said.
“They are searching for places that are real and authentic. Many are isolated, many are alone.

I still don’t get how Jewish people aren’t white. Granted, there are African Jews, or Jews from the Middle East, but…
Bob Dylan
As I mentioned last night, the green vehicle on the left may be the “eleven long-haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse microbus” in the song “Convoy”.
Wouldn’t that make the orangey vehicle on the right the “Big Yellow Taxi” that “paved paradise and put up a parking lot”?
Invoking the ghostly specter of “white privilege” against the Wrong Kind of White People is definitely, DEFINITELY SWPL. Don’t y’all ever hang around lefty forums populated by clueless, young, earnest white “anti-racist activists?
It’s good for a laugh on a slow weekend.
And by this blog’s definition, urban Ashkenazi Jews are doubtless “whiter” than my Swedish grandma. Who cares? What’s a little petty theft?
Ashkenazi name change alert!!
Robert Zimmerman
Hey man,nice article.
And by this blog’s definition, urban Ashkenazi Jews are doubtless “whiter” than my Swedish grandma

Har, what a great blog! Cultural criticism is such a hoot. I eagerly anticipate the sister blog, “Stuff Black People Like”
http://plablognox.blogspot.com/
This upstart blog is navigating unchartered waters in the realms of political commentary, art & literary criticism, and confessional blogging.
Yeah, Portland is breath of fresh air after ten years of Brooklyn.
Whitest skinned soul I ever knowed was a Jewess… skin as fine & smooth & translucent as the Precious Moments(tm) figurines I seen on the mantle in White Folks homes…. I would sneak into her garden at night when Daddy’d gone to bed… she come to me like a vision in white…. her pale, unveined skin shone in the moonlight… glowing with the need inside her…
My god, i c that there is a Mr. Bear on here. Excellent.
Perhaps he or others would like to join another organization,
http://SternBears.com
“Rarrr!”
Wow. This blog has turned into a troll magnet. Time for moderation.
I read this in the Sunday NYT and immediately thought “this should be on Stuff White People Like”. Lo and behold…
You know you’re really white when you can predict what stuff white people will like.
White people like vogue photographer Annie Leibovitz’s are also in the news…
http://westofwabansia.wordpress.com/
White people love living in lofts and old warehouses.
All I can do is laugh!
oooooooh new catch phrase who’s making bracelets
jewish people don’t dislike white people? you might be retarded.
I Brake for Christian Lander
This is literally the whitest article ever written. There should be some sort of annual award for the Whitest Article of the Year.
Wow.
I need to go drink some coffee and eat an expensive sandwich now.
big whitey in the news again!
holy cow you’re kidding me
Is Hattie saying she’s a troll?
Just wondering, is posting as “Anonymous” an online version of a KKK hood?
I wasn’t even able to get through all of this article, it was so damn smelly. Christ, some white people really do suck donkey cock.
Nice try, Steve, but the residents of the above cities are nouveau white. Never mind. Lander’s satire depends on thin slicing.
At last a post by a professor of ancient pop history. Kudos on your erudition.

Your site sucks.

They always have, my douche bag friend.
i’m so glad that mcsweeney’s is finally going to be on the list. it’s been a long time coming. it’s the official “underground” literary publication for pretentious, openly “well-read”, hipster literati.
Fun loving hate is what this site is all about!
a mind is a terrible thing to waste…
All these articles and extra postings and links are watering down the site. My only real interest in coming to the site is reading a post on a single subject and hoping that you’ve written it in a funny enough way that it will make me laugh out loud.
I’m not interested in the actual substance of the ‘white people’ concept, which you seem to be trying to capitalize on with all this extra garbage. Nor do I think most people really believe in the integrity or novelty of that concept.
What’s funny is how you make fun of things in our lives and point out the hilarious and painful truths about 20-30 something educated middle class people. You should stick to that and your original, straightforward format (1 post every few days).

