It is a guarantee that whenever it is announced that a popular book is being turned into a movie, white people will get upset. This is partly due to their fear that something they love will be made accessible to more people and thus enjoyed by more people which immediately decreases the amount of joy a white person can feel towards the original property. Yes, it’s complicated.
The other problem is that these announcements create a ticking time bomb where by a white person must read the book in ADVANCE of the release of the movie. This is done partly so that they can engage in the popular activity of complaining about how the movie failed to capture the essence of the book. But more importantly, once a book has been made into a movie, a white person can no longer read that book. To have read the book after the movie is one of the great crimes in white culture, and under no circumstances should you ever admit to doing this. Literally dozens of white friendships have imploded when it was revealed that someone read Fight Club after 1999.
So when it was announced that Where the Wild Things Are was being turned into a feature film, white people didn’t immediately get excited at the prospect of this film, in fact a great number of white people cringed when they first heard it was being turned into a movie. This was merely instinct. Immediately, those concerns quickly turned into an opiate-like peace when they found out that the film is being directed by white person favorite Spike Jonze and adapted for the screen by legendary white writer Dave Eggers.
Though the talent and the material has white people in a tizzy, the real excitement comes from the fact that this film is based off a book that is 48 pages long and made up mostly of illustrations. This means that white people do not have to re-read the book until the day they head to the movie theater. Thus freeing them up to watch The Director’s Series: The Work of Spike Jonze DVD which they bought years ago but only watched once.
Finally, and perhaps of most value to you is that the film has generously provided you with an excellent way to test out how many white friends you have. When the trailer was released a few months ago, you should have been inundated with emails, instant messages, and Facebook wall posts about how you need to see the trailer immediately. If you received no word that the trailer was available, then you currently are in possession of no white friends. If you received multiple notices, you should take note about who sent it to you first.
I shall be forwarding this to the white friends who are excited about the Wild Things movie, because white people love things that are “meta”.
Also, is it true that white people immediately gravitate towards any movie with Catherine Keener in it, despite nobody really having strong feelings either way as to her talent, attractiveness or onscreen presence? A white person told me this was the case.
Clander,
Your guide to white people is extremely useful. HOWEVER. The lay up you missed here is that the original music for the film is by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and includes several songs by The Arcade Fire. All my instincts tell me this is something white people will like a great deal.
Keep up the good work.
Don’t forget the fact that all music is by another white person fave, The Arcade Fire.
Alex and Tom also present very strong points! I can’t wait to hear all the talk about “not staying true to the book.” A book that was all of ten sentences long…
http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/01/karen_o_doing_the_soundtrack.html
The trailer featured The Arcade Fire, but the soundtrack is being done mostly by Karen O, the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, another white person favorite.
Your whole post was a verbatim description of how all my white friends and I acted when Polar Express came out. Are you watching us?
And THAT movie had Tom Hanks…one of White People’s favorite actors.
I hope no one makes a movie out of this blog post, because it would totally ruin it’s essence!
How much does it cost to get an article written about my product on here? This sounded more like an ad than something white people like.
this is hilarious….who knew it was that serious?
What is your ‘product’? Crystal Meth? That’s something that WPL. Hey Clander, CJ wants you to do a post on his meth lab. Make sure to mention what happens to meth user’s teeth.
It’s peanut butter 😦
Can you say SWPL book deal….
Oh, shit, I just got around to reading Fight Club.
Man, no-one told me about the trailer. I really need to resuscitate my friendships with white people.
And the part about complaining how the movie missed the essence of the book – classic.
Can someone please just tell me where the wild things are so that I don’t have to watch the movie or read the book.
I guess my tattoo is only proving my whiteness:
Exactly what I first thought, brilliant!
Are there already entries for Spike Jonze and David Eggers? Because, seriously, those need to be here.
That book is so tired. And I hate how it says the word Terrible 2500 times.
@LazyWP: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120890/
Maybe you should hurry up and send Ira Frank a buck or two before going for the whole Caucasoid Yakuza look; with maybe some Tolkein, C. S. Lewis, J.K. Rowling & Dr. Seuss tableau throat to tootsies?
the book is A LOT shorter than 48 pages, but yeah besides that nice post.
yea, it’s just terrible how many times terrible is used in that book full of terrible words.
I prefer the classics…http://www.brainbooger.com/2/post/2009/07/stuff-white-people-like-most.html
This is the first I’ve heard of this movie. I think I need to send all my white friends to White Camp. Can someone please invent that? They need some practice on how to be good white people.
Did they sponsor you to write this? I normally completely relate to all of these (or know friends that do) and I completely missed this one. I didn’t even know this movie was coming out… nor do I really care. Not funny at all to me.
You switch from third person to second person in the last paragraph of this article.
Proper White People don’t watch wretched Hollywood movies. If you offered a Proper White Person $25 to watch a Hollywood movie he would turn it down. For $50, maybe.
Movies that are based on books, interestingly, are less egregious than movies based on ghastly Hollywood scripts – it gives directors less leeway to inject their perverse, subversive “values”.
“If you received no word that the trailer was available, then you currently are in possession of no white friends.”
In HBD circles we make fun of you people – the people you refer to as “white” – as the “SWPL” crowd. You’re widely mocked by the few, the proud, the HBD crowd. Television watchers, consumerists, barren, gay gay gay, trendy, tacky, not terribly bright, self-loathing, unathletic, lacking in vigor, ambiguously ironic to a degree your words are meaningless, of sketchy character, wrong about pretty much every issue under the sun, Obama supporters – ugh, you’re hideous.
Proper White People don’t get tattoos, *especially* women. Ugh, it’s hideous.
In all seriousness I hope the media doesn’t tell you people that jumping off a bridge is teh new hotness because you’re probably stupid enough to that too. I hope you don’t have kids; please don’t have any. “My mom, the tattooed stunned whore”, poor kids.
crusty comment
Apparently I’m in possession of no white friends… lol
Lol I dont know where all the hype for that preview came from… very underwhelming. Just cus you have some emo music, doesnt make it emotional…
cool clip but way too much hype
Except “ironic tattooes” are already up on this site. It’s canon!
Apparently I don’t have any white friends at all, but I’m white…. Maybe this one doesn’t apply to teenagers
I’m confused – so you peeps at the Home Brewing Digest don’t like White People? Or is it all of you with hereditary blood disorders don’t like White People?
If your acronym doesn’t even show up on the first page of Google, the it is an acronym FAIL.
Despite, it being Hollywood – I would easily take $25 even the cost of the ghastly ticket, just for the hell of it.
Would I personally pay for the Hollywood movie, mostly not.
What in the hell are you talking about? I used to think I was white, but I sure don’t fit Lander’s list.
take a breath
Best post ever. Max is a pimp. He wears a wolf suit and rides monsters!
That tears it.
Sorry, just not white enough.
Good to see another post.
The inundation of e-mails and facebook status updates definitely occurred among my white friend base.
http://www.stuffwhitechristianslike.com
This is the last straw. I’ve tried to deny it for so long…But alas, my boyfriend is so damn white. Is it contagious?
i saw the trailer about two days ago. it made me cry tears of joy, i’m not sure why xD
You are such a cracker….
This is one angry cracka….
that’s what im talkin about. luvded that movie….
haha check out the song “liberal white girl”
http://www.myspace.com/tohurtamericawithmusic
Interesting, this is something black people like as well. We seem to have our feet planted firmly on common ground (the soil feels nice between the toes, yes?). LOL
I’m white and have no idea who Catherine Keener is.
are you talking about ‘wild thing’ as in Tone Loc, or ‘wild thing’ as in the book?
personally, i like’em both.
you got it all wrong…max is a ho and the monsters were his pimp…
……who was chasing who at the end of the book….those monsters wanted to ride Max to turn him out and make him their wolf-ho (hmmmm….aren’t wolves canines?….and aren’t female canines are called…..
beeeeeotches.
Spike Jonze, Arcade Fire in trailer, a chance to share childhood anecdotes.
What cute white boy wants to meet up on our fixies then head towards the theatre? We can ever sneak in our own organic snacks!
Was waiting for your article…..worth the wait, white chum!
Uh oh, I read No Country For Old Men last summer. Please don’t tell anyone.
http://www.stuffwhitechristianslike.com
As an unabashed white person myself, who grew up on “The Wild Things,” it’s rather shocking that this is the first I’ve heard of it.
Does this really mean I have no white friends?
Ha! You should’ve just bought the book to put on your shelf. No white person would have ever called you on it. They would lose face doing that.
Hey, I didn’t get any emails when the trailer was released!
*whereby
big fan!
ugh! how hilarious can one website legally be!?)
I’ve never read the book or have any clue what its about.
I think it’s important to note that, while no self-respecting white person wants to admit to having read a book after the movie comes out, it’s only a crime for a specific subclass of whit people: pretentious psuedo-intellectuals.
These white people consider all literature to be their personal property and therefore feel completely justified expounding, loudly over their iced frappuccino that they never understood all the hubbub over the Invisible Man.
It’s okay to invite them over to your place, but never, under any circumstances give them wine; it makes them mean and bitchy.
I actually remember watching a live action version of this when I was a kid. Our library had it on VHS. Looks like it’s been screen adapted before so I’m not sure what all the fuss is about.
Oh well, I think it’s cause “right kind of white people” don’t have enough to worry about so they have to freak out about things like movie adaptations.
This is simply not true, not only have I read Fight Club after I sw the movie, but I’ve read it several times after and my group of friends sit around talking about it, and we also talk about how excited we are about Where the While things Are, and we don’t think it’s going to be horrible at all, and we would totally still read the book afterwards. Most of the time, seeing a good movie is actually what makes me want to read the book!
Although I am very white (according to this website and the book), and although I almost always read the book before the movie, Fight Club is one of just two movies (out of the hundreds of movies from books that I’ve seen) where I haven’t read the book first (in fact, I still haven’t, though I’ve seen the movie at least twenty times).
With that stupid ad for windows, I’m afraid you’ve officially lost all cred. You know what white people DON’T like? sell outs. especially sell-outs for windows.
the dream is over.
It is incorrect that white people will not read a book after seeing the movie. In fact, just the opposite is true. You can read the book after seeing the movie and then complain how the movie fails to live up to the book. However, those who are lucky enough to read the book before the movie have the advantage of complaining earlier about the failure of the movie version. The main takeaway is that white people read the book and see the movie, and that the movie is ALWAYS inferior to the book. Notable exceptions are the Godfather, Jaws and other summer fare or ‘Chick Lit’, which are not ‘real’ books anyway.
Homeless, are you sure you are white? Reading ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ is required reading for all white children and their parents who dutifully read it to them.
That is true. I am white and I read it. I oftentimes give it to friends as a present for their babies. But only my white friends. I would write more about growing up white and literate, but ruelala goes on sale in 6 minutes and I think the featured designers today are Rock n Republic and Kiehls
apparently one of the things white people don’t like is writing in this blog regularly…. once a month? Seriously it’s summer. I know you cant be smoking that much ganja and listening to that much bob to forget that you had a following. Get it together!
Correct Chanel! All you need is a laptop and Internet access which is available at all Starbucks. Martha;s Vineyard has had Internet access for years. What happened to the Protestant work ethic?
stupid you can do better than this
oh dear god, i was one of those people who posted it on facebook after the trailer was released…
SO WHITEEE
yeah can we talk about how excited white people got when they heard that acoustic version of Wake Up by the Arcade Fire in the trailer? shoulda mention that one, christian
Real White People have already pre-ordered their copy of The Wild Things by Dave Eggers (available through McSweeney’s of course). They will only have 15 days to read it before the movie is released.
http://store.mcsweeneys.net/index.cfm/fuseaction/catalog.detail/object_id/5fff804b-b728-401f-ad5c-52ae8ad1e752/TheWildThings.cfm
You’re absolutley correct, white people only sell out to Apple….at least the advanced ones do.
Wow, all this time I thought my friends and I were black. According to this post we’re all really, really white. LOL
I subscribe to many white blogs which informed me immediately of the trailer via my RSS feeds. Does this count? Please say yes.
I guess all my “white” friends are really not white at all.
http://soundcinema.wordpress.com/
Steph, yes many people wrongly assume ‘white’ has something to do with skin color. Nothing could be further from the truth. For example, someone could have skin the color of newly fallen snow, but if they are a NASCAR fan, they are, in fact, not white.
Crap I had to Google “Where the Wild Things Are.”
blink-blink doesn’t count.
Sellout smellout! Only people that cant manage anything in life are talking about selling out. The dream is still on!
I didn’t read Fight Club until 2004. But I was 9 in 1999, so I think that is a legitimate excuse.
It should be boted that if your “Where the Wild Things Are” white friend litmus test proves you have no white friends, hanging out at the premier of this movie will be a great way to make some new white friends.
That and hanging around coffee shops and loudly proclaiming that, in your opinion (white people love saying that), the movie doesn’t come close to living up to the book.
of course this blog is being playful. where the wild things are is a fun romp for creative minds alike. no fair labeling it “for white folks” or “something white folks exclusively like.”
its an awesome adventure filled with awesome imagery. where does harry potter fall in this? hispanic people love harry potter?
lame.
This blog has kind of jumped the shark, you know? It stopped being funny and has started straining its bowels quite a bit fir the past few months. Find something better to do. I certainly intend to.
Fuck you.
^Wrong kind of white person? 🙂
Totally! Also, proclaiming “I always preferred Sendak’s earlier stuff, like Chicken Soup with Rice…”
I am a hippie dope smoking peace freak, I like Obama’s new snap program, but where is the love man? The Man says fuck you, is that right. I am teaching retarded children how to hate the man, and this guy is the reason why. Spread love and crabs. Get your food stamps and ring that welfare phone,safe link, fuck the man. Leave free and be a happy freak. I have not washed in 3 fucking months, I smell like shit, so fuck you man.
Ha! Indeed the number of links you received to get you to the wild things trailer sometime back in April/May is a fine indicator of just how many white people you know. And definitely the common complaint that the book was better than the movie, that’s a white person complaint. Very common. Though I’m white, I frequently like the movie better than the book because let’s face it it, takes much less time to get the same general message into you with a movie than it does a book. Plus there’s sound and attractive people to look at, not just quiet words.
I’m so happy to be a jew bitch after reading this garbage.
I love you.
well said
So…is your new TV show a joke? Because…this site is really funny and well-written…and the TV show looks fucking terrible. And unoriginal. And I’m just sitting here thinking that it must be a joke, right? Jeez dude.
hey, finally, a post…its only been over a month! keep updating this site more frequently!
The google ads that get attached to these things are the funniest crap. Irony.
don’t forget that the trailer for this featured an Arcade Fire song! white people love indie.
Hey Christian, amazing…I love the book and have plenty of time to read it ahead of the release! By the way, thanks for your advice on http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com its coming along great and am hoping it becomes Stuff White People Like too!
PS. Good luck with the show!
Wow a spin off. How original.
I guess white people love it.
another bonus about this movie is that is used minimal CGI effects and white people hate CGI
I challenge you to a duel at http://www.brainbooger.com/
Exactly. Doing an ad is one thing, but for WINDOWS? Come on. It’s over, man. It’s over.
No, no. HBD stands for “Hawaiian Belly Dancers”. Why we should actually care what they think of White People is unclear, but whatever. If they’re not doing a belly-dance version of “Where the Wild Things Are”, I can’t say they affect me all that much.
the book Field of Dreams is based on “Shoeless Joe” also falls into this category
The first paragraph about white people not liking when a book becomes a movie because it will become popular, thus won’t be their little secret anymore, is also applicable to white people when independent musicians or actors go mainstream
Never heard of the movie or the book. Is this only known by white people who have kids? Gotta admit: The poster for the movie doesn’t do anything for me.
i am looking forward to the movie because it was my absolute favorite book as a kid. thats it.
I hear ya!
The first novel I can remember reading was The Hobbit (how white is that?) and they still haven’t made a decent movie out of it. WTF?
OUCH
@WriterX
It is largely known to people who were white kids at some point, I suppose?
Oof. Chris, you should really reconsider posting that ad for your show on this site. You’re a witty writer, but your in-person charisma couldn’t fill a shot glass. You have all the verve and personality of lukewarm farina. The dorks on G4TV are more engaging hosts.
The Pacific Northwest Ballet (Seattle) does the Nutcracker every year; which is not all that interesting, except for the set being designed by Maurice Sendak himself…
I have to admit, as a full-on WP, this was more than a small influence in my wanting to go see it. And Msr. Sendak did not disappoint! (I’m looking for some punchline to end on here, but I got nothing. Better go hop on my Vespa to meet up with my gay black friends for a fair-trade coffee)
Dude, seriously? How did you manage to grow up without reading “Where the Wild Things Are”?
I expect to see “#128 selling out” on the site soon.
You could have at least worn an ironic T-shirt on the trailer for your show.
Might I suggest something that says: “Does this outfit make me look like a corporate shill?”
Sponsored by Windows?
“I took a PC and some smart-aleck comments about white people and turned it (sic) into analog money, digital respect and Internet fame.”
Did the evil overlords at Microsoft not even allow you to name the manufacturer of the computer you used in the grammatically incorrect script they wrote for you? Or even whether you used a laptop or desktop?
For someone who captures — hilariously — the way the self-consumed see the world in his writing, your complete inability to speak like a normal human in that clip tells me you aren’t very comfortable.
Or maybe the discomfort was caused when Steve Ballmer undid your white belt, pulled down your vintage trousers and shoved a Zune where the Northern Lights don’t shine.
Don’t get me wrong — I wouldn’t begrudge anyone’s opportunity to make analog money, but wow, where’s your digital self-respect?
I tried to sign up for your show but there was no option for “Throw it into a landfill” on the What do you most with your PC?
Rudy you sick weird whore, how are your hamsters? German fag boy. I came home after a hard day of work and Rudi can’t even make a sandwich, just relaxing shoving hamsters in his mangina.
Hopefully the movie isn’t too popular, because then no white people will want to see it – causing it to bomb at the box office because white people are the key demographic for the film.
http://www.stuffwhitechristianslike.com
Wait, Fight Club was a book?
This is retarded to a point that i cant understand where you get these fucked up theories.
no, white people like movies rather than books, like nascar, like the nfl, like suvs and pick up trucks, and like whatever is popular and accepted. white people like beards, dark rimmed glasses, and making fun of things they liked last fucking year. you fucking gay hipster.
That reminds me, I also have to watch my Michel Gondry DVD set soon as well.
yes.
written by Chuck Palahniuk
good read.
thats the wrong kind of white person.
eww.
It doesn’t matter where the theories come from. A lot of times they are right plus it got you reading! If you want some serious envy of things you will believe, check out http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com, you can’t afford it!
The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club…do you know the second rule?
Advanced white people install adblocker software plugins on their open-source browser. Duh.
White people like stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. If it turns out it’s something they really don’t like, they can feel proud of themselves, knowing they’re above the fray of all those “other” stupid white people, you know, like the ones who like coffee. WHAT, coffee?
If it’s something they like, they can all give each other high fives because in the borderless terrain of the internet, nothing creates more community than the supposed shared love of Asian girls–which, by the way, is such a turn-off for this Asian girl.
This movie looks adorable to me and they play Arcade Fire in the trailer.
This guy sure gets a lot of mileage outta this crap!
Since when is being white such a novelty.
What about real whitey stuff, like hillbilly music?
Ever see a black guy with grills and bling playing “Boil Them Cabbage Down” on BANJO?
NO.
I AM the TRUE champion of white America….HA!
I will go see it. Just to sit in theater or a pace with a lot of White people just gets to be a treat since it is such a very RARE thing in new Orleans, Louisiana.
First, I agree that admitting to loving ONLY asian girls is a turn-off and more than a little creepy. This is also a key difference between white people and rich white people. You won’t see a post about Asian women at Stuff Rich People Love, unless it’s about gardeners 😉
Want to grab a cappuccino?
you go girl!!! and dont let this creepy white guy hit on you whose only pretending 2 not only like asian girls but is probably some creepy nerd. but hey every asian girl that goes 4 a white guy like that leaves more asian boys 4 us b/c they are BEAUTIFUL!!!
im glad u aint like that tho b/c i already have a man
MUSIC WHITE PEOPLE LIKE
http://prettygoodmusic.wordpress.com/
I saw the trailer at a movie and white people all around me started getting excited. One guy said “oh man i cant believe they are making that into a movie. It’s not gonna be as good as the book.” Another dude was thrilled, “awesome, spike jonze is the director so you know its gonna be good.”…….I laughed
As a white person I am opposed to writing about making movies about writing……
My blog is infinite more interesting than this one, mostly because it is written by a “white person”.
I saw a first-edition copy for sale in Las Vegas for $28,000.
Ok, I’m a Black female and when I saw the preview in the new Harry Potter flick, I cooed like a baby in bottle heat. I loved this book!
The real where the wild things are might be at these type of parties:
http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/2009/07/296-peaceful-block-parties.html
Can I comment on the typos in this story? This white boy doesn’t like them!
But why didn’t they read the book as a child then?
I loved that book, the art was pretty and the guy had cool pajamas
Yeah… guilty. Watched that DVD once. Will re-read the book day before. Never noticed that about myself.
“To have read the book after the movie is one of the great crimes in white culture, and under no circumstances should you ever admit to doing this.”
I have a quibble with this. White people are only forbidden from reading the book after the movie if the movie is popular/successful. It’s still possible to read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy because nobody in the world saw that movie. It was possible to read the Lord of the Rings after 1978, but not after the recent movies.
I really enjoy this website. I’m not black, nor white. My white friends love to read these too. They really get a kick from it. They don’t get offended and run off and make a website about, “What Native Americans Don’t Like”. I don’t know many black people to make jokes about them. I do know this, that white people don’t like to get called “White” people by other races. They mostly like to use the term “White” when referring to themselves when bragging about themselves. I do see the same in reference to other races. They have terms they use for each other which can be degrading when used by others from different races. We have alot of jokes about ourselves. Of course, the general populace doesn’t always “get them”. That’s OK, they’re our jokes. Humor is good people, if you can laugh at yourself, you have an open mind. Don’t always think someone is out to get you. You’ll miss out on alot of “good stuff”.
By the way, I didn’t see any regulations regarding grammar or spelling. Just an observation. Very Tenderly Yours, MJ
I evidently either have no white friends or no one who can read….
You can call rich & white or beautiful & white people just about anything you want to (except fat). It doesn’t bother them.
Larf! I read it post-movie, too, and frankly I would have missed out on the twist had I read the book first. Both were fine bits of entertainment, regardless.
man that was lame.
Clander you are slipping.
I’ll throw you a softball,
Golf, white people love golf. They don’t have to feel guilty about it anymore since Tiger,( the best non-white person a white person could ever have as a friend) is the best player in the world.
go from there.
Get the Cliffnotes, dumb-ass.
You forgot to include the fact that white people indie favourite The Arcade Fire was included in the trailer!
the likeability factor is increased 2000000000x because a track in the trailer is a not well-known song by arcade fire. yeah!
whoa– i just made a comment that’s almost the same!! cosmic–
I was shocked to find this entry on that one site that keeps posting links on here. It makes fun of those who like this site.
http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/2009/07/47-disingenuous-white-liberals.html
I’ve had Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” on my list of books to read for a while now. When I heard they were making it into a movie, I had to immediately go buy a copy before the bookstores began stocking the shelves with editions that have the NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE plastered on the front and a movie poster image on the cover. How am I supposed to be a book snob with Viggo Mortensen on the cover practically saying “Look, he bought the book tie in! In fact, there’s probably a few stains from the popcorn butter on page 148.”
Lander I hate that book. The kid was a freak on a leash. Not one of Sendaks better books. You’re losing your touch homeslice. Come up with something better than this.
I disagree with the first paragraph– I really enjoy the prospect of sharing the stories I love with people who have not been exposed to them, but not when they are edited so as to conform to Hollywood’s standards (especially leaving good stuff out). Part of the joy I got when I was a kid reading “Where the Wild Things Are” was just in turning the pages to see how the story unfolded, since it was written with a lot of ellipses…and you really can’t mimic the experience of seeing each illustration as you read it, that was part of the beauty of that book. It would be wonderful if the movie was good, but I’d much rather the book be on every kid’s shelf. I’d like to think it’s just as popular with new generations as it was when I was growing up.
I love this book! I am not TOTALLY against it as a movie although it may be a little like Monsters Inc. That said, as much as it is a classic, I am not convinced it will end up in private libraries of the wealthy. I write for http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com and while white people love this book a little money goes a long way to making people forget the stuff that was important when they were younger!
White Girl, you’re just sucking up to Asian girl because you’re relieved she’s not out to “steal” more white men from you and your ilk.
That’s probably because you’e an ugly Asian girl who can’t get even a nerdy white guy.
When “The Sopranos” first came out it was much loved by white people because it was an HBO show that was supposedly too gritty and edgy for the average Joe to stomach. But when it was shown on network TV and proved popular with the general public, a lot of white people decided that “The Sopranos” was really starting to go downhill 😀
I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Can one million RICH WHITE PEOPLE send me one dollar apiece, puh-lease????
I don’t want money from any Asians, or Blacks or Hispanics. You guys NEED your money. I only want one dollar apiece from RICH WHITE PEOPLE who seem to WASTE their time and money on this Sendak movie trailer.
Waste it on me instead. Thanks so much! (First person who comments “You ARE a waste.” is a rotten egg. You thought it. I know you did. Stop lying. See? I knew it.)