You certainly ARE the wrong kind of white person – for real. Thanks.
People are too obssesed with racial make up. Not matter what genetics your made up from it’s not going to make a difference to how you act and what beliefs you have. For an example their are blacks who live white culture and their whites who live black culture. Because your a certain race or religion “Jews” doesn’t mean the whole race/religion are going to act and think the same way. Everyone is different, and you can tell that from all the various comments on here. Theirs always someone on here whos going to contradict you or prove you wrong. You can never pin point the behaviour of a race or relgion because things change.
People need to start using their brains to create somthing meaningful and not leaving bigest,racial,wasted,inaccurate,onesided,ignoranrt, completely worthless and pointless words on here. What a waste of time hey?
But all this is, is an opinion of yet another person, so theirfore just as pointless as the rest of your comments
Damn. That may be the whitest article I have ever read. Nice find!
I agree.
A person had a link to this in their comments for one of the numbered items & I read it then.
That is probably the best way of getting NYT articles like this to interested readers of the blog.
Jews are Semites, therefore not White. Their language is Afro-Asiatic, not Indo-European. They tell others themselves that they are a minority group. They say Israel is theirs because that’s where they are from. 85% of American jews support anti-White politics and academic movements. If you support anti-White ideology how can you be White? Most jews in the media are anti-White and anti-Christian (think Sarah Silverman). jews support open borders and mass immigration into only Whites countries, but prohibit it in their (racist) Israel.
Come on. Do all liberal Whites lack basic instinct and common sense?
Need more?
Is this site Zionazi?
Yeah, I bet she had fangs and was afraid of garlic!!
You can have your opinion, but the Whites think this NY Times article by noam cohen describes urban Askhenazi jews moreso than Whites. Sorry.
People are too obssesed with racial make up. Not matter what genetics your made up from it’s not going to make a difference to how you act and what beliefs you have.
Ummm, that comment totally flies in the face of the very purpose of this blog!
I’m all for that too. I don’t think NY Times reporter Noam Cohen is an expert on Whites in the slightest.
Yep. I think a jewish ‘moderator’ and imprimatur on “Stuff White People Like” is exactly what is needed. LOL!!!!!!
That’d be the American way, for sure. Lonely liberal Whites seem to prefer their lives structured like that.
White people love that completly stupid movie: “Saturday night fever”….
I’m white, but I could never manage to watch that movie more than 5 minutes long…
Question: Am i normal ?
A reader from France… living close to the “puces de Saint Ouen” 😉 lol
haha yesss I started a movement!
Wow… everyone’s a blog critic nowadays. For a form that hasn’t been around 10 years.
Did people say after “Troilus and Cressida”, “Gee, old Will is losing his touch. Let’s go catch some bear-baiting…”
please disable comments no one wants to read trolls only allow wordpress or other non hate commenting by bloggers
And now the comment critics pipe in…

Haven’t you figured out that this site isn’t really about race. If you’re so obsessed with race go to Stormfront where you belong.
This is almost like the new King of the Hill from a few weeks ago that focused on hipsters moving into a primarily latin area of town. “Hank! They put salmon in the fish tacos!”
The site has been watered down to the point where it has dried up. Read the posts. Folks are breaking windows, turning over cars and setting fires. By comparison, the tower of Babel looks like a monument to coherence.
Anonymous thy name is no name.
California is stupid.
King of the Hill, is one of the truly “White” shows on the talmudvision.
Mike Judge is not jewish.
This blog is titled SWPL, which refutes your whole thesis.
There is a difference between White places like Denmark, White neighborhoods in the USA, etc. and places like Detroit, Haiti, Zimbabwe and New Orleans.
Race doesn’t matter? Um, OK.
California is already non-White.
Sorry, but Klebold was a jew. In Chicago, this school year 22 blacks shot each other dead. In all cities that are non-white, this is a pattern. Go ahead, volunteer to teach, bring your taser!!!!!!!!
More Whites need to study genealogy!!! Good for Mr. Boyer!
(e.g. making fun of your ethnic mom’s accent)
OMG!!!!!!!! How UN-WHITE could that comment be?
How many non-Whites troll this blog?
you need to talk about how white people like to kiss their family members on the lips…bizarre! moms kissing sons, dads kissing daughters…i was so weirded out when i first saw it.
Jews peddle the products, trends, and ideas described in this blog to the eager (but mostly lonely) white liberals.
That is the workflow.
To a White person, it’s sad to see this degradation.
I think clander wearing a Zionazi Toronto hebrew-school T-shirt, and giving his first interview to “Heeb” magazine is proof enough of it.
Definitely McSweenys, I own one they put out a few years ago on the history of comics. Very cool.
it is crimeful to think not only was the 7 dwarves commies but also Jews.
Groucho & the brothers themselfs was also Marxes & possible of hebrew extraction…
Shirely Temple is actually black & i weep to know that cuz i luv her like the dog i never found
Don’t make fun. The man has a brain tumor on his ass.. please!