Americans hate soccer with a passion. We will always insult it no matter what. We will always question the masculinity of the millions who play it and the billions who watch it, nothing will change that. We are superior because we are American, our sports are superior, foreign sports are inferior.
This is the mindset that no matter what you soccer fags will never change. America’s culture and sports dominate the world. Soccer is inferior, for weak people of lesser physical and mental stature to Americans. Soccer sucks. SUCKS BALLS SOCCER>

That’s so true….

Yeah, let’s see a soccer player jump out of a 3′ pool. C’mon, World, YouTube is waiting.
I’ve read your book and been looking at this blog for awhile and have noticed that you keep recycling the same basic joke in every post:
That “white people” do absolutely everything so that they can tell other people that they do it. They end up feeling superior.
While it may be mostly true, it’s just not that funny after the 127th iteration. I suggest a new angle lest you become a passing fad.
So? people keep returning and it’s funny.
The author is saving that for his follow-up, “Stuff White People Don’t Like (But Certainly Don’t Mind Complaining About).”
It is funny, and lets face it: it is true. Telling other white people about the things that I do is the reason I do what I do :p
I just blogged about a very SWPL activity featured in the New York Times:
SWPL Swimming in Dumpster
For anyone who hasn’t visited before, my blog is similar to Steve Sailer and HalfSigma. Much denouncement of liberals and SWPLs on my site.
I see what you did there!
Somewhat of a good point – but some kinds of funny are still funny the 1,000,000th time.
I worry about SWPL becoming a passing fad, but it’s still surprising how many people look at the book on my desk or bathroom and have no clue. This means: plenty of market left – at least until there’s a movie and it’s accessible by everyone of course.
Also, the number of comments the moment these posts go up are surprising… still. I thought the fad would have passed, but it looks like it may be a bit more than that.
I love that movie….

Denouncing Liberals is so passe’.
Besides being easy.
Be yourself, Rush is already taken!
Plenty of market left because people are easily manufactured by non-skilled labor.
Rudy you sick fag, how are your hamsters? Asshole, what kind of sick pervert are you? I think white people are the scum of the earth.
You are correct. I am no genius, but I realize you really have to dumb down your thinking to be successful with the masses. I have given humans too much credit over the years.
For instance – paying for ringtones. I know a guy that makes millions on this idiotic idea. I would never have come up with the business model he has – I misunderstood a critical on the component of his plan: people are impulsive idiots on the whole.
I hope to be more successful in life by assuming the guy on the street is as smart as a 2nd grader. I think I will do better all around with this theory. I think that’s what SWPL has discovered as well.
I had no idea – the National Guard went in first? Kudos to them. That definitely is new information to me, thanks for the first-hand history lesson.
Didn’t every American have this book read to them in elementary school? I know my school librarian read it to us at least 8 times. I like the book, and it only takes 4 minutes to read it, so if the movie is any longer than 4 minutes I’m going to be fucking pissed.
No one sent me anything about the trailer. I must not only not be white (What am I then???), but none of my friends are too. I guess we’re all basically black anyway, right?
why has pizza not made the list yet?
dude, point on.
So how often do we get a new post here? One a month?
Never give a sucker an even break, and there’s one born every minute.
Pet rocks made more sense than bottled water.
I’m just saying.
And….ringtones suck.
Even if white people do like them.
Of course, there’s always BLUEGRASS RINGTONES.
HA!
WHITE PEOPLE are impatient.
AMEN!
Black folks will sit through a one hour sunday sermon.
Whites? The whole service is one hour.

Haha, I didn’t understand this one at first, because in Europe it’s not out yet, and also not very known I think. But yesterday in the cinema I got a trailer of a movie with indie music, a nerdy little white boy, and the font was not normal but mimicked a pencil (so much more imaginative). Ofcourse, after months of reading this blog, I immediately thought, “this must be a white people’s movie”.
And o yes : directed by Spike Jonze, “Where the Wild Things are”. This website really helped me recognize white culture!
Ah, Doctor. My old friend. A whitey, eh?
Whitey likes to kick it with Spike.
Makes people think he’s not the nerd he is.
I hate white friends come to work dressed as characters from Harry Potter and I thought about this site. You guys crack me up!
The fightclub quote was hilarious.
http://www.poeticmotherlover.com
fancy meeting you here
I think it’s great how Spike Jones and that Eggers dude are qualified as being white. I think that should be applied when writing about all white artists, just like all “minority” artists are written about as the most successful “black” actor, or the most widely recognized “Latina” singer, etc. Only when you do it to whites, do you begin to realize how diminishing it is…
Great one.
White people in Church?
Surely one of the up sides of being white and educated is giving up belief in religous fairytales.
Unless perhaps they fall in to some eastern spiritual awakening type travel/yoga class experience.
Guilty of looking for the book in a crate and putting it back in the shelf next to other books.
Is it just me or is this entire list things that indies, hipsters, and hippies like?
White people definitely don’t like Michael Bay, and Abraham Lincoln calls him out on it…
http://lincolnsaysuncool.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/lincoln-says-uncool-michael-bay/
This is boring.
Any suggestions on blogs where the owner is actually home?
Where else can some mediocre white guy do one post a month and wait on the thousands of views to roll in?
Making “Where the Wild Things Are” into a movie is a critical milestone in the impending cataclysmic implosion of white American culture. It’s the only movie-based-on-a-book that appeals equally to white adults and children, but on which children can speak with more authority than their own parents and teachers. The point is to cause tension and strife from within the white American family, thus leading to the total distraction of white Americans, who then won’t notice (until it’s too late) that they have become the minority population in this wheatbread country.
I’m pretty sure you could have better characterized the name of this blog as “Stuff Elite-Liberal People Like”.
Still funny as shit. Kudos, mate.
hahaha!

White people certainly do not like Michael Bay, and Abraham Lincoln calls him out on it

If someone would like to send me a copy of Where the Wild Things Are for me to review, that’d be great. I’m too scared to go to the li-barry because it’s summer vacation and the punk kids have taken over. And I don’t have money to buy a copy – especially now that all the book covers are sure to read, “Now a major motion picture!”
I gotta delete this stupid link.
This isn’t even worth bothering with.

I did exactly what the final paragraph said when I realized this movie was coming out. This made me laugh out loud!

http://lincolnsaysuncool.wordpress.com/2009/07/20/lincoln-says-uncool-dane-cook/
Yeah, that’s kind of the point.
What further increases the value of this movie for white culture is the fact that the arcade fire re-recorded wake up for the movie.
i think that this movie appeals mostly to hallucinogenic drug users such as myself more then anyone. do you know how trippy this movie is gonna be? i also cant wait for the alice in wonderland movie. psyched.
Being an occasional recreational drug user, i recommend that everyone that doesnt like this site smoke some gange then read this and tell me its not funny. And also to eat an 8th of shrooms and go see this movie. 🙂

Damn, I must be srt8 White, then; I’m what you’d call a ‘Brutha’ and I grew up reading this book, still my favorite kids book of all time. That’s what I get for being a kid growing up on the lower east side of NYC in the 60’s. Before it was cool.
White people like to visit my blog without commenting.

Not me!
I bought some from them once.

I remember when LSD was legal.
im white and i’ve never heard of this. How is this white?
you were deprived or possibly even still are white “trash”
You are not white enough my friend.
At my wife’s baby shower someone got us this book. I remember liking it as a kid but reading it now, I have no idea how they can make a movie out of this. The whole book is only like five sentences long.
I think it’s hilarious how so many people who post take these comments so literally. “Hey I’m white and I don’t like (insert listed item here).” OR “F*(# You. You’re racist. (other racial group) does (something stereotypical).”.
How do they miss the satire and that he is obviously making fun a particular group of white people (that could include any race)? I think this website is one of the funniest things on the internet because I have tons of friends who fit this list perfectly. I even admit that some apply to me, but it is freaking hilarious.
I even reference this website to poke fun at some of my friends who fit it so well.
Everyone who doesn’t get it, lighten up and laugh at yourself or some general satire.

sat·ire (sāt’īr’)
n.
1. A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.
2. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.
You obviously needed to be notified of the definition of satire, which is what this article is made of.
I love the satirical nature of this article. You made me laugh. Thank you.

I didn’t care much for WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE when I was a kid. I’m certainly not going to see it now that I’m 47 years old . . .
I was always more partial to the metaphysical themes and imagery of Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen…
Indeed. Every card-carrying white person knows that the only marginally acceptable motorsports are open-wheel racing (Formula One, not Indy) and Rallye. And even those skirt the fringes of white acceptability.

How could you not love Where the Wild Things are. I think that book is why I wanted a pair of PJs with the drop chute and dreamed about sailing when I was a kid.
Maybe you have no soul?
Christian,
You might be a writer, but you’ll never be an author. Enjoy this petty little ride while it last, because this is about as funny, and about as offensive, as hearing Steve Urkel say “Did I do that?” for a decade.
“… time bomb where by a white person…” should be “… time bomb whereby a white person…”.
I can’t be the first person here to have pointed this out, as per https://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/05/12/99-grammar/
i was just by to say that i surely hope heavymetal is on your list
mj
Yeah very true Christian. Loved the book as a kid and i’m also quite fond of nostalgia… so, the movie should be a win all round.
PS. Your descriptions are frighteningly like this white guy i know. He likes almost everything in your list, and i think he likes posting comments on blogs.. he’s also one of those berks who likes irony
you’re a dick.
White people certainly do not like cargo shorts…

“But more importantly, once a book has been made into a movie, a white person can no longer read that book. To have read the book after the movie is one of the great crimes in white culture, and under no circumstances should you ever admit to doing this.”