Okay, like the rest of you I don’t have anything to do or say. The devil finds work for idle hands and tongues.
Memo to Lander: Start a “new feature” posting Stuff White People Like” which is truly tasteless. For starters:
1) The Special Olympics
2) Memoirs by Date Rape Victims (Typically the author is an ingenue white girl who has been victimized in the fall of her freshman year in college after she innocently accepts a date with a star black tailback)
i guess they ink their book deal adn then done with new posts huh?
Yeah, looks like it. Or maybe since Target bought the site, they really are cutting back to one post per week.
Why has there not been a post about disc golf (or frisbee golf as some heathens like to call it)
Why has there not been a post about disc golf (or frisbee golf as some heathens like to call it)?
White people like to say that they are part Native American or that they have Indian blood.
That is why we tan so well!
Great website Kristin. I am appropriately pissed now.
Kristen, thanks for that link to The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard.
http://storyofstuff.com
It most certainly is a real eye-opener! Now I know I always felt like we were being manipulated.
http://davidrodriguez.us
Dave Eggers, Dave Eggers, Dave Eggers–really needs to be on the list!
The Story of Stuff was a real eye-opener. I was really surprised at how much we are manipulated.
And still you dont refute my argument. So im assuming you are way to young and ignorant to be discussing things you have no idea about. Jewish people are considered white, yes im sorry for you, becuase you believe thats all you have to make yourself feel superior in your hick ass town. Caucasian is actually pretty broad, meaning native iranians, arabs, indians, italians, greeks, germans, russians, most natives of european decent, and even native americans are considered caucasian. tons and tons of people are caucasian, some are fairer then others in skin tones. I have seen incredibly fair indians and arabs, who you would assume were of french ancestry. Because jewish people have lived in europe for thousands of years, they have become very fair, to the point of complete assimilation (yes i know its a hard word for someone who just got a B on a spelling test where “friendship” was the most difficult word to spell). Saying jews have big noses is like saying the english teeth are bad, or the italians have close set eyes, or arabs have unibrows. Its a complete stereotype, that while might have the bases in truth, is completely wrong today because of assimilation. So because someone has a name that seems to tell of their racial origins, you can easily say its true? No you cant, what about Barrack Hussian Obama?does he identify has black? most of america thought he was an arab terrorist a year and a half ago, now they know he is a black american running for president. So do you see how generalizing a name is dumb and ignorant? whether its true or not? I hope one day that you get out of your podunk town and go to a university. and for Oy Gevalt im saying jewish blacks, who live in africa, mostly from Ethiopia. I thought most people assumed jewish africans, were from the large ethiopian population. and how their are the jewish (religious) people and the jewish (race) people.
You guys must really be bored.
Hysterical!!!
Has anyone else noticed “white people in the news” always seems to come from the NY Times…..that must make it the whitest rag in the world.
Does the kind of Stuff White People Like include things like
Truth, Justice, and Equality?
http://www.survival-international.org
SWPL:
Using “literally” correctly.
This site TOTALLY cracks me up!!!!!
My cat’s breath smells like cat food!