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, no?

the person who writes this blog is the mother of all white people. He writes this blog to feel superior to other white people and to somehow redeem himself for all of the cliche whiteness in his life.
that having been said, i like this blog, its a lot of fun to read, and usually pretty dead on accurate. thanks!
Instead of Facebook, the subject content of the last paragraph should be replaced with “number of white friends that actually knew Arcade Fire was the band playing in the trailer.” Now, if they couldn’t recognize that, then you’re in for a battle trying to get them to actually pay to see anything Spike Jonze related.
By the way, this post was shamelessly on point.
what is it about this book in particular that fascinates white people? or could it be any book? i don’t think so. white people are not up in arms when the latest john grisham is about to be made into a movie. “where the wild things are” is an okay book in my opinion. not as good as some people think but not that bad as well. it’s a bit too twee for my tastes.

Confession of extreme caucasian-ness: The trailer for Where the Wild Things Are made me cry when I saw it before Harry Potter. Like, an embarrassing amount.
(Also, this book has a special place in my heart because I’m a superwhite kid born to superwhite divorced parents! It’s the ultimate picture book for people who fit this demographic.)
I don’t know what the hell the word “white” means to you. Apparently it’s a cipher for a self-hating suburbanite. Or perhaps it’s self-hating urban yuppie? Whatever the hell it means to you, your comments do not represent me or most of the “white” people I know. I really wish you would cease from the ridiculous arrogance of acting like you speak for white people. It’s a commonplace today for white people to stereotype themselves. This shit is lame.
michael chicago:
please look up the word “satire”

I remember liking this book as a kid, like really little kid, but I don’t remember what it was about. Was it dark? I like dark things now, and thinking about the book gives me the same sense-memory like, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, Christian, way to jump on “the latest” here. Maybe you could mix it up and sneak one in on how niggas love basketball?

Shut up whitey.
WTWTA contains a reliably reassuring white person ending where you always get your soup at the end. Kind of like getting an angry fix on the Negro streets at dawn, and then going back to live with your parents.
Also, “Max” is sure-fire white person baby boy’s name, the kind all white males secretly wish they’d been given, instead of Dave or Cody – boardroom authoritative yet authentically ethnic and artsy/rebellious, thanks to Sendak’s book.
@ wozo: agreed!; @chuck re:max. lol

that’s an idiotic comment! What do you have against white people? Which white person in the world is going to live in
“…fear that something they love will be made accessible to more people and thus enjoyed by more people which immediately decreases the amount of joy a white person can feel towards the original property…” ?
How do you get such a notion? and why would you waste time in writing a whole thing about white people? What are you? a purple polka dotted bigot?

This is too funny! I just stumbled across this site and have laughed all morning.

I love that :]
Haven’t you seen the Goode Family?

Holy shit. It turns out I’m in some outer valency of white.
And it’s true about typography. Nearly every white person in the hive embraced typography around 2003, as a complement to their flirtation with zero tolerance punctuation.
People are upset when something they love is being turned into a movie because movies suck, and they don’t want some hollywood assholes trying to make money taking a shit on their favorite works. like the recent dragonball movie for example. Or any video game movie ever.
He didn’t say that they were living in fear, only that they feared it. The difference is the former is an idiom that implies constant and strong (to the point of problematic) fear, rather than the frivolous “fear” the latter implies.
Also, on another subject ,why in the world are you freaking out so much? And you’re calling the author of the blog a bigot? Let’s do a little review.
Black people:
After being enslaved for hundreds of years, were “emancipated” in such a manner that was only marginally better off. Even now that they find ways to be productive members of society, they still encounter racism on a daily basis, even in major metropolitan areas.
You:
Freaked out because a white guy made a joke blog about things white people like/dislike
Seeing as we’ve been on the giving side of a terrible equation for years, I think we can take a joke blog written by another white guy. Calm your ass down.
This is tragic. I loved SWPL. Do better.

Very well said
So white people like everything?

this is so true. my ex girlfriend read “twilight” prior to the movies release. she went and saw it, then complained for weeks about how the book was better than the movie.
This sounds like the kind of soppy guilt that white people use to increase their social cache.
That first paragraph describes precisely alternative music in the mid to late 80’s. And now we’re all pushing forty and it still amazes me how many people never outgrew that garbage.
Oh, and I didn’t know about this film until I read this blog, so I’m either massively square or a white person extradornaire on many, many levels. And I didn’t mean “square” in the “ironic” sense, or the 90’s version of “irony” anyway, and, wait, I mean…….I need a soy latte.

Wow. I had no idea how white I am. I think there should be a matrix to rate how white you are. Where would I be as a 34 y/o non denominational christian, pescatarian(a guilty vegitarian that still eats fish), a Govt employee, with three gifted children, living in a suburb w/ no cable TV, only Blockbuster online so I can order films like Amelie. But. I still don’t own a pea coat, can’t find one at Goodwill and I drive a Toyota but not a Prius.My favorite Fox News commentator is Juan Williams. I like Demotivationals and ironic T shirts. My dog has a sweater but its a hoodie. I don’t buy coffee at Starbucks, I’m to cheap so I french press my organic coffee at home. Oh and I’m typing this on my MacBook Pro that I bought on Craigslist. So What shade of White is that? Do I at least have a fake Tan?
Twilight doesnt count. Its a poorly written book and film which has none of the characteristics a “right” kind of white person should like
“I french press my organic coffee at home. Oh and I’m typing this on my MacBook Pro that I bought on Craigslist.”
I caught seven strands of The AIDS just reading this. You are a ghey white person (while you may not suck actual cocks, you are, effectively, for political purposes, at any rate, a homosexual) and therefore TWKOWP.
Apple products are wholly incompatible with being a Proper White Person, and while good coffee is acceptable and even encouraged among Proper White People, organic coffee – especially fair trade organic coffee – is verboten, and so is being overly fussy; it’s considered ghey.
I read that book when I was a kid! I know how the movie goes, but I read the book in the 1980’s and was written when many of our parents were 5 years old! C’mon, you need to get into your public library or thrift stores to get those 1960’s-era books. You don’t hafta be rich nor white (or in my case, 1/4th American Indian) to read a book! But those $9 movie tickets sure can scare away an audience who aren’t as moneyed or affluent like you, blogger. +
@Kayla: agreed that Twilight doesn’t count. I haven’t read it or seen the film but judging from it’s fans I would agree that it has none of the characteristics a “right” kind of white person should like.

Read more in the blog, this is stuff over 30-under 40 likes. Generation X-ers who were blessed by beau-coup bucks in the 1990’s, while the majority of them are stuck in fast food jobs to pay for astronomical high college costs. What I read are pseudo-liberal/intellectual crap by a closet white racist. I rather watch “District 9” when it comes out, much cooler to see about space aliens living on earth in South Africa. +
“Max” sound so 1980’s-90’s to give your baby that name, so is “Jason”, “Sara(h)”, “Jennifer”, “Jonathan”, “Chandler”, “Cassidy” and “Taylor/Tyler”. Ethnic names are more common in urban areas in the US, thanks to demographic factors to see more Afro-American names, Islamic proscribed names, Spanish first names and Asian syllable-based ones. LoL. +
Yuppies won’t leave Chicago alone won’t they? The “fly-by” states between California and Pennsylvania are dying to see a few yuppies move in their towns (not for the season either) and change the states’ sociocultural character and penetrate by suburban sprawl in the landscape. No…they are against suburbia, they are more for “Exurbia” and neo-urban gentrification within a hour’s drive or flight from work. +
Hbomb, you mean American Indians or Indian-Americans? The white yuppies are obsessed with “unity and diversity” stuff, due to the shame of taking away “Native Americans” cultural rights as white people…and the colonialism against the peoples of India by their fellow white men, the British.
Now for two stereotypical depictions of the two “Indians”:
Stuff east Indians like: Curry in rarely had meals, men in pajamas-like shirts, women in colorful garments, cows walk freely in streets and echo-blasting ancient Indian music.
Stuff Native Americans like: Tobacco peace pipes, banging drums while singing chants, colorful jade-turquoise jewelry, men with long hair and women in hip-hop clothing styles.
“Aryan” East Indians own liquor stores to pay their computer class costs, and “white” Native Americans can be seen in the back of them drinking and smoking weed. +
Since when well-off white people want to live in urban areas? In the 1950’s & 60’s, whites fled them when black people moved right in…and soon the “inner-city” was mostly poor and black. But the suburbs were boring, blend & bastions of bigots created redlining and racial housing discrimination laws lifted in the 1970’s. Soon, the older suburbs invited black people, as well Hispanics and Asians to live in those cookie-cutter homogenious home tracts. By the year 2000, hardly any whites with money dare to live in the post-war suburbs, more racially diverse than what the whites had in mind. The urban core is turning into a white center surrounded by black-brown-yellow-ochre-olive. +
I get it: the WASPs in New York (the island), New Jersey (the shore) or New England, fly their private jets to San Francisco or Seattle, and fly another private jet down to Miami and Chicago, and finally spent the winter in Palm Springs, Las Vegas or Phoenix, then a summer weekend getaway in San Diego, Santa Barbara or Salinas (the city) in them $5 million villas, condos or “time share” apartments. +
Upscale whites talk differently from the rest of us, Oxford-Webster-Harvard educated-church-ran-politically correct English vs. “Deep South/Texan/Okie/Ozark/Hill-billy twang” for the proles who work hard but seen as unable to work hard enough to make the upscale whites more money. +
You know what? Upscale whites think baby showers are for “girls and gay men”, LoL…but oppose gender-stratified social cultural norms. It’s the hippies who invite men over to watch their naked pain-stricken wives give birth in a tub.
The ghettos, trailer parks and barrios are where having 10 babies is seen as a “career option” to obtain welfare checks, because the liberals and conservatives (all whites) alike want higher birth rates and more votes/taxes. +
White Mormons, southern Baptists and Italian Catholics used to be stereotyped for having children until the garage is converted to a baby’s room, but that is “racist, culturally biased and nazistic prejudiced statements” to be replaced with stereotypes of “Brown” Muslims, Black Christians and Latino Catholics…all held baby showers in public parks. +
I remember in 1991 when drinking under age 18 in half the US was legal or permitted inside a parent/guardian’s home. Don’t you love the double-personality of white people with illegal drugs? Only when they know black people use cocaine (originally given to black wokers by white business owners in railroads, cotton packing plants and mine shafts), marijuana and heroin these drugs become illegal and very hard to fully enforce. +
wow, i did buy the Spike Jonze dvd years ago, and i did only watch it once… cosmic…
ok, at first these things were sort of acurate, but now there just stupid, i mean come on, vespa scooters and where the wild things are, i’m white and ive never even met someone with a vespa scooter, or read where the wild things are for that matter. this site used to be funny but now its just plain stupid.
i think this is spot on. it was the same when trainspotting was release, there was a rush to get the book with the original cover of the skulls (which i have of course, years before the film was made) and not the movie cover. This is also the same with albums.
and i do know a few london ponces with scooters.
What white people also like is spotting music heard in TV programmes.
you are the biggest idiot on the internet.
NO we dont want books turned into movies cause we have brains and like to read
I don’t like this guys name, but I agree with him….You are an idiot…perhaps not the biggest on the Internet…I think he gave you way too much credit…but certainly missing the REAL reason why most people…not just WHITE people…hate it when wonderful works of literature (Short or long..for kids…or adults) are turned into Hollywoodized movie failures.
Why read the book or watch the movie when you can play the video game? Same jist.
Check out my booblicious homepage!
I don’t own a vespa scooter, don’t have stocks or bonds in the screwed-up wall street and can’t afford a vacation home in the coasts or the rockies or in Stowe, Vermont. How about renaming the blog “Stuff Stuck-up Snobs like”? J/K…this is the same racist elite black people dread about. +
“which i have of course, years before the film was made”
yeah, sure you did. no one cares about how you “used to do things that were cool before they were cool.” Didn’t it stop being “cool” to brag about how cool you used to be a long time ago?
Idiot. seriously
-starting a blog that creates irrelevant stereotypes that no one’s ever heard of
-creating stereotypes that apply to say, aloof upper-middle class trendy Americans, not whites exclusively
This site is too trite to be offensive, but I hate it nonetheless. Simply because the person writing it does that thing where they clearly think they’re being hilarious, and they try to use a few big words to look like their intelligent AND funny; but in fact, they’re indescribably stupid, and their wit is duller than the plastic spoon they use to stimulate their anus hole.
Your site is retarded. Kill yourself. I’m already ashamed of how much time I’ve wasted typing this.
the product is the ‘where the wild things are’ movie, you fucking retard.
I hate when people try to be witty, and then just make themselves look stupid by not noticing really obvious facts, but they don’t even have the common sense to realize how stupid they look and they keep doing it… vicious cycle 😦
I can’t wait to hear all the talk about “not staying true to the book.”
do you really think that this will happen?
dumbass.
I’m not sure why people see it necessary to bash you, perhaps that should be a post? If you enjoy what you’re doing, then keep it up. I find these exceptionally funny. Of course, I don’t know people to apply every post to. I do know a few that some of the posts do apply to, however. I pity those that talk about how much they hate this site and it’s inaccuracies when clearly this isn’t meant to be taken literally… and they can’t hate it too horribly as they are “wasting their time” reading and posting about it. It’s about time white people and well everyone learn to laugh at racism…. it loses it’s power when it’s no longer taken seriously.
It’s funny how you say you hate it when people write like they think they are “being hilarious, and they try to use a few big words to look like they’re intelligent” and then you do the exact same thing.
By the way for someone as intelligent as you, you incorrectly used “their” instead of “they’re” and unnecessarily used a semicolon.
Holy cow … y’all need to get a grip, take ourselves a little less serious. These are generalities and thus … humorous in their application to all. hyperbole I believe. Maybe even satire … maybe. I don’t believe it’s titled stuff michalelikes.com, so the offense can’t possibly be owned solely by you. Does your desire to announce to the world, said offense, wipe clean the injury you’ve sustained? I think babies do the same thing. Cry aloud to satisfy a need for release 1) because they can’t express it verbally and 2) have no concept of community or 3) the relative place in the world that injury truly belongs.
So funny, I love it! I was actually excited when I heard about this project, but I am only half white.
almost all of them apply to me and my friends, so i guess they apply to someone 🙂 🙂 🙂
ppl are so defensive.. hmm
I would like to point out a new white obsession:
Rachel Maddow.
Make it happen.
stupidpeoplelikethis.blogspot.com
How can you claim that this site “creates irrelevant stereotypes that no one’s ever heard of,” and then go on to say that it is “too trite to be offensive”? Do you even know what the word trite means, you idiot? And then you continue to degrade the site with clever lines like “their wit is duller than the plastic spoon they use to stimulate their anus hole” which undermines the point you were trying to make in the first place. Please go and finish your GED.
obvi written by an upper middle class white person, who wears glasses???
“Wild Things” is just a euphemism for ‘groids.
And we all know where they are.
it seems i have no white friends
People taking offense (srsly wtf?) are, what Lander would call, the “wrong” kind of white people.

Check it out:
Speaking of where the wild things are, you should have seen the wild thing i pulled out of the bar the other night. I litterally pulled her out because she wouldnt fit through the door. So yeah, I guess white people like wild things.
Does this blog ever update?
you seem to have missed the point of the blog in a deep and fundamental way
I am in a bad mood today, so if I have no sense of humor. Please forgive me. I think that you’re a fucking moron.
Why isn’t “Orthodontia” on the list too?
Get there…
Mr. Lander. Remember when you used to be a blogger? Geez.
Alright here is the link to the second trailer…
Does this make me the whitest of all white people?
I’m gay.
this post sums up my life completely.
i am so white.
hm wthell ? white people? yikes
I think PEOPLE hate it when books are turned into movies because directors and producers butcher the books to make it more movie friendly. Look at the Harry Potter movies, they’re pretty good movies, but the books were 100 times better. The Da Vinci Code movie sucked, but it was, too many PEOPLE, one of the best books ever written. The Count of Monte Cristo was a wonderful book, the movie was horrible. I think you get the point. It’s hard to put a 500 page book in a 90 minute time slot, and it shows.
spike jonze, lolllllllll. this is going to be amazing–unless they can’t pack those 40 images into a 150000 frame filmstrip… it is indeed a daunting task.
i think any one who cares enough about the adoption of literature to film to cry about it needs to remove the oversized twig from the confines of their rectum.
if it is so offensive to you, don’t spend the 10 dollars on the movie ticket and you have effectively upheld the sanctity of the original book.
if you watch a motion picture based on literature and expect a verbatim reenactment of the events that happened, you are probably too stupid to read anyway.
need i deal anymore blows to challenging halfwits?
rachael maddow is a man!! and he/she is loose with the facts , arrogant and boring!!!
Another important note- The first trailer had a song from Arcade Fire in it, which is another white person favorite.
hello? white people like the cornhole action. I would say even more than a glory hole. Got gerbils? Got white action.
You must be a sick prick.
Haha, my thoughts exactly.
Even though I like some of their songs…
This blog should be renamed “Stuff Disingenuous White Liberals Like”.
Rude!
Well its pretty wild alright, but wats even wilder is the moon, the sexiest thing on the earth, it gets me soooo hot i cant help but get it on with myself while i watch it up thr in all its glowing glory. Thats right, im white and i enjoy moon fcking
You know Lisa, if you need to spend your time making a mockery of this site, you should find some better things to do with your time. These comments should be used to spark up conversation and intellectual debate. Now, I am not one to hold a grudge with others, being a christian, so I will try and turn this frown of a comment upside down. Maybe you can explain to me some more of what this moon intercourse is all about?
Numbered entries by month have been dropping off at an exponential rate:
46, 32, 15, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 0, 1, 1, 0 (month in progress)
By this pattern I would extrapolate we’ll have 1 post this month, then 1 post in October and then no more. RIP Stuff White People Like…..
Where is Lisa the moon slut? Only a white whore would cream herself over some moon.
this is essentially an ad for an upcoming movie. how much did they pay you to post this?
I have never heard of such a weird thing, and I am a homeless heroin freak. You may just need a savage fuck from homeless gentleman. Although I had found shelter in an unused sewer pipe, if you would like to join me.
This is correct, I work in a book shop in Sydney, and there is palpable relief about Spike Jonze directing the film.
But go back to Bob Marley…I thought “Bob” was always Bob (Dylan).
Is there a set date for the once a month update? I’m tired of checking just to be disappointed.
Be proud, conservatives, Sarah Palin is one of you.
Sarah Palin quotes…
“Nucular.”
Umm, I think it’s nuclear.
“In what respect, Charlie?”
Asked if she agreed with Bush doctrine
“As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?”
FAIL
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending soldiers out on a task that is from God. That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
One word: WACKO!
Yeah, because white people like C.Lander always is working. Try to e-mail him (no answer all year), his cell (always sent to message machine) and don’t ask his wherebouts from his family. Once-a-month updates, he’s getting tired of the blog and the BS he receives on it. +
Wow, apparently I have no white friends at all. This is tragic.
This is partly due to their fear that something they love will be made accessible to more people and thus enjoyed by more people which immediately decreases the amount of joy a white person can feel towards the original property.
Ghostworld is an excellent example.
I couldn’t agree more chip.
White people are loving the hip new blog forty fisheggs.
Another post….White people think there is always a motive behind blogs which are meant to poke fun.
I watched the trailer, it was kind of cool in the same way most trailers are, even for bad films, but I don’t get why it made my brother, who is like me only with a higher testosterone level, cry. indie music and hand held camera=tears in a white boy’s eyes or what? I even enjoyed the book, but conspicuously absent from the trailer was my favorite Wild Thing, Aaron, or the one who looks like a dinosaur with dreadlocks.
how about “stuff college educated nerdy white people in minneapolis” like?
ha ha ha ha….so funny!

This blog is made of so much win haha.
I’m latin, but I still look white. And this is soooooo true haha.
I have a european friend, not only does she critize the movie, but the book itself sometimes lol.
I’ll be visiting more often.
Not only one of the greatest children’s books of all time, but one of the greatest “white people” directors of all time, and my personal favorite. Everybody should check out the dvd compilation of his work, especially the doc. of fatlip.
Anyone remember Levar Burton of PBS kids show ‘Reading rainbow’ in the 1980s/’90s? He encouraged kids of all races to read, though all watched him on TV. What can we do to prevent kids’ books from becoming movies in the future? Don’t read or watch TV. +
Lisa, you spoke to a pyschiatrist about your luna-philia? OMG … blame it on a kids’ book, and get some moralist crusader in the Westboro Baptist church to burn this book. Parents heed with caution, esp. the white ones. +
What other children’s books are sacred to white people?

Second Track from The Litchis
There is one blog entry missing, on thing that white people totally like: getting all upset about this blog here 🙂
Ben
Here’s a blog entry about SWPL’s and spirituality:
SWPL’s and Traditional Religion
Are you kidding? The number one entry for this blog should just be a link pointing to itself. In fact, I would be amazed if it didn’t turn out that a white guy writes this blog. Hipster irony can always ALWAYS get more meta.
UPDATE watched the second trailar and just found out they changed Aaron’s name to Judith and he’s a girl in the movie. WTFF???Whiteboyrage!
where is dinner parties????????
Rule for white cinema in general: hand-drawn title/credit text will, regardless of quality will not only generate obscene amounts of box office revenue for a film (I stress the word ‘film’ as opposed to ‘movie’), but will lead critics to describe it as, “quirky,” “off-beat,” “refreshing,” or “Michael Cera’s best performance to date.”
?
I’m saying that the person who writes this blog is also a hipster neo-yuppie douchebag who thinks he’s self-aware (and therefore that he has escaped) because of his ability to conflate his asinine peer group with “white people” generally AND that this blog is overwhelmingly liked both by the people he actually seeks to mock and the people he accidentally mocks by way of that conflation.
Dave, he readily admits that he mostly wrote this blog about himself and his circle of friends. He doesn’t hide this fact. I don’t see what the problem is. Comedians have made fun of themselves for as long as comedians have been around. In fact it’s the only way comedians get away with these kinds of observations. If a hipster was writing You might be a Redneck instead of a redneck, that hipster would just seem classicist.
Regardless Dave, who the freak cares, it’s funny. That’s all I care about.
Although I admit this particular entry fell kind of flat for me!
Classical hipsterdom is the way to go IMO…none of this modernist shit.
“Michael Cera’s best performance to date.” – lol
Michael Cera’s is THE white actor. Parker Posey used to be THE white actress. Who is it now?

hit counters.
I think they should have the How White Are You quiz on here that they diid on Alexa Chung, but with more questions
Of course the writer of this blog is white. It’s sort of ironic. If he wasn’t then millions of people would call him racist and this website would be ruined, but because he is white everyone loves him and probably gives him ideas. Not to mention he probably just thinks about what he and all of his white friends like just to make the blog.
This isn’t necessarily true. For example, the two most popular book-turned-movie franchises (that I can think of), The Twilight Saga and Harry Potter Series. I’m a HUGE fan of the Twilight Saga and so are my close friends. When we kearned that they were turning our beloved saga into a movie, we screamed and jumped up and down and basicaly threw a party. haha 🙂 This may be different just considering how popular the books are or that I just have that much faith in the movie companies. I was; however, a smidge disappointed by the outcome of the movie.
Funny. Funny. Funny.
Stuff White People Like: The Movie Documentary
Coming to a cinema near you. 🙂
I check your blog every so often. Nice work, but it’s starting to get repetitive.
THIS BLOG IS OFFICIALLY DEAD. DEAD.
Um…I’m the only one who posted on my wall about Where The Wild Things Are. About half of my friends are white, and I’m very much AA. Pass.
hahaha.. what the hell is that?
White people will love the Where the Wild Things Are movie as long as it does moderate to zero box-office. If it’s a breakout hit, forget about it. Same thing as indie music.

And you’ve got Joe Biden.
You posted it 10 times, we get it already and I looked at it: not bad, but she’s not gonna go superstar. See her on the next season of “American Idol” or “America’s got talent”. +
Who are you and where do you come from? Your writing is mediocre at best, more like a ramble of insults that fail to be clever than an article. I don’t know what your point is (that all white people are pompous and superficial and prideful? that we are all the same? that we hate things on principle whether they are enjoyable or not?) or why it is noteworthy enough for you to want to share a racist generalization, but it pissed me off so now you have a response, which I suppose was the point. Really, now, poking people for a reaction should be left behind in grade school. If you honestly think these things then your world must be a very small place. And if you are bull-shitting and deluded into thinking you are funny let me help you step down off that there pedestal; I think it’s too big for you. I was looking for info about a movie and I got a page full of crap instead.
LOL Why are you saying this is racist? I read this column regularly and I’m always amazed by the occasional dumbass whiner like you. You complain about this being racist, well, NEWS FLASH: White America has been racist since… forever. Minorities get shitty treatment in all media and everyday life, but when someone pokes some humor at you all you can do is be a baby about it.
Shove it and shut up.
Maybe there should be a column about how white people whine all the time. YES!
I think Dale wears Ed Hardy.
It’s just a joke. Laugh at yourself.
Hey mandy, don’t go bullying the spies girls in the locker hallways (a character from ‘Totally Spies’ cartoon show). #129 should be about watching cartoons like ‘Dr. Katz’, ‘The Critic’, anything on adult swim and classic black & white Looney tunes/Disney 10-min. shorts. They will pay $3000 for a part of animation layout from a full-feature animated film! White people love “l’arte neuve”. +
Haha, there is! http://www.whitewhine.com
Totally Spies the film, movie trailer. The blond girl is Clover, the redhead is Sam and the black-haired gal is Alex. I think the cartoon series is somewhat awesome, that’s just me.
Funny, I love this blog! Keep writing. You get it.
Thanks tori, we all heard of a sweet Jewish wine: “I vanna mink ‘coooat, a ‘condooh in Moy-yam-meh (Miami) und a diemand wing. Oy vey.” and a black wine: “Whitey always put me down”. Wines and whines go well with Cheese. You want cheese with your w(h)ine? +
Nice catch, Hola.
I don’t even know what this is. I was too busy not being white enough i guess, but seriously. I have no idea what this is. I guess you need a blog about rich white people, and right around the poverty line white people. I fall into the latter.
Hey Cosk, check out http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com, it was totally inspired by SWPL and has already been noticed by some pretty big names around the Internet like Guy Kawasaki
Yet another great post.
If you guys out there are looking for another humor site to read, check out http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com. It’s similar to the Onion.
White people are lots of fun and enjoy camping. Look even my name is White. Someone has a sense of humor somewhere.
not to mention bradford coz of deerhunter is contributing.
As a white person, I nearly got myself branded the wrong kind of white person by instituting a new personal policy. Since the movie versions of books I like usually are not as good as the books, I made a personal policy to see the movie before reading the book whenever possible. I think this is a clever way to avoid disappointment, but when I mention it to my white wife and white friends, they look at me like I have three heads. So, the columnist here is right, and I probably need to revise my behavior so I’m no longer the wrong kind of white person.
I do that too! I see the movie before reading the book to avoid disappointment! It’s good to step out of the box 🙂
I never cared for this book. I was partial to James & The Giant Peach, and I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. You are wrong.
Can’t wait! I shaved my pussy just for the movie. See pics in my homepage!
I like white people, especially the women.
I don’t know about this movie.
I can’t quite piss myself over Jonze and Eggers.
I like Catherine Keener. She’s a white woman. A cougar. Grrrrrr
Yes! Thank you. So true. These posts are so hilarious. They’re usually either pretty true or really true. So either embrace your whiteness or change it if bothers you so much that others notice it and want to laugh about it. And if it doesn’t apply to you, then there’s no reason to complain!
Yep, I have to agree. Oh and I love the book – no movie can ever replace it!
i like to drink cat urine!
I know that I am a loser and nobody respects my opinion. For the last couple days, I have been stealing enigma, uh huh, louiecoolgato, etc, etc. I have single handedly ruined a blog site with my ignorance and stupidity. I have no life, I just sit here in my moms basement trying to think of clever things to say, but I never do. I hate my life, I secretly wish I were born black and I also wish I voted for Obama. I apologize Mr Enigma for smearing your good name, I will attempt to not do it again, but you know, sometimes, idiots like myself can’t help doing the things we do. I’m like a mad dog, I just…..do. Please forgive me for making a fool out of myself, all of you on this site, I apologize.
I’m white.
I want to see this movie.
You speak only the truth.
this was my favorite book in pre-school so i have to see it. i guess my ex was really white. he used to call himself “frodo” and would tell me i looked “elvish” and it would upset me b/c i’d be like “what? i’m an elf? isn’t that a troll?” and he’d try and explain to me what an elf was and by then it was too late. i was mad b/c he called me a troll. after lord of the rings came out in a movie, he divorced the name of frodo. “it’s not the same since the movie came out…” he said. i was confused. but now i’m not. of course he named his cat emo! what a white guy.
Love your blog, and agree with a lot of what you said about the objections to the movie, but I have to clarify my own objections to the movie. Turning a book about a little boy having a normal little tantrum and going to bed without supper and visiting his imaginary friends into a movie that is at the same time angst-ridden and maudlin is just wrong. Some kids books shouldn’t be made into movies– see “Cat In the Hat.”
Hello everybody, I am the asshole using enigmas name to type ignorant
The person who made me watch the trailer and has been excited over this for months is latino. My white friends could not care less.
Did I just divide by zero?
I am white. I read this book to my white son all the time. I love it. I loved the play. I can’t wait for the movie!
However, I received no notice from friends when the trailer was released. I have lots of white friends, none of which are as white as I am, but I failed to post as well.
Love your blog.
Keep up the good work!
I too am very white, but none of my white friends told me about it. I saw the preview on television. I need to have a talk with my white friends!
.You want funny?
http://www.brainbooger.com/2/post/2009/09/i-love-little-girls-they-make-me-feel-so-vamp.html
Does anybody really give a shit about a movie?
I think it also needs to be mentioned that the trailer has an Arcade Fire song in the background, increasing the value exponentially, and setting the right-kind-of-white-person tone. That detail was what fully assuaged my own fears of book-to-movie peril and made me say “ok, this will be great”. I’m psyched.
p.s. Your blog is incredible.
You’re close, but actually I’m upset about the Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs movie, not the Wild Things movie.
I am white and middle class. I saw the preview for this today.
This and Toy Story 3 (plus the double feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D!) have made me very, very excited.
I will now go inform all of my friends so that they know they have a white friend. 🙂
All I can say is classic =)
that would be on the list “stuff white trash people like” haha i want to create my own version. i.e. crystal meth, 64 oz soda cups, light beer etc.
This website is truly genius.
Check our site out, all of the games are awesome!
This is the coolest site ever those games are so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way, white people (most of us are childless cohabiting gay-and-gray couples seek to adopt a poodle) rather watch the film “Capitalism” by Michael Moore. Isn’t it great all the money they earn is slipping away in the recession? We’re all gonna be equals, no rich or poor class…it all starts with you, Mr. Lander. Gimme some of that cash, white boy! +
I love having gay sex with my servants, and burning down orphanages! I write for http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com it’s a very unoriginal/unclever site. My penis is less than two inces long, and I have trouble getting it up!
I found this blog on http://www.DanielDickey.com and it is defiantly just as funny!!
Lets remember that everything in the article is not to be taken so literally. Of course you didn’t get FaceBook messages about the movie. It’s just humorous ponder the concept.
Obviously?
I have no white friends, I only got messages about the new Trailer Park Boys Countdown To Liquor Day movie preview. At least the FREAK has trailer trash friends.

We endured your stupidity for far too long and now it’s time to PAY WHAT YOU OWE!

haha. Check out this funny new site http://makefunofmyfriends.com
hilarious and yet so true. I love u white ppl haha, but really, race doesn’t mean shit, we’re all human. but It IS uncanny how many caucasians love bob marley or mexican food…. :p coincidence? I think not
Well I have to say that a white person did not write this piece. There is no question about this. should it mater. Hey after all if a white person were to write this piece about their counter parts they would be considered a racist, and this is not allowed today’s biased society. (unless they are of the African American decent, Then that would be O.K!) …………ANY PERSON REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE ……..(in most cases) would be UPSET! (Unless they cannot read!) And this would not be the fault of the white race! Yes whites love illustrations, but white’s also like to read. (Does most of your race read? or do you all look at the pretty pictures?) You insult your own kind numb nuts. Anyway I am sure Dike Lee or what ever you call him would F up any novel he tried to direct because in my opinion and many others he is a no talent hack people just keep holding on too (Hmmmmm I wonder why?). Reading a book can open your mind to endless imagination,not just a director’s perspective. So am I ashamed to be white or have white friends….NOT AT ALL!!!!! You my friend are a joke. Why do things with some people have to come to race? Lord knows why. Good luck with your life anyway your gonna need it.
There has been numerous reports about comments coming from you and your other aliasis’. Please clean up your act or we will be forced to ban you from this site!