Stuff White People Should LOVE….intelligent political analysis. Get it @ http://www.savagepolitics.com
Check out the article “We are the puppets”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://savagepolitics.com/?p=271
http://www.poorpeoplelikepizza.blogspot.com
LOL! You jews crack me up. Y’all tend to be the whitest of the whites. At least from my experience. 4000 years of eating nothing but kosher food turned the jewish people into the snobby whitebread coastalites that they are today. The New York Times is the proof.
I love this blog. For those trying to call you racist or defending certain items on your list, they just have no sense of humor. This list has proved my “whiteness” on a couple points, but I’m neither embarrassed nor angry. People need to stop taking themselves so seriously.
It’s like that article was written for this blog.
Your link to the storyofstuff web site should be taken down immediately. Connie at storyofstuff claims to have all the facts about how our stuff gets made, used and trashed. She’s f-ing brilliant. The almighty Connie letting us know how bad “stuff” is and how bad we are for using it or using it in an unwise way. If we could only all be like Connie! Yeah, right… what a joke.
And to top it off, Connie says that Government is there “to protect us (yes) and to take care of us.” And this is where she is wrong. It is not the government’s job to take care of us. “I feel your pain,” the politically savvy quote from Billy Boy Clinton basically meant, “I’ll be your daddy…” or “I’ll take care of you.” No where in our constitution does it say that the government will take care of you.
It is not the government’s job to protect us from ourselves either… which is what Connie implies in her explanation of government in her cute little white movie.
White people don’t really like Truth, Justice and Equality. They just want you to think that they do by talking about it, talking about it some more, talking about it even more still, and then telling you that your Truth is not their Truth and your Justice is not their Justice, etc. And then they’ll make sure you know that you’re wrong and they’re right and they’ll probably shout it at you until you relent because you think they’re going to blow a gasket.
Let me ask you this: do you believe that a fetus is just a lump of tissue, or that it’s actually a living heart? Don’t answer so quickly… I’m asking you what you believe, not what scientists say or that you believe what certain scientists say.
I’m Irish…but damn I love being Black!
And after the dust settles, only happyjack remains.
With the Stuff White People Like blog officially slain, it’s time for me to move on to more challenging prey. Perhaps I’ll meet some of you on my next target.
Stuff White People Like died on April 17th, 2008. RIP.
That NYT article is like a reverse troll of this blog.
Completely hilarious!
McSweeneys has slipped under the radar for far too long!
The writer’s of this post and blog are racist and uneducated young white guys. They (you) are under hard surveillance from the council. They shouldn’t throw around insults without backing or meaning. From their comfortable, parent-funded lives, they joke about subjects that are no joking matter. Everyone that reads this discriminating blog should be ashamed of themselves. Please do yourself, and everyone a favor and go to http://wordpress.com/complaints/
and flag this blog as a racist black hole on the web.
None of us need this site here!
These guys do not need to have their voice heard. They do not have a right to speak for a race, or compare their race to anyone elses!!
Please help stop this blog from spreading the disease that they so playfully toy with and hurt emotions!