I think most white people, like me, tend to appreciate Bob Marley because he was one of the very few intelligent and PEACEFUL black people in the world. Like a black version of John Lennon.
As to the Mexican food, I would have to say that whites like the culinary contributions of all of the Central and South American cultures because it is the only the of any value that has been contributed to rest of the world by them. Unless you want to include cocaine and dictators.
Oh Phil,
What a gross generalization. A quick search on Google alone would yield thousands of results pertaining to the influence of Central and South American culture on the world at large.
Later!
“Yes whites love illustrations, but white’s also like to read.”
Cracker, you crack me up.
phil, as a white man, have the nerve to talk about peace and intelligence in the same sentence with white people. ha! Don’t make me gag, white man.
Now let’s look at recent history, say the last 100 years, and see who is the most violent race, shall we?
WWI- I do believe it was started by WHITE PEOPLE, who killed tens of millions of WHITE and non-white people..
WWII-I do believe it was started by WHITE PEOPLE, who killed tens of millions of WHITE and non-white people. And the pitiful thing about this is that it only took less than 20 years after a total world war for WHITE PEOPLE to plunge the world into ANOTHER total WORLD war…
Vietnam/Korean War-started by WHITE PEOPLE, attacking non-white people…
Iraq/Afghanistan/Middle East, etc-Wars financed and/or involving white people attacking a non-white population…
Add up in just the last 100 years how much blood was shed by WHITE PEOPLE, and you can easily understand that I find it extremely humorous to hear WHITE PEOPLE talk about intelligence and peace..
Fight tha power….
WELL, cracker (HEHE),
WHEN YOUR OBVIOUS RACE ENDURES OVER 250 YEARS OF SLAVERY, DECULTURIZATION, AND PATRONIZATION TO NAME JUST A FEW THINGS, THAT IS WHEN YOU WILL BE SOCIALLY ABLE TO DO THE THINGS THAT OTHER RACES (NAMELY AFRICAN AMERICAN AS YOU ABOVE MENTIONED) CAN DO.
To seriously penalize an entire race of people for the mistakes of people in the past is absolutely retarded. That’s like punishing your grandkids for the stupid things your children do. Yes culture affects people, but such a thing as individuality does exist. Or are we allowed to sit here and classify you as some dumb farmworker with no education, who can’t speak for shit and likes fried chicken? Whether or not a person can speak about peace and intelligence and it not be hipocracy doesn’t depend on race or skin color. It should depend on the individual choices that person has made in his/her life. Racism in any form from any race is ignorance and the inability to look at an individual for who they are. You sir are an idiot, not because you aren’t white, but simply because you are an idiot. You say it is funny to hear a white person talk about peace when you yourself succumbs to the temptation of insulting another person the way you do. In what way does that promote any form of peace? Peace constitutes forgiveness as well, as it cannot exist without it.
You dont talk about fight club!
OOOOPS!!!, my bad.
Oh come on, at least 1/3 of the casualties in WWII were inflicted on China by Japan… and modern war casualty estimates include deaths from disease like polio.
There have been numerous wars in China that have killed over 10 million people.
The biggest scoring killer of all time has to be Chinese communist revolutionary Mao, with about 40 million notches on his belt. And these were mostly his own people, far worse than starting a war that eventually claimed millions of lives.
You obviously know zip all about history, because Vietnam and Korea were both started by an INTERNAL CIVIL WAR.
Besides, your argument is silly… of course white armies kill more people, because they are technologically advanced.
Africa is literally CONSTANTLY AT WAR, they’re just no good at it. Shakazulu EXTERMINATED 300 tribes, roughly around the time whites started colonizing Africa. These whites and their technology promptly improved the life expectancy of Africans by a solid 20 years.
If you want to blame whites for the deaths, you also have to credit them with saving lives with medicine, heated homes, emergency services, etc.
However, I think it’s pretty easy for anybody to see who the violent ones are. We all know. Nobody even needs to say it.
Every race has endured slavery. Irish and Scottish were originally brought to America as…guess what…slaves.
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08132b.htm
Millions of white slaves were worked to death in the past century alone, in places like Ukraine and Russia. Jews have had it the worst, and yet they dominate universities, high-paying jobs and scientific journals in virtually every country.
“Deculturization” is not a real word, no culture avoids change…unless you’re saying African society had already reached its pinnacle. Tell you what, you want African culture returned to how it was before whites and Asians “ruined” it, you can no longer use the following inventions:
-money
-bricks
-lumber
-the wheel
-electricity
-medicine
-written language
-agriculture
-rule of law
-mathematics
CS says: “Africa is literally CONSTANTLY AT WAR, they’re just no good at it. Shakazulu EXTERMINATED 300 tribes, roughly around the time whites started colonizing Africa. These whites and their technology promptly improved the life expectancy of Africans by a solid 20 years…”
CS tends to overlook what whites did to the African continent: which was to exterminate one quarter of the continent’s population between 1876 and 1912, when the european nations sliced up the continent between themselves and literally enslaved and oppressed any africans who got in their way. The technology you speak of was lubricated by african blood.
The definitive book on this subject is “The Scramble for Africa: The White Man’s Conquest of the Dark Continent from 1876-1912” by Thomas Pakenham. And before you automatically write off the book as the works of a ‘black’ writer, I will ease your fears by saying that Pakenham is a British Historian who wrote extensively on whites encroachment on the African continent.
And to quote you CS, “I think it’s pretty easy for anybody to see who the violent ones are. We all know. Nobody even needs to say it.”
I’ll say it: WHITE PEOPLE.
Fight tha Power…
For white people to perpetuate a myth that black people are inherently violent is also absolutely retarded.
IF white people insist on speaking against racism ONLY when the racism is directed at white people, THEN I will continue speaking about the sins of white people.
Fight tha Power…
I live in memphis Tennessee and i can tell you first hand that 90% of the crime he is started from black people. Go look at your races statistics. And tell me who’s more violent. And war is human nature buddy.. why don’t you go to Africa and see the villages get burned down and the woman raped daily. OR better yet go to Burma, atleast we “White people” can run a country, you don’t see people going around cities in large armys killing and raping and getting away with it
Since when did Memphis, Tennessee, a city that has a long history of being the hotbed of rednecks and racists, became the representation of all of America?
Your town is a typical southern city in which white people create a de-facto segregated city, where the non-whites are restricted to the worst parts of the city (look up ‘redlining’) and have the fewest opportunities for jobs. So what do you have? Cops collecting stats that reflect what white people tend to believe: that blacks are more violent.
Meanwhile out in your white suburbs, whole white families are wiped out by family members, crystal meth is rampant (but we know meth heads don’t go to jail in the same numbers as blacks because they are white), white boys regularly rape white girls, but they use date rape drugs (but we don’t hear about this because middle class whites don’t want their shame to be seen).
Finally, as for your statement, “we white people run a country”, you are correct, but it is a black man who is the leader of this white country who was elected to clean up the mess that white men created. Ironic isn’t it?
Fight tha Power…
As a person of mixed ethnicity, I grew up with a unique perspective caught as it were between the cultures of my African-American father and his relatives and my white mother and her relatives. There were definitely bad seeds on both sides, but bay far I saw more violence and more overt racism from my father’s side of the family. Very few of my relatives on my father’s side finished school or made it our of their teens without becoming parents. They used white racism as a crutch to explain away every personal failure. Performed poorly at school? Racist teachers. Didn’t get a job or were fired from work? Racist bosses. Arrested for some criminal activity? Racial profiling. It was never the blame of their own poor choices and lack of initiative. This is endemic of the African-American community as a whole.
Well thank you for your sell out comments Rhyan. Next time when you walk into a Sears in a white area and the cops follow you around, you had better have your white mother near to vouch for you because YOU are part of that endemic in the African American community.
Oh, you did not get the memo? Well let me tell you about it. You are considered AFRICAN AMERICAN in these United States if your either of your parents are black.
Talking negatively about your father’s side is just telling white folk what a pitiful BLACK person YOU ARE because to them, you are just another BLACK MAN.
Fight tha Power…
Wow…. this is SO me and my husband. This is exactly what we did when we found out they were making it into a movie.. first we shrugged, but when we found out it was SJ directing, then when we saw the trailer, oh man… we were stoked.
And yes.. we own the Director’s Series DVD…
damn you, SWPL… you’re too good.
Ounce again. you are wrong! Memphis is on the top ten most dangerous cities, and white people are a minority here,, the city is all black and latino. And if we never brought you guys over here you’d be over in Africa dying from aids and worshiping a stick figure ( White Christians introduced you to religion, and educated you) and what about all the terrible “white people” that go out of country to Africa, Burma and other third world countries bringing aid and helping people out? iv never seen any black religious group do anything but complain about how they are being “oppressed by the white man” Seriously you guys have equal rights in everything ( im not including all black people in this by the way, I’m not racist like publicenemy ) you tried to be able to go to school for so so long and now 70%+ blacks drop out of school.. Get out of your little fantasy world and look at some statistics. and seriously youre on a website that makes fun of white people. this is 2009 not the 1800s. And you wernt the only ones who got it bad, im native American and i don’t complain! And black people even sold slaves.. black people aren’t the only people that were slaves buddy.. Youre just an idiot and WANT to get offended
Just read another riotous parody of Stuff White People Like at FreedomHaters.org.
Their SWL entries include: Sickle Cell Anemia, A Thesaurus, and the IFC sketch group The Whitest Kids U Know. Had me in stitches!

Did only white people read this book as kids and read it to our kids?!
I (am white) (sort of) and can’t wait till it comes out.
It is true that people (only white?) cringe when they make a great book into a movie though…

Once again you fail to tell the whole story. Memphis Tennessee is majority WHITE. The latest racial make up of the Memphis Metropolitan area is the following from the Census Bureau:
As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 1,205,204 people, 448,473 households, and 312,422 families residing within the MSA. The racial makeup of the MSA was 52.88% White, 43.52% African American, 0.21% Native American, 1.32% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 1.07% from other races, and 0.96% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.36% of the population.
You are a typical wanna-be white person who tries to twist the statistics in order to justify your weak arguments. You are such a Clarence Thomas negro that you would do anything to suck up to white people in order to be accepted.
BTW Rhuday, you are STILL a BLACK MAN.
Fight Tha Power…
Hahaha…. yeah the old Uncle Tom thing. Never gets old does it? Honestly you would think after all these years the black community would think of new material.
As for me, I am not BLACK and neither is Barack Obama. We am neither black nor white. We are unique individuals. Your sad attempt to co-opt mixed ethnicity persons into your group is proof you lack individuals of significant intelligence, success and character of your own to tout as examples of what African-Americans can aspire too.
However, seeing as how the most recent examples of the African-American community on a national scale have been Serena Williams (I’ll shove this ball down your throat!) and Kanye West, stage jacking a 19-year old girl, I really can’t blame you for trying.
You sad little person.
Public Enemy is very racist and argues just to read his own comments. This is why the AA community will forever be mired in the ghetto, persons like PEII who wear permanent blinders to the moral and social degradation of the community, while leaning on the myth of continued white oppression to excuse a lack of effort to pick themselves up and advance as the Latino and Asian American communities have done in the past several decades. Undoubtedly PEII will continue to post counter after counter, ending with the title to his favorite hip hop tune (he can pretend he’s a revolutionary, yay!).
You know, when i think of PEII I think of Eddie Murphy’s comedic black power revolutionary character from SNL who did those hilarious “Moments in Black History” skits. Lol.
Me and my white family will be at the movie on opening day.
WOW…I HAD to reply to this…it was just too good…
But let me preface with: I am White. Irish and Catholic, in fact.
The article you reference in no way indicates that the Irish or Scottish were brought here as SLAVES, so your “evidence” does not in any way support your point. So I wouldn’t do THAT again in the future….really, they were just thrown out of the British Isles by Cromwell, and that only lasted a few years. Sure it was no picnic, but you can HARDLY compare that to outright centuries-long slavery. And the Jews are also not a worthwhile comparison. As all those who practice the religion are considered “Jewish” despite the fact that they may in no way have any direct RACIAL history with Israelis. Sammy Davis Jr. didn’t really have a deep connection to ancient Jewish slavery, if you get my point…
Secondly…and this is the best part…everything in your list of “inventions” except “electricity” were in fact, not really “inventions” but really just advancements in existing technology…and even if you DID want to call them inventions, they are all -with the exception of electricity – ARAB “inventions” and there is plenty of historical evidence to support the fact that AFRICA actually received many of these advancements BEFORE proto-European cultures did, so bricks, money, lumber, written language, medicine, mathematics, rule of law, agriculture, and yes even the WHEEL were ALL in Africa before white people got their hands on them. In fact, when the Crusades invaded the Middle East, they actually set technology BACK due to the gross amount of history and research being lost when they destroyed libraries throughout the region…
And, “Deculturalization” (watch the spelling, LOL) is a perfectly useful academic phrase. You may not have found it on Dictionary.com, but the term has been in use for years in academic publications…
If you want to argue abstractions, go right ahead to your heart’s content, but you can’t just MAKE UP history to suit you. There are facts. Stick to them.
Rhyan W continues to deny who he is, so I will refresh his memory by quoting him directly:
“As a person of mixed ethnicity, I grew up with a unique perspective caught as it were between the cultures of my African-American father and his relatives and my white mother and her relatives.”
Rhyan is trying his hardest to be a wanna-be white person, when in actuality, he is a BLACK PERSON. If Rhyan knew american history, he would know that to qualify to be black in america all you need is one parent to be black. Your daddy is black, Rhyan, so you are BLACK in America. Stop trying to deny it. And if you are Black in america, white people consider YOU part of the very group that you have so much contempt for.
Be who you are and stop sucking on the white man’s d***. You are black, so is Obama, and every WHITE PERSON will tell it to you in your face.
Fight tha Power you pitiful Clarence Thomas sellout wanna-be.
Last I checked our President was Half black Half white….so technically speaking he is a mixed race president running the white country.
You forgot Plaxico “I Shot Myself” Burress.
I agree with everything thats been said by both Rhuday and Rhyan W. Black Americans are walking cartoon characters with their permanent entitlement mentality. A bunch of grasshoppers fiddling and singing old slave songs and asking for reparations (for what?) while the ants toil and improve themselves all around them.
Other blacks from Africa (such as my new neighbors from Nigeria) disdain Black Americans (I refuse the term African-American as the majority have never set foot on African soil).
Spoiled American blacks want everything served to them on a silver platter and will not work for it. My neighbors have been in America less than 3 years and already have a son in university and own a small business. They work hard and are building their own dreams by the sweat of their hands. Very admirable.
The last time I checked, all you white people called him an African American presidential candidate, and now that he’s won the presidency, he is now Half Black Half White?. The only time I hear ‘mixed’ race from a white person is when they want to get on the bandwagon of success (in this case, a black man who is now the president of the USA).
This mixed race crap is a recent phenomena used by white people to discount what is fact in america:
Black father/Black mother=black baby
Black father/white mother=BLACK BABY
white father /white mother=white baby
white father/black mother=BLACK BABY
The white man made this law, now live with it.
Fight tha Power…
sorry big fred, but you are a typical white guy who feels that blacks have caused you a disadvantage in opportunities in america. Take that self-pity crap to someone who gives a s***.
Black Americans rose thru the ranks of this country INSPITE of racism and attitudes like yours. I don’t need to tell you that you white people looked to a black man to clean up the economic mess you white people created, now do it?
Fight tha Power…
Sorry rhuday, but i am not the one offended, it is YOU who seemed so offended. You can stereotype black people all you want but I have history on my side that says that it is white people who caused most of the troubles in this world the last 100 years.
I do believe you people started not one, but TWO world wars within 20 years? And you call african americans murderous people?
Ha. Don’t make me laugh.
Fight tha Power…
If being a sell out means living in a good neighborhood, having educated children who don’t make me a grandfather by age 40 and not living next door to people like you. I’ll gladly accept the label.
But by all means continue with your ignorant ghetto mentality. The world will always need ditch diggers and janitors.
Lol, okay Shabazz K. Morton. You amuse me.
“And this has been anotha black history moment with Shabazz K. Morton, fight da powa!” *raised fist*
Hahahaha
That was 9 years ago buddy… 9 years ago Memphis wasnt as nearly as ghetto as it is now
Public.. it’s funny how you talk about how bad everyone else is but you haven’t really said anything good about black people..youre just saying white people are worse.. you my friend are the kind of person who makes Martin Luther King turn in his grave. Now let’s stop talking about the color of peoples skin, instead let’s talk about how stupid public is
Actually I’m Samoan heritage.
My grandparents arrived in California with nothing and managed to become successful through hard work. They didn’t use racism as a crutch to live a defeatist life, relying on government handouts and entitlement programs unlike blacks.
It may surprise you to know, most other race groups in America are just as tired of black’s continual self-pity and race card playing as white Americans are.
But I digress.
Someone needs to make a blog “Stuff Black People Like”
Thing #1 Pretending to be victims
And as has been said Obama is not black.
You’re actually sort of pathetic.
Rhyan W sounds like the typical self hating black person. You are young but you will learn when you get older BLACK MAN.
Fight tha Power…
Rhyan W is the same as rhuday. Typical confusion of identity when a black person thinks they are white. Pitiful.
As for your statement that the Census on Memphis is 9 years old; obviously you did not know that the census is taken every10 years (as in 1990, 2000 and the next in 2010—BUT, it is now hard to take a census in white areas when we read how white folk in your area kill census takers, eh?).
And for your statement on talking about people skin color, I will let Malcolm X comment express what I feel about race:
“I’ve never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. Usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. The white man’s primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. The white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. The white man’s interest is to make money, to exploit.” —Malcolm X
Fight tha Power…
Malcolm X, yeah there’s a proud figure. A convicted felon and racist who in the end wasn’t even welcome amongst his own Black Muslim brothers. I’d be careful who I idolized and quoted, Public Enema. Maybe Flava Flav next time. “Yeaaaaaaah Boi!!!!!!” At least he has the amazing viking helmet going for him.
*sniff*, scuse me while I wipe a tear from my eye Big Fred, I was sooo deeply moved by what you wrote. I really could give a frogs fat ass about your Samoan heritage. I also could care less about your nigerian neighbors. Now, for the love of all that is wild, shut the hell up. Intelligent you are not. I seen more profound things floating in the toilet after I took a dump than reading your bull. Change your name to big bore.
Looks like more than just wild things are here, I see dumbass ‘zebra’ sell outs here too. Wow Rhyan W, with all the monkey jokes and anti black President hooplaa going on, me thinks it is safe to say, white america thinks Obama as BLACK. As for you, I will take your word on it, you are not black, you’re an IDIOT. Looks like the ‘MAN’ shoved his balls down YOUR throat. Get a clue aunt tom. You have to have BALLS to be uncle.
Last I checked, you were a dumbass. Well, I see things have’nt changed much since then.
Hey big BORE, do you where a viking helmet with your chin strap when you sit in the back of the short bus. Wipe the slobber from your mouth you retard. Repeat out loud and in a public place.
“I AM WETODD DID
SOFAKING WETODD DID”
Say it with pride my Somoan dumbass. Everyone will understand.
This is why YOUR President is dominating in the White House Rhyan W. Say what you want, when you talk about Black, don’t forget that little fun fact.
“You know, when i think of PEII I think of Eddie Murphy’s comedic black power revolutionary character from SNL who did those hilarious “Moments in Black History” skits. Lol.”
That’s cute son, but what do you think of when you think of DARKNESS.
I know what you think oreo, you FEAR it. Take your zebra butt back to Kansas. You know how we real DARKIES get with you sell out suckas.
ALWAYS BET ON BLACK
That’s exactly what I was going to not talk about.
I’m surprised that this article didn’t mention at all how an Arcade Fire (one of the whitest bands in existence) song, off of the album Funeral (through its slipcase packaging, being the debut album, being on an indie label, and scoring a 9.7 on Pitchfork, one of the whitest albums of all time) was never mentioned as a reason why white people like this movie. Maybe it’s because the song is in the trailer and white people don’t watch TV.
And for the record, “Wake Up” (the song used in the trailer) is an amazing song, and Funeral is in my top 10 albums of the decade. All races and creeds should listen to it.
And by the way, Karen O also rocks all forms of face.
Black history month may be taken down by the increasing criticism in recent years of why African-Americans must have only a month to focus on a people based on skin color? Yes, our president is African-American and so are among the top athletes, actors or musicians. Africa itself is the founder of mankind’s multiple civilizations, although Asian, European and American Indian peoples contributed or influenced each other for many eons. It’s not just about “white”, “black” or “American” we’re living in a global civilization. The problem is the power holders are western European white men or the U.S.A. has the world’s biggest economy, while Sub-saharan Africa further declines in third world status. +
Pay what you OWE Michael D. You owe an apology and we expect you to pay up. Pretty soon, I just may use your lil ‘real michael d’ name just for kicks and giggles. Pay up son, time is running out.
Wow-
GREAT observation. We white people get loads of e-mails about a movie about a children’s book being made simply because it has an arcade fire song in the trailer, and that we did not know about the movie untill we recived said e-mails. Why do white people consider TV unacceptable yet consider spending hours a day on their Mac checing e-mail to be a very important cornerstone to daily life?
Hey man,
Lets be fair here. Crime (particuarly violent crime and theft) is an economic issue, not a racial one. The reason it seems like most crime is commited by ethnic minorities is because the majority of the minorities are in a lower income group.
If you were to go into an area with a lot of poor white people, there would be just as much crime as in an area with poor minorities.
People of all races and creeds are capable of being peaceful or being violent.
VIVA PEACE, LOVE AND INDIE MUSIC PLAYED ON ipods!!!
Indeed, the only reason I was forced to watch the trailer was because of the song: Wake Up by Arcade Fire, which everybody knows is a favorite of white people, though kept secret so we can maintain the fact that we knew everything before anybody else knew it.
Hey Cracker, when you are done feeling sorry for yourself, there is a clean up in aisle four. Look moron, let us take a step into the mind of a dumbass redneck. first you say…..
“Well I have to say that a white person did not write this piece”
Well DUH captain obvious. I will do those who don’t know a favor and show exactly what you are bellyaching about.
“j to the k on September 19, 2009 at 11:47 pm
hilarious and yet so true. I love u white ppl haha, but really, race doesn’t mean shit, we’re all human. but It IS uncanny how many caucasians love bob marley or mexican food…. :p coincidence? I think not”
Somehow, J to the k struck a nerve with you crackah with his inflamitary words. How dare he say such things. You are a racist, PERIOD. You are also a dumbass, DOUBLE PERIOD. And for the record, if you are going to yack about someone reading a book, you should take your own advice and learn to spell. Nothing worse than a dumbass cracker judging someone and yet, they can’t do the very thing they are judging someone for. Get a grip loser.
PS….. the brothas name is SPIKE LEE, get it right mofo. And YOUR President is OBAMA, a black man with a black name and wife. Sweet dreams beeeeotch.
Always bet on black.
Michael d., shut the hell up. Do YOU even know what your talking about?
That song SUCKS!!!! That album SUCKS!!!!!!! And that movie SUCKS EVEN MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah, the book SUCKS too!!!!
I live in Austin…I can’t even begin to imagine how many little Alexander’s will be out on Halloween (I considered it, haha).
Wow did you seriously just say
few intelligent and peaceful black people in the world.
You are so ignorant. You are stuff white people don’t like
Yeah I’m just gonna stick to reading the actual posts now.
I’ve had enough of this racist ass mumbo jumbo.
Everybody is lazy and stupid and ignorant.
The end.
I love Where The Wild Things Are, great book and yes, I’m white as they get. I even work at a drug rehab it’s a very white thing to do to help people who need it.
I have also noticed that white people all seem to read the same books. Almost as if you are not cool unless you have read at least the top ten.
I feel as though this is aimed at smug white people. I also feel as though I’m in the middle of this, I do a few of the things on this list, but a lot of them I completely disagree with. This is one of them and for the record I did read fight club after 1999, but that’s probably because I was only 6 years old in 1999.
You forgot to mention the utter shame of reading an movie-edition book, meaning a book with either:
a) a “soon to be a major motion picture” signifier, or
b) altered cover art tied into said movie (pictures of actors, movie poster as cover, etc.).
White people will do anything to avoid this. I speak from experience.
WTF? Not true… not true! LOL
I found out about this on TV and had no idea it was even a book. No one sent me a link to a trailer. So… I have no white friends and I’m not a white person, theoretically? Yay! Hahaha.
And the Polar Express Movie totally sucked. It absolutely failed to capture the essence of the book.
I read that book to my children every Christmas Eve until that movie came out. Now I can barely even think about the book without picturing Tom Hanks’ big animated head.
No, so true. At least here in Portland. If I can’t find a non-movie tie-in copy, then I probably won’t buy it, and if I do I will hide it under my bed.
So what are you? Are you in america? How could you not know about it?
I’m Irish (born and raised) and a year after I moved here (2001) my (white) girlfriend insisted I read it. Like it was some magical sacred tome. I thought it was ok. But then a few weeks ago I saw a poster in the movie theatre with one of the furries looking out from behind a tree and I stopped dead in my tracks. Then I saw the trailer and I FREAKED OUT!! Then I heard Spike Jones was directing it and I went BANANAS!! A friend has already sent me the soundtrack and the movie hasn’t even opened yet. WTF? I think people are missing the point here – all this stuff is WHAT AMERICANS LIKE. I suppose I’m a total yank now. My Irish friends are completely befuddled when I bang on about this stuff. Oh well, sure its all a bit of fun no?
I’m in Canada. Never heard about it in my life.
I have no idea why the article failed to mention the fact that Karen O composed all the music for the movie.
White people can’t get enough of that lady.
who?
I just remembered that I posted the trailer to this on facebook a couple of days after it was made available.
Snap.
Good point…I do enjoy her…i hate my white self for being so predictable
ROFL! i saw greatt post about thhis.
http://like2be.blogspot.com/2009/10/open-letter.html
when I think of white people, I think of stores like urban outfitters and american apparel. And of coarse, urban outfitters has a section about some hipster artist that did custom costumes of characters in the movie. Not that I don’t think it’s cool, it’s just funny.
white people also like to try to be clever by making trite observations based on faulty presuppositions, pretending to have real insight, and creating false dichotomies of cool.
I love how “stuff white people like” is stuff anyone could like.
All kids loved this book. Who is this site to say only white people like this sort of thing? If someone likes camping that means they’re outdoorsy, not white. If someone likes riding on segways that means they like to travel ridiculously, not white. Get yourselves some lives.
Everyone liked this book.
IT’S FUNNY, PEOPLE. THIS BLOG IS MEANT TO BE IRONIC AND FUNNY. YOUR OBSERVATIONS ARE NO LESS TRITE AND I AM PRESUPPOSING THAT YOU ARE THE DEFINITION OF A FALSE DICHOTOMY OF COOL. Suck it.
Then again, I enjoy making fun of white hipsters, and sort of am one at the same time, so this blog is essentially targeted at me.
Job well done 🙂
“The other problem is that these announcements create a ticking time bomb where by a white person must read the book in ADVANCE of the release of the movie. This is done partly so that they can engage in the popular activity of complaining about how the movie failed to capture the essence of the book.”
I am white and I do this! Just found your blog and am loving it!!!
Tiffany
Well I think that your equally as uncool cause you like to hide behind your vocabulary.
I don’t think my observation was trite at all. Do you know what trite means? White people like looking up words they don’t know in Wikipedia.
And how am I hiding behind my vocabulary? I’m not hiding. I’m writing a post that many, many people can read and respond to however they like. How is that hiding? If I were hiding, I would just sit here in my American Eagle pajamas with little bananas on them and silently hate you from afar.
Do you think a word like “dichotomy” is big and frightening? It’s only 9 letters! If I wanted to hide, I would have thrown a really big word in there like “triskaidekaphobia” or “transatlanticism” (double white points for that reference cha ching). Those words would be way better cover.
This blog is lame. I’m going to go hang out with some black people.