wawww Great Post!
This site never fails to show me what a bad white person I am. maybe I need to have a heart to heart with me mother, there maybe something she needs to tell me or maybe I will just start checking the box labeled OTHER from now on when I am asked about my race:
• #101 Being Offended – I said earlier that I judge people as they come one at a time. As far as being offended you can find something at sometime was done to every race, creed, nationality, ethnic/geo/political/economic group that every walked the face of the earth, that’s a lot of offenses and I have neither the time nor the energy to be that offended. I think it would be better to study and learn from these mistakes and do one’s best to not repeat them or allow others to.
• #100 Bumper Stickers – I have only one an American Flag I think that covers just about every thing that is right and good in this world.
• #99 Grammar – Ain’t got no grammar.
• #98 The Ivy League – Got to love that Wonder Woman! OOPS! Wrong League!
• #97 Scarves – I don’t want anything wrapped around my neck not a scarf or a collar, chain, or a rope.
• #96 New Balance Shoes – Don’t own any, I guess I don’t fit right in to the New Balance stores.
• #95 Rugby – Is to football as professional basketball is to intercity basketball.
• #94 Free Healthcare – Medical care run by the people who run the postal service, sorry but to me that’s scary.
• #93 Music Piracy – I wonder how these people would feel if someone hacked into their company’s payroll system and occasional transferred an hours pay to someone else’s account. Or if they came out and found their car missing and note saying: ‘I had a hot date and needed a sweet ride. I liked the look of yours so I am using it. I promise to drive it around make sure everyone sees it and I will tell them what a great car it is! Don’t worry I will talk it up so much that when (and if) I return it to you the resale value will be TERMENDOUS!’
• #92 Book Deals – The problem used to be it was hard to get published now they seem to want to print everything even stuff that doesn’t read as good as the newspaper in the bottom of a bird cage.
• #91 San Francisco – Beautiful city with lots to see and do, but two of my most memorable experiences while there were one: Coming out of a nice restaurant on Fisherman’s Warf and into a crowd of homeless who’s bodies reeked so bad that I was barely able to hold down the good meal I just had. The second was walking pass a homeless man with a sign that said: Please help HIV, Hepatitis, TB. Now I did feel sorry for the guy, but I also felt like going back to my hotel and burning my shoes because I walked on the same sidewalk as this guy.
• #90 Dinner Parties – Good friends and good food what’s not to like?
• #89 St. Patrick’s Day – Always catch the Quite Man every March the 17th.
• #88 Having Gay Friends – See answer #7
• #87 Outdoor Performance Clothes – I prefer good outdoor clothes of even work type clothes they are usually more comfortable, cheaper, last longer, and hardly ever go out of style.
• #86 Shorts – When and were appropriate, but I hate sandals!
• #85 The Wire – Never seen it and haven’t planned on it either.
• #84 T-Shirts – Got plenty and can always use a few more.
• #83 Bad Memories of High School – Get over it already.
• #82 Hating Corporations – I have a few with Comcast at the top of my list, but then if I only didn’t have a TV that would fix it.
• #81 Graduate School – Seems to me these people always have a lot in common with those who studied abroad (See answer #72).
• #80 The Idea of Soccer – Not only do I not care for soccer, I don’t care for the idea of it either.
• #79 Modern Furniture – I buy furniture for comfort NEVER for style.
• #78 Multilingual Children – Well to me a person that never studied a second language I always found it both cool and embarrassing that a kid can do something I never learned to do.
• #77 Musical Comedy – Not really
• #76 Bottles of Water – Never caught on with me.
• #75 Threatening to Move to Canada – I wish most of those who threatened this would do it!
• #74 Oscar Parties – I don’t get this one, maybe a Super Bowl Party, but an Oscar Party?
• #73 Gentrification – I live were I feel comfortable not to make a statement.
• #72 Study Abroad – I studied a number of women. OOOPS! Very few people I know that studied abroad ever seem to have learned anything.
• #71 Being the only white person around – No I am like camouflage I prefer to blend in.
• #70 Difficult Breakups – See answer #66
• #69 Mos Def – WHO?
• #68 Michel Gondry – WHO?
• #67 Standing Still at Concerts – I just want the guy in front of me to SIT DOWN! So I can enjoy the over price ticket that Ticketmaster greedily sold me.
• #66 Divorce – Been there done that I saw nothing about it I like to do again.
• #65 Co-Ed Sports – Depends on the sport, is mud wrestling a sport?

Nice Post !!
I’m not sure if the link to the story of stuff is serious or not.
Because if it’s serious than it is giant error in judgement. Sure, it might have good points to make about poor people in other countries and Americans destroying the world.
However, that bitch in the video talks to its viewers as if they were unintelligent, or kindergarteners. Instead, of providing solutions or real statistics she just espouses opinions that have no basis in fact.
It’d be a good video with some actual evidence, a more intelligent host, and less mind-boggling dribble.
gooooooooooood
How about ancestry.com, the commercials seem to very much be aiming at the caucasian demographic?
Hello! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My blog covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and
I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me
an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!
Terrific blog by the way!