They are making an hour and a half (or longer) movie based on a 14ish page book. Thank you for making a mockery of every child’s imagination.
No word of a lie, when I saw the trailer last week on tv for the first time, I found the You Tube click and emailed it to a few friends, extremely excited about it…
…then at dinner on the weekend, somebody told me about this website and how white people like to forward movie clips of Where The Wild Things Are to each other…I thought that he knew I did that but he didn’t! I couldn’t believe it…man. I am WHITE! You got me nailed.
…in addition…it is crazy how your website infuriates people! They are so angry…I think it is brilliant. It is good to be self-deprecating. Well done man, I’m with ya…
Hipsters, Urban Outfitters, Skaters all worship everything Spike Jonze! haha! This is hilarious.
you used dichotomy incorrectly. ass.
And, what the fuck is your point mike?
Awsome!!!!! Hold on. I gotta look that up…………..
It’s wasy to tell the people that love the wild by the t-shirts they wear.
http://www.culturallycool.com/wildlifeindex.html
I have, in fact, heard these exact words in the last week, “I was concerned about the movie. But then I found out Spike Jonze was directing it.” And my friend Mike was the first to post the trailer, I think. faux pos, though–I read Lord of the Rings AFTER seeing all the movies, and I even admit I prefer to do it in that order. It allows me to see the movie as a movie and not as an inaccurate adaptation of a book. And yet, I’m white. Who knew?
I respect what you’re trying to say here, but I must say that your points are way over-generalized.
wow, this is my favourite book of all time and i am so happy that it’s being produced as a movie. not gonna miss this for the world!
ok enough is enough! I am all about free speech and comedy and irreverance but SOME THINGS YOU DON’T FUCK WITH. and those things are Mr. Rodgers and Maurice Sendak! Dr. Suess almost makes the list but his character sketches are a little creepy and his rhymes suggest he smoked weed, so I guess its ok to make fun of him.
This is the first post I took offense at. Not because I actually read it, but “Where the Wild Things Are” was mentioned in the context of comedy. Don’t milk my sacred cows again or I will order a Fatwah against you infidel.
Mr. Rodgers was a CIA operative and Mr. Sendak was on Acapulco brown when he wrote Where the Wild Things Are.
Both got together and wrote that classic song, “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and I am Mr. Rodgers, Who’s Getting High With Mr. Sendek.”
I’m not sure if this comment was meant to be humorous but I found it to be rather amusing!
Really?
only 25% serious. I do love Mr. Rogers and Maurice Sendak. but now that Real Deal says he was a CIA operative I shall have to do some research. 😦
I will post the results on my own blog bennybloggings.blogspot.com where I occassionally post other rants and often reference this site where I reference my own site in shameless self promotion
I got a sacred cow for you to milk Ben, open your mouth and say ahhh. Who gives a flying fuck about you and your snot nose brat memories of a boring ass book about creepy looking loser monsters and a young punk in a bunny suit. If I want to see where the wild things are, I will just peek in your house window and see all the freaks of nature in all their shame. There is a post for being offended, learn to read and take your dumbass there.
yucka yucka yucka
damn Chuckles. that’s kinda fucked up.
What did I ever do you to, to have me dissed in a public forum like that. Normally I would try to be martial and come up with an equally offensive response, but I just got finished meditating and I’m discussing spirituality with two friends on facebook so I don’t feel compelled to respond in a hateful manner.
I am white… What the hell is Where the Wild things are? I truly never heard of it before and no one is whiter than I am.
Yes. It is all true. And did you know that former Pres. Bush is really an alien? He used to get messages from those aliens on the Simpson’s cartoons.
That’s why we got into the war in Iraq. The Simpson’s aliens told him to do it.
This is funny but it’s missing a key element of White people’s initial acceptance of the project, the Arcade Fire song that was used in the trailer. What’s better to mitigate the initial negative reaction than to have a song by a popular (with young urban liberal white people) Indie band playing during the trailer.
THis website is down right racist… Ridiculous how ignorant people can be. Complain and complain for centuries how the white man has kept you down… Get over yourselves. Maybe I should turn racism into my job… no god forbid Im white. I might get shanked.
Good points white man! If you give me a shank, I’d do the job.
Koom-by-ya my lord, koom-by-ya…..
Did you know that Satan is occupying the former vice-president’s body AS WE SPEAK? Chaney spelled backwards is Yenahc, which is an ancient yucatan peninsula yiddish for “I AM THE GREAT SATAN”.
Chaney’s motto is: Why hate individuals when you can call your enemies Al-Quieda and hate them all?
I stand by my post but I will respect your high road and leave you alone, for now. As for Mr Kombayaa, I may not be so merciful.
Hey Koom-by-ya, suck a dick. Take the ‘real deal’ up your ass.
yucka yucka yucka
Did ya know that when you say the real deal backwards, it sounds like DUMBASS?
yucka yucka yucka
Further confirmation that the real deal is the real dumbass.
yucka yucka yucka
What the eff is this Where the Wild Things Are bullshit? Everywhere I look someone is blabbing on about it.
What about the The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business? Someone poos on the mole’s head and he spends the rest of the book trying to find out who the hell did it. That’s my kind of children’s book.
Jesus eff Christ. Some people are boring.
shut up, daniel, you tool. go snuggle your copies of this stupid goddamn book and eat you freaking hummus.
I loved this book as a very young child. Is it so very strange to be paranoid that Hollywood is going to completely ruin a part of my childhood? They already did this once with the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
BTW, one of the best things about the original book is its careful simplicity that allows each child to build their own world around it. Expanding the story is likely to ruin the magic.
He must be White, his last name is a food.
Ummmm, your ignorant and racist….the person who wrote this blog is a white man, white man!
Fight club was a book?
There is a lot of good reading out there check it out.
http://www.culturallycool.com/aasweatshirtsindex.html
You’re an asshole.
I’m very white and I was also intending to do everything this post prescribed.
Does that make me an obvious white person?
dude…everybody chill! it’s not daniel’s fault he doesn’t have a sense of humor. he’s WHITE, remember?!
daniel…nobody’s going to shank you, just don’t get out of your car in hispanic neighborhoods. and when you’re in a black neighborhood, roll up your window…they totally can’t get you that way!
dummy.
So tonight I was riding the bus home after my late night waitressing shift (2:30am) and it was crowded with SO MANY WHITE PEOPLE dressed in Max/Wild Things costumes! Much to my dismay, my travel home coincided with the flocks just exiting the midnight show.
They all seemed very pleased with themselves thinking they were the most clever there…until their fun was spoiled by seeing all their other kin doing the same thing.
so………what do non white people look like then?
God, I love it the irony, retard. BigO was asking CJ what product he had that he would like to see placed on this site, similar to the way that Spike Jonez’ product WTWTA was. I love irony about the stupid, and the obvious facts and whatnot.
I’m surprised nobody (no whiteys) has ripped on you for not knowing Fight Club was a book. It’s ok. There’s more to life than trying to learn the lackluster culture of whites.
white people like this website because it makes them feel self-aware. Also, white people like to be self-deprecating.
Chicken
Kill whitey
They tried to hard on this one, as a white person, and a white person who reads i will still read the book after it becomes a movie. To much of a stretch
You may be a white person who reads, but you’re not a white person that knows how to use the word “to”.
I know that Hollywood can make anything into a movie but it is too bad they can’t make all of them into good movies. I am sure that this is driven by the ego of people with the cash to produce films. Ohhh, Producing Movies could be a post at http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com
I wonder how many computers are stolen in the name of this site.
They are targeting books, knowing that people ( of any culture or creed ) or people will go out and watch these films.
Also duh after seeing a film, and appreciating the value of it. you will want to read the original book. Especially knowing it so.
(Darn if Fight Club wasn’t a book!)
I would laugh but I did this exact same thing with The Polar Express. I was excited for the trailer the first time I saw it, but very worried that the movie would somehow tarnish a bit of my childhood and Christmas so I immedieately (Grr, can’t spell!) renounced the idea of seeing it at the first hint that Zemekis had ruined it with that horrible stop motion cgi obsession of his.
Also I get extremely upset and annoyed whenever anyone mentions adapting Jane Eyre into anything. It doesn’t work people, stop trying!
Is this written for KKK members? Have you seen District 9 and understood the irony. No, you are Americans and the word should not be in Websters.
hey “ToLittleToLate”…..I couldn’t have made this up. Very ironic name you have being that YOU don’t know how to use the word “to” either!!!! I think by tolittletolate you mean toolittletoolate…..or was that one already taken?
yet you still follow this blog…
some people would say black people only like violence , promiscuous sex , and stealing . there are people that think this is true and any one who would propagate such stereotypes are worst then those that believe such nonsense . I am willing to bet that you will find more then a few black parents taking their kids to see this film . I guess in this websites mind that would make them race traders and would be told to go back to the porch being as this website practices in racism
I’m guessing that you have had bad experiences with white people being stereotypical and racist, but two wrongs don’t make a right, they just make you feel better until you learn how to deal with it.
Its funny because the guy who writes this blog is white, so it is not racist.
I’M GOING TO PERSONALLY HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE WORDS… AS SUCH, I AM GOING TO VIOLENTLY ROB AS MANY WHITE PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE! THEIR LOSS WILL BE ON YOUR HEAD.
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF INTERNET “TOUGH GUYS” TALKING SH!T THEY WOULD NOT DARE REPEAT LOUD ENOUGH FOR THE TARGET OF THEIR OPINIONS TO HEAR.
I AM A TRUE THUG THAT IS INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO BE AN INFORMED AND STUDIOUS GANGSTA, AND BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE AVERAGE “STREET N!GGA” IS UNAWARE OF THE BLATENT RACISM DISPLAYED ONLINE BY YOU INTERNET COWARDS, I WILL NOW TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO LAUNCH A TIRADE OF HATE TRIGGERING SPEECH AND INFORMATION DIRECTED TOWARD YOU RED-NECKED CHICKEN-SHIT COWARD PERVERT CRACKA AZZ CRACKAZ!!!
… AND IT WILL ALL BE BECAUSE YOU!
“White Trash” are still white people, and the essence of this blog is of what white people like- in general.
Crystal Meth! That should be at the top of this list… and cocaine. Some white people actually ‘tip’ their dealers… I love that!
Seriously folks? He’s writing this as a joke. I’m white and from the south, and I read it for what it was… a joke. And it was funny, and there may even be some truth to it, but it’s a small truth, so that makes it even more funny. I did the same thing for several movies that came out. It’s not hateful, just funny. Not to say there aren’t people from other racial backgrounds that fit this description too, but take a deep breath, take a step back, and read it through normal eyes, not eyes looking for anything and everything to be angry about. It’s no way to live life, in a mindset that if there’s not something to be pissed off about, you’re pissed off about that.
As long as they don’t start making Dr Seuss into books! Hold on, [holding finger to ear] I am being told that Dr Suess films were originally books and that the movies came afterwards. Wow, I better spend some time reading instead of only writing for StuffRichPeopleLove.com
I am white. I am liberal, and I am educated. I love David Sedaris, Farmers Markets, “Black” music that African Americans don’t listen to anymore (Yes, I had to insert those quotation marks), I am trying to learn Spanish, I went through a Bob Marley phase in middle school, and I stand still at concerts. However, I think Vespas are a stupid waste of time, and I don’t give damn about “Where The Wild Things Are” (But, tons of my white friends do!). I am a classical musician, and, unfortunately for me, the post on white people and classical music is true.
I am sure that this list is meant to be funny, not hateful, and I am also sure that is meant to be aimed at people like myself, liberal whites. Would the “Deliverance” segment of the population like any of these things besides camping?
To those people posting that are so upset, please develop a sense of humor and take yourself less seriously. I laughed my ass off reading this list, and I was laughing at myself. There is nothing hateful or racist about this list.
http://makefunofmyfriends.com We got stuff white people will like.
Why the fuck would someone read a book when they can just watch the movie? Or play the video game?
See, I would disagree with one part about this. It’s not beloved by us whites because we know we can read the book before the movie very easily. It’s beloved because we were probably read it as a child, and if we weren’t we can just “assume” we did, but we forgot.
This however creates the problem that even though it’s only 48 pages long, if you did not read it as a child IT’S ALREADY TOO LATE. It was too late from the moment the movie was announced.
Sadly the film is quite emotionally draining and us white people have a difficult time under emotional distress. Naturally, the unreal cinematography and costumes that Spike Jonze has put on display balances these uneasy feelings right out. I am not sure if you have mentioned Karen O. and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs before, but white people love her and her music, thus making the film all the more desirable…
Hey Black charles manson, hold responsible a dildo in your ass.
wow, another tough guy? hahaha, you all take it too seriously…
I have no plans to see the movie. I’m not convinced a 15 page picture book warrants a feature length film. However, I’m sure a decent porn film could be made from the title.
On second thought, I’m sure it’s already been made. (And I’m sure Ron Jeremy could play several of the roles without makeup)
http://ourannoyingworld.com/
But doesn’t it kind of implies that white people are the only people who read?
wow fighting racism with racism that always works?
😦
This blog is upsetting because it is a bit racist, because it implies that only white people read and that it just people every white person in one category… 😦
I’m not white and I read a lot, but I’ve never read this book.
“(And I’m sure Ron Jeremy could play several of the roles without makeup)”
LOL
I saw this film with my kids this past saturday. It was a bit strange, especially when one wild thing tore the arm of another wild thing, but other than that i guess they stretched a book with few words for a first grader as far as they could. I think it would have been interesting and disturbing all at the same time if they had Samual Jackson play the voice of one of the wild things..lol
last 7 comments… dumb, lame, white.
I read the book as a child and loved it. I can’t wait to hear the soundtrack (Karen O) and see Spike’s take on this children’s tale.
Oh yeah, I’m black. LOL
derherzen.blogspot.com
Where’ve you been for the past year?
This is garbage. nonsense even. pish posh. i love books that are turned into movies
What bollocks. White people love literature and archetypes and shared experience. This is nonsense.
how was my comment “white” when you don’t even know what race I am?
You’re white, because you used pish posh. ‘nuf said.
Too funny! LOL. Pish posh ha ha ha
This is pretty funny, but I don’t get why it only applies to white people… If I made a site like this about say, black people, damn i’d be in trrouuuubbbbllllleeee!!!!!
I loved “Where the Wild Things Are” as a kid, my librarian used to read it to us when I was in kindergarden. I have to say though, it is kind of social suicide in the white world if you admit to reading a book after the movie has come out. I think the only exception to this rule is perhaps Harry Potter and Twilight, but then again I would never admit to reading the latter.
“Where the Wild Things Are” is like the ultimate marketing tool for us white people. Combine childhood literary nostalgia with indie music and James Gandolfini and that’s an instant hit.
you’re a tool. go see it before you judge.
The fact that you ask it proves something about you
I ACTUALLY grew up with this book (and other Sendak classics like “In The Night Kitchen” and “Chicken Soup With Rice”) in the early seventies and not the late eighties like a lot of the hipsters that seem to believe they have dominion over this project. The fact that my adult daughter (who loved the movie) was read these books and loved them as a child by me only means that childhood literary nostaligia is a wonderful thing. If it were not for parents passing on the stories that affected them as children onto their own kids there would not be any tales told. From The Brothers Grimm to Alice In Wonderland and Winnie The Pooh to The Lorax, the stories that we are told at bed time with the covers pulled snug around our chins and a glass of water beside us shape who we are. All we really want is a good tale and a kiss on the forehead and to know that our imagination is the greatest gift we have. If people want to open that up and see what’s inside, they miss the point of what it was (and is) to believe in a world where the best thing is a world without adults… and the scariest thing is a world without adults. That is the magic of a bedtime story.
Wow … you’re pretty white dude.
Hilarious parody of Stuff White People Like @ True/Slant:
http://trueslant.com/harmonleon/2009/10/29/a-salute-to-stuff-white-people-like/
White people! I am a 6’3 240 pound black man with a college education. Will you hire me if I promise not to rob you or date your daughters?
Well maybe I can promise not to rob you, but I can’t make any guarantees about your daughter if she got a phatty…
It hits a little too close to home, but is utterly delightful. 🙂
I agree with you on the point that the article makes it seem like only white people read. Also, I think it’s silly to say movies are more accessible than books. Movies require money books you borrow for free at the library.
btw reading a book after you see the movie is fine, reading a book BASED on a movie is what’s lame.
Like most books adapted to movies, a lot was left out.
http://brownbazooka.wordpress.com/
every time you take a “phatty,” you realize you’re taking one for the team. you’re basically doing us a favor. sir mix a lot was incorrect when he said “even white boy gots to shout.” Incorrect that we don;t shout at women, and incorrect that we like fat asses
Hee hee, try to rob me and see what happens. However, I would hire you if you had the appropriate skills. what is your degree in?
Here we go again. Where are you from Lars? Magic Land? You’re from a magical place where everyone is intelligent and accepting and no one dislikes other people for their race or ethnicity. Must be amazing to be able to cite cinematic masterpieces like “District 9” and then dismiss Americans for not understanding “irony.” Americans comprehend irony as well as anyone else. however, our humor isn’t based on making other people feel uncomfortable (despite what you read on this site). Nor are we so keen to make people have to figure out the humor behind our jokes. Irony is something for closeminded people from cold, dark countries that have nothing better to do than to talk about how much better they are than Americans as they smoke Marlboros, wear levis and chuck taylors, listen to rock, hip hop or jazz, watch TV, type on a p.c. or mac, and speak on a telephone in the illumination of a light bulb powered by electricity. Looks like while you were perfecting your irony skills, we were changing your world.
Why don’t white guys like women with a few more curves.I like a full figured woman myself. I’m not talking sloppy out of shape with love handles, a pouch, and cottage cheese. That’s unacceptable in any race, but I do mean nice ginormous round bottoms with a little waist with big juicy legs and calfs. Why do white guys go for women who have double d’s, but weigh about 110 ppunds with no arse..lolol
psychology was my major in college
And really, this entire “post” about the book is totally off. I’ve found that these “Stuff White People Like” messages are extreme stretches.
The only thing I was ever concerned about with “Where the Wild Things Are” after seeing a trailer was the fact that the “wild things” spoke with human-like voices. I thought it might remove me too far from the movie/book. Turns out that the voices were fine.
I could have cried through the entire movie, from beginning to end. I felt like the movie did a great job of doing what the book did – which was tell a timeless story in a timeless way.
As far as things that white people like…how about Antique Road Show, Target and both the British and American versions of The Office. White people also like morning shows, fantasy sports, and elaborate flower arrangements at funerals. White people also like to have strict schedules for funerals and mourning events.
http://brownbazooka.wordpress.com/
i thinks it’s ironic that ‘clander’ has chosen to exemplify ‘where the wild things are’, in a discussion about ‘white issues’….
What about the colonial underpinnings of the storyline: Brave ‘white’ Max travels in his boat to a distant land, full of savages and wild beasts, only to tame them, and control them at his will.
Starkly similar to the British rule over the Indigenous Australians in the 1700’s.
A bit deep for this topic? Maybe, but Im sure that’s also something white Australia hates to be reminded of…
You’re the one who’s identifying mythical “wild creatures” with indigenous Australians. I doubt too many other people would have made the connection. I suggest you go and reflect on your own (clearly racist) world view.
I have to say i never thought this would be a bad idea, it looks like it will be a pretty incredible movie.
Revenge!
Charles, I love your comment. It’s how I feel about bedtime stories, and how I hope my adult kids feel. I want to post it on my Facebook wall.
Gay and white.
Nicole, please read my post again to see that in no way do i support the mentality of the australian settler society.
If you cannot see the parallels between the two, so be it.
You should know that “wild creatures” is exactly how the the setter society saw the Aboriginal people. The Europeans didnt recognise the Indigenous as a civilised group and, on the basis of terra nullius, claimed ownership of the land.
i know ive deffinitely looked into this story way too far, but thought itd be intersesting; certainly didnt expect replies to be in the form of personal attacks. Before you go getting upset again, do a little of your own research on the issue.
cheers
In what ways were indigenous Australians civilized? Oh, and learn to use an apostrophe before you reply. You’re embarrassing yourself.
Good pick up! ‘Uncivilised’ was what i was supposed to write. It’s nice to see that you’re looking for grammatical error to compensate for your lack of knowledge on this.
congrats nicole, you win
Of course I have.
Straight and Indian… if that that matters.
You can tell all of that from what I wrote.
I actually said something that had meaning to me and you were able to come in and crush it with your small words.
I feel like shit and am second guessing everything about me.
Thanks.
Tim and Nicole – you guys are funny. Are you married to each other?
Don’t let a random internet commenter get you down, Charles. I appreciated your well-written comment.
Grow some balls and stop crying like a wuss. If I read you writing some more cry baby crap like this, I will give you something to cry about.
yucka yucka yucka
Charles, you talk sense. I got my love of reading from my mum, who got my onto Enid Blyton at a young age. She had to get rid of all her books when she migrated to Australia and I ended up having to get the same ones myself, so I’ve kept all my childhood books in the hope that my kids will read.
Are you the same Jessica who had a cry on the Promising to Learn a New Language post?
Different ends of the country would be my bet!
You have to learn not to take anything written personally.
different ends of the same ass would be my guess.
haha
this is hilarious go check this guy out http://www.jusjivin.com
….I am so white.
First paragraph….
so me! haha
100% not white in blood, yet so white in spirit!
i really find it lame when people are seen reading the book AFTER they found out the movie is coming out. watch the trailer months in advance & pray you’re a fast reader
It’s ok
Oh i loved this. this cracked me up multiple times.
My Favorite part “To have read the book after the movie is one of the great crimes in white culture, and under no circumstances should you ever admit to doing this.” lmao
hate to point this one out to you Mr/Mrs Sickness but its obvious that the misspelling in “ToLittleToLate”s name was intentional to drive home your incorrect usage of the word. You fell right into their trap and now we are all casually laughing at you.
White people like psychics too!!!

I have no white friends, then???
#127 Where the Wild Things Are. I’ve loved this book for a long time. It reminds me of a little Brennan I knew… and I just like it. It’s one of the few I’ve kept from the girls’ library. Hundreds of books have been culled and donated to thrift stores and The Matter Bookstore.
I was compelled to go see the movie–even though I had been a bit apprehensive–when someone shared how intriguing the relationships between Max and the monsters were. I was there three days later.
My favorite part was the group pile-up. I also loved the kingdom that the wild thing Carol built in his secret hideway. “There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen,” Carol told Max. I agree.
It was so disturbing when Max finds this painstakingly-built model destroyed. My little five-year-old cried out of control. When they set out to build their own place, it reminded of me being a child and building dams on Lick Creek and embarking on the biggest projects with the highest hopes, especially ones in the woods with Cari.
I loved the little boy who played Max. Loved the costumes. Loved the soundtrack. Even though some of the relationships had difficulties, it is sad when he sets sail. My little one was weeping big time.
I’ll admit that I left a little bit heartbroken. It’s depressing, but it’s a work of art and accurately depicts relationships people have. I don’t think life is meant to be so complicated. It’s meant to be lighter and more joyful–like the book. I’m sure that’s why the book is so popular! People usually don’t want to look at the muck in life, but sometimes it’s necessary to shine a little light on it so we can get rid of it. And I do think we’re living in a very dark time, although I feel like it’s getting lighter and lighter everyday.
DARKNESS, I think when Rhyan W thinks of you, he thinks of a reflexively irate internet tough guy who is so insecure, he defines himself solely by his skin color, and can’t or won’t see beyond that. You come across as paranoid, seeing conspiracies against you and your people run by “the Other” (I think I can guess with about 95% certainty what you think of the Jews, btw). Truth is, “the Other”, as you define him, doesn’t usually think about you, and simply live as individuals.
It’s not to say that racism isn’t out there, but it isn’t quite as prevalent as you think it is. You have the CHOICE to rise above the irrationalism of others, to prove them wrong (another thing, I like how you didn’t mention that Obama could not have been elected without the votes of WHITE people).
Basically, DARKNESS, you’re the “carbon-copy”, as it were, of every retarded, irate white nationalist that posts here. I think you’d be a lot less irate if you took people as INDIVIDUALS and not simply as members of GROUPS.

the fight club part is the best
mm pretty sure this is epic.
I’m in a white person’s quandry…
I’m supposed to go see the latest Twilight movie with a big group of friends, but I have not read the book, nor any of the books in the series. And I have not seen the first movie.
Do I fess up? Do I pretend I understand what the hell is going on? Or do I fake sick and not go, thereby missing out on cocktails and appetizers beforehand?
What should a white person do?
this shit obviously written by a black guy cause a white guy is too busy with actually having a full time job.
Or maybe it is his full time job, If you didn’t notice, he published a book. 😛
I am white, I have read all the Twiligh books, and I love them. I’ve seen both the movies and I hate them. I know I am not the only one to say that the movie totally ruined the book and this movie has been blown out of porportion, I mean, Team Edward and Team Jacob, really if you read the damn book you will find out that Edward wins and that Jacob looses. No point in the whole team thing. Personaly for the movie I’m Team Paul, because Paul tries to attack Bella. During that part in the movie I was thinking ‘Thank you Paul, someone needs to maul her face.’ I do not like Bella. There, I think I’m not the only White person to think so.
Wow, way to go on a rant about something nobody cares about. Typical fucking Twilight fantards.
I’ve watched Twilight and New Moon simply because I don’t have anything better to do, and from what I can tell, they’re better than the books– for the two simple reasons that the actors hate their roles (ESPECIALLY Robert Pattinson) and think Meyer is a twat, and because the books are filled with sickening purple prose which you teenage girls eat up and think constitutes as “good writing.”
The reason you’re not the only person to think the movies suck more than the books is because you -are- white, female, and very likely under 18. And I seem to find I’m the only one of the same who DOESN’T like that shit.
Like a lot of sequels, the key points you need to know are usually pointed out some time in the film. Several things are immediately obvious. Edward is a “Vampire,” he sparkles in sunlight instead of burning and dying, Bella is absolutely obsessed with him, his family love her.
Other “important” things that actually constitute a plot in these movies (apart from Bella and Edward’s sickening relationship, and Bella being a shallow prick) are mentioned in the dialogue– just make sure you can hear it above the screaming fangirls.
The original Twilight movie is a complete waste of your time, there is absolutely no reason to watch it.
New Moon is not much better, other than the fact that Meyer seems to be able to crap out at least one character with personality depth.
If your friends are paying your ticket, go for it. There’s free appetizers beforehand.
I agree with everything you say, wholeheartedly.
Nope, the guy who wrote this is actually white!
@matt
white people like writing blogs about themselves (or gross generalizations about their social class/culture) and publishing books based on said blogs to make monies so they don’t HAVE to get employed at some dead end soul crushing enterprise!
This really only works because white people like to read blogs and buy books about themselves and/or their social class/culture. Especially if it is writing in a biting tongue in cheek, suodo outsiders perspective.
I am going to try this. Only I think I shall try using twitter, just to be different. I will write about shit my dad says… I bet I could get somewhere with that.
as Nelson from the Simpsons would say….
HAAAAAA HAAAAAAAH!
Ha ha I now understand the reactions I recieve when I tell my fellow white friends when I refuse to read a book before seeing the movie. I don’t want to ruin the movie. I see that I am crushing their deep cultural beliefs, no wonder I am subject to intense displays of shock and scorn.
Just read True/Slant; not funny and poorly written.
Hey Chuckles,
If you are ever coming to Toronto let me know.
I’ll tell you where to find me so you can give me something to cry about.
fucka fucka fucka
Big fan, love this site!
Another great site to check out is http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
Amusing! I loved the book as a kid, too. Now I like this website, have bookmarked it. This is a pretty cool site if you like shopping, go see – http://www.dubli.com
Racist fucking pieces of shit are behind this site: we will reduce your stinking retarded lives to rubble: we will make a point of poisoning everything you hold dear as punishment for being such fucken retards. Die everyoneofyoufuckers.
OH, this was a funny post. I am guilty of this. Recently I read ” The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.” The book is a great read, however I have to admit I read it to one up my fellow white friends.
Is this a joke? This website is hilarious and not being racist. White people can make fun of other white people’s hilarious actions…it’s something we like hahaha.
Awesome! Can you please get a little more upset about this for me.. I’m LMAO at your “disgust”
This site is so god damned “on the pulse” it is scary…
Suck it up or don’t visit it (the site that is)
you sound like me .. and i’m not white. non-white people are just as serious about their reading as you honkies.
Awww…… books like ‘Being and Nothingness’, ‘Infinite Jest’ and ‘Ulysses’ would never have been read or continue to be read if it weren’t for the insecurities of white people.

lol this is soo true. love it!
yes this true. The movie doesn’t come close to the books. And yes I am white too. :] lol
@ Matt
uhhh racist… but agreed on that statement.
Okay, This is so fucking messed up. I hate how it points this to only white people cause lets be honest, tons of people do this. ME, NOT BEING ONE OF THEM, BUT SERIOUSLY? i have NO white friends which do this, although i do know people who are NOT white who do this quite often.
You’re very obviously missing the point. And the irony.
sorry, in what way is this ironic? it’s blog made of jokes banking off of stereotypes. White People Like: Trying to Make Things, That Would Normally be Considered Stupid, Ironic. now I’m ironic. no one else in this situation is ironic. I guess I won.
also, Dave Eggers wrote a novel with the screenplay, which changes exactly what the purpose was of adapting a children’s book to a more mature audience.
Why are people getting so paranoid about this list? Clearly it’s just for fun. People who are ‘ethnic’ are always stereotyped and laughed at in movies, etc….I think it’s time people grow up and leave if they can’t laugh at themselves. I always laugh at Indian stereotypes in movies and don’t get offended. If anything, I think this list proves that we all have things in common and we need to realize this.
Never fails to crack me up.
Check out this other great site at http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
…you sick racist fuck.
many of my (white) friends were talking about this blog and thought it was really funny. i guess i came with expectations but i gotta say, while i appreciate that there’s a blog like this out there, it’s actually no more enjoyable than if it weren’t about white people. to write like 10 or 20 zingers would be fun, if not cathartic, but over a hundred of weird stereotypes probably takes some bitterness.
what do white people like? reading/writing blogs about themselves…
and then talking about it in the comments section… i know i do…
Hah, I hate to admit it but I do all of that all the time. I feel like a failure if I don’t read a book before it comes out in theatres. Thankfully, being a white nerd I have the perk of having read most of the recent movies before they have come out, but still its an on-going paranoia. This site isn’t racist its pretty spot on and I enjoy the irony! 😀 Keep it up!
I know where the wild things are. They got me bent over on all fours and they are doing me in the behind.+
Geez I didn’t know this was a white thing only. I thought everyone did that all of the above!
See: Being Offended
Love it!
I’d also suggest taking a look at http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
I’m white, and this site is all so true. I don’t really get some of the stuff though, like that notebook one, because I’ve never heard of it in my life.
i bet you liked the movie too.
I didn’t know it was a white matter either.
I’m scared of WTWTA now.
can we talk about all the great Halloween costumes that this movie is going to provide us with. This book was def. a fav. of mine growing up so I was stoked when it came out. Same “cloudy with a chance of meatballs” which was a huge let down.
http://www.itsfoodhour.com/where-the-whiny-things-are/
Same.
Does this have to do with “white” people or Americans?
Replace the words “White People” with “Black People” and see how quickly “people” are up in arms over the “racist” generalizations and racial stereotypes
Too Funny….
I literally never get sick of this web site!
Here’s another good one: http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
I hated the book and the movie
Add to the fact that the trailer (which played ad nauseam) was just chock full of Arcade Fire, a band that will earn you no small amount of street-cred if spoken of favorably in the right company. The incorporation of indie music into this one should make it an instant hit with the “right kind” of white people…
Are people up in arms over http://www.hotghettomess.com?
It’s about a particular kind of white people. The educated and/or creative class of whites, born into privilege and having spent their whole lives trying to make up for it by having obscure interests, supporting all kinds of “causes” for the less fortunate, being tolerant and into multiculturalism, etc.
Drew, nice observation with the Arcade Fire. Also, a soundtrack by Karen O and shameless amounts of endorsing by Urban Outfitters allows for white people to hang on to their indie street cred, with just a sprinkling of mainstream.
I’m sorry, but I thought Where The Wild Things Are movie sucked, and I’m as white as they come. Who takes a story about adventure and imagination that’s barely 10 pages long and turns it in to a sad 2 hour story about a broken family? Movie sucked.
Great comment Andy. Actually I haven’t seen the movie, but I had serious problems with that f-cking inane trailer that everybody loved for precisely the reasons you and others have described. The Arcade Fire song was so retardedly over-the-top manipulative in that context too. Most people loved the trailer only because of the music, but don’t realize it.
first. to. poop.
Seriously, this film sucked. I might aswell have gone back to school for two hours and done english literature, just to see why people out there think this film is great. This is the most over-rated and over appreciated film of the year, the plot was just awful and the film didn’t even end properly.
And yeah…before you say so, I probably do need grammar lessons :O
I’m as white as sour cream and I thought the film was cheesy and poorly made.
FYI someone already had that unoriginal idea. And the blog is poorly made and uncreative. Nice try though.
Nah, it was great pal.
Ha!
Here’s another good one: http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
Here is a white person who despised “Where The Wild Things Are”. The movie AND the book.
Hi, I’m Buckwheat.
Otay?
Otay!
Oh no! I have read Fight Club post 1999. I was unaware of the devastating effects that fact could have in my life.
Ahhh….But did you like the book? (Thus proving you are the aforementioned stereotype)
http://travelinggallery.wordpress.com/
White people love art.
This might have already been mentioned, but another big factor in the love of this movie was Karen O doing the soundtrack. She is among Zooey Deschannel, and Natalie Portman as a leading indie rock fantasy girl. Since Karen O and Spike Jonze also used to date, this movie turned into like the perfect storm for the hipster crowd.
don’t care about either, never read the book and never watched the movie.
Zooey Deschannel can BARELY carry a tune. What a sickening crossover act. It’s bad enough that Russell Crowe tries to have a music career. Now that anyone can “have a music career” since The Moldy Peaches made the Juno Soundtrack, anyone can just whisper-moan off key into a mic with some barely rhythmic acoustic guitar and be the soundtrack to Cotton commercials.
Whoever writes this blog is my fourth favourite person in the world.
Somebody isn’t into Indie. I kinda liked the “Juno” soundtrack.
That’s just…too damn right. Cue Harry Potter (though I did read Harriet the Spy after the fact, but I was, what, ten then, when the movie released?
wild things is a film?
Do you mean…a soundtrack by Karen O and shameless amounts of endorsing by Urban Outfitters allows for white people to hang on to their mainstream cred, with just a sprinkling of indie…?
Quite the pants pisser!

A comments like that are what make you an ignorant dumb ass
wow, this is really racist. i wonder if this would be tolerated if it was ‘things black/asian/indian (etc) people like’.
wow, this is me! i’m sooooo white 😦
This site is hilarious. I’m South Asian, grew up in India and know nothing about this book. When I first saw the trailer, I was sitting next to my friend who is Asian and grew up in Jersey and she went all ‘awwwww’. I remember turning to her and said ‘wow you’re so white’. I had no idea I was spot-on — thank you for the validation!
I must add that a lot of my Indian friends from back home have used that line on me because I like ‘getting sun’/sitting by the pool or on the roof when it’s sunny out. You dont seem to have that on your list.
It’s written by a white guy!
We are white couple and we love this little movie, it’s made by West indian director called Pogus Caesar…so we like all kinds of folks. Hope you do too. so watch the ‘muscleback’ grab a milkshake and chill!

Great post, I look forward to reading more.
Well, you can google ‘stuff (any race/ethnic group) likes’ and get a list… so yeah, it seems to be tolerated. It’s called humor.
White people suck!
I’m white…white people suck!
It’s us again, so we went looking for more Pogus Caesar and guess what we found – a cool film called Paper Planes starring the rapper Coolio. A well crafted look at his time on LA’s drug infested streets.. and the soundtrack stings the nerves just right. So more milkshake (strawberry this time)
While I’m white and hated this movie, it was SUCH a white person movie. Ugh.

you have to admit though, spike jonze dressed up as the crazy old lady walking around town with her boobs hanging out in jackass 2, that was pretty cool.
Thanks for reminding me about this movie – I forgot it came out. As a white guy I feel I must watch it so I just added it to my Netflix queue.
I hated this movie with a passion.

Another film by Pogus Caesar – paper planes. Coolio talks about crack in LA. Scarrryyyy.
Best seen after 9pm!
I must say I enjoyed this movie, so i totally agree that it is a thing white people like, but it may have had something to do with the fact I was really liking #33 at the time.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing such a nice post.
If Master Lander is so entusiastic for the US to become a non-white country who doesnt he go and live in El Salvador or Haiti for while?
http://boerboel1.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/self-flagellating-cnn-moonbat-celebrates-white-suicide/#comment-833
all you people hating on this website and mr lander need to realize that this entire site is a satire, and a damn funny one.
As I white person, I like everything listed. The reasoning behind it may not be the same, but I find them to be very funny generalizations. I find racist joke funny even though I am not racist, and can also laugh at myself in the same way. If white people are getting mad about it then they should never tell a racist joke. Also, I got really excited about this movie but was fairly disappointed with the it because of how it ended. White people like to think back to their childhood, and are happy when reminded of simpler days. That is why I believe that the movie should have had a happier ending to give the book justice. Just me two cents…
Isn’t satire funny because there is an element of truth to it? The reason some of this stuff isn’t funny is because it limits these admirable and not so admirable traits to white people when we all know that things like pretentiousness as described above is hardly limited to White people. I don’t doubt Black people come on here to check first and see if X is on the list. If so, automatic boycott. It’s Stuff White People Like and hence no up to the standard of that cultural niche. Pretentiousness.
“It is a guarantee that whenever it is announced that a popular book is being turned into a movie, white people will get upset. This is partly due to their fear that something they love will be made accessible to more people and thus enjoyed by more people which immediately decreases the amount of joy a white person can feel towards the original property. Yes, it’s complicated.” <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<fucking hilarious and so true.

There is one constant in life and that is change. Do you recognise that? Although change is often for the best and we welcome it it is nevertheless stressful. In fact all kinds of things are stressful for us – new people, new situations, too much information, too many demands for our time, energy and money. Find out here how you can transform your stress into resilience and thrive.

yea except the movie is AMAZING AS FUCK
I honestly thought Nipe45 was talking about the fucking movie adaptation until the last bits.
I agree with white girl; whenever something I like is publicized (especially music, certain bands, etc.) I for some reason get really upset. It sounds stupid, but hey, what can you do? I’m white. 🙂
Agreed!! I don’t know whether people realise this but we have white people in Australia and inner Melbourne, especially the areas of North Fitzroy and Northcote are notorious for having and promoting the ‘right kind of white people’. But they are exactly like this, failing to realise that books and movies are different mediums. The latter could never, nor does it intend at, the complete recreation of the former. They always say things like ‘oh the book was so much better’, with their buddy holly eyeglass where ways…oh so pretentious, uneducated and not liberated at all…although they like to think they are. Trainspotting is a great example of a book never being able to do what the movie could. The movie, with its visual depiction of the desperation, showed us the lengths of addiction by taking us into the toilet bowl. The book just could not compete.
I can just predict what the good people of inner Melb will start doing now, repeating the above and saying movies are different mediums and therefore incomparable to the book. It’s just the white people thing to do, not think for yourself but thieve your points of view from someone else.
I’ll admit that I’m in the same boat that I start liking something until it becomes all the rage. Who isn’t guilty of that?
When i first heard about this movie, i thought it was a good idea. After seeing the movie, i thought it was a bad idea…. Just a FN boring movie and nothing like the book. That’s why i usually hate the book to movie ordeal… They ALWAYS change the shit and make the movie crappy with respect to the book. I would LIKE to see GOOD movies based off their book counterparts, not stupid shit.

As a well-established white person, I take great offense to the lack of mention of one of the largest reasons white people were so enthused about the trailer: the background music was “Wake Up” off of the *essential* white person album Funeral, by the prominent white person band, Arcade Fire.

I love this book/movie! And yes, I am white. I relate to most of these facts about white people 🙂 haha. They’re very accurate 🙂
The trailer was awesome. The movie was baaaaaad. It’s pretty much only good for 5 yr old white kids. And even they will bitch about how it didn’t follow the book.
that bit about fight club is HILARIOUS. love it.
check out http://justsomepetpeeves.wordpress.com
and tell your friends!!!
My white roommate just lent me Fight Club, which I’m trying to finish reading before I get back to school, and many of our friends are very upset with the fact that I’m just getting started now. Of course, I refuse to see the movie with them until I finish the book, even though one of the major spoilers has already been ruined for me. So true! :p
Cue Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Even though my Asianic friend goes on about the differences between the movie and comics (including how the ending had to be different because the comics weren’t finished yet), we met a guy working at Hot Topic who seemed much more put off by the discrepancies. Time to play…Guess! His! Ethnicityyy!!
I’m (mostly) white and admit that even though I love children’s literature, I HATE “Where the Wild Things Are” and always have, even as a child. The story and pictures are both boring!
If you’re interested in multicultural children’s literature, check out Lee & Low Books:
http://www.leeandlow.com/
I think the the words “White People” on this blog actually means, “College graduate culture”
I liked the book when I was 3/4. Saw a couple of the trailers for the movies, thought it looked decent but beyond that, I didn’t care.
I tend to prefer to read the book before I watch the movie but I don’t get too worked up over it. I watched Fellowship of the Ring before reading it. Of course, I then read all three books in the Lord of the Rings trilogy before The Two Towers came out. I enjoyed that movie more because I had more background knowledge of what was going on. There were, of course, a number of differences in those movies, but most didn’t annoy me beyond explaining that certain gaps in the movies were explained in the books.
I’m beginning to wonder what type of “white” people inspired this blog because I’m about as white as it reasonably comes and I think all of maybe five of them actually apply to me and a few more seemed like they would until I opened them. Of the ones that applied to me, at least three were just hating on the thing that “white people” do just because it doesn’t appeal to the author. I’d suggest a more open mind, only that would likely be another thing “white people” like.
don’t hate. this is a FUNNY blog…you know, for entertainment? just because some of these apply to you as a white person, doesn’t mean you are only “white” with no other identity. lots of whites don’t like mos def, and lots of POCs love where the wild things are. don’t take it so seriously.
HA HA HA. I agree with you. I’m mostly caucasian and 1/4 Filipino so I totally know where you’re coming from. All of the white people I’ve ever known ONLY read the book before seeing the film, and they always complain about how the book was “better” than the movie. I’ve enjoyed reading books in the past, but HONESTLY I love movies WAY MORE. I’m very visual. I can be a “wordy” person, but words do eventually bore the crap outta me. 😛 Movies are great though. My father and I grew up watching various ones. He grew up in the 50s and I grew up in the 80s, so movies were pretty big then. Everybody these days are either playing video games or reading big azz books. They both bore me.
Also, another random “white people”thing – They love buying things/meals/food etc. from “Mom and Pop Shops.” They HATE anything corperate. They also HATE musicians/bands that are famous. They only like them if they’ve never heard of them and play in some dive bar on the weekends… then they love ’em to death. I am not like that. I like anyone/thing that I think is “good.” It doesn’t matter to me if they are “corperate” or what have you.
One More Comment – (In my opinion,) white people who say they “read the book before the movie came out” or how “the book was Better than the film,” are only saying that because they think READING instead of WATCHING makes them look more “intellectual.” If a person would rather watch something than take the time to read some 200 page book (NOT talking about “Wild Things” but in general) they are considered stupid or illiterate. I don’t give a (blank) though. I still enjoy films and movies more than I would ever enjoy reading a book. I actually read all of the time, but mainly articles. I’m just too A.D.D. to bother reading something unless it’s very short. That’s just me though. : )
It’s true that a lot of white people do read books only after the announcement that they are being made into a movie is made, however reading a book( yes, a book… a novel… not an “article” in some stupid brain dead magazine) is not bad.
generally books tend to be better than movies..not because i want to appear smarter..mainly because they are better… i.e Harry Potter…? hello..
Oh Fight Club? You mean this book has Brad Pitt in it? cool.
Shit, that is hilarious. The urge for white people’s original property. And how once something gets the tiniest bit mainstream, they no longer like it.
AND the Fight Club comment. Hahaha. I can’t even count how many times someone says “You like Fight Club? That’s my favorite movie…It’s so badass.” And you really have to laugh…because honestly, who doesn’t like that movie? It’s not like I just told you that I created the world. But they will always be waited for someone who “gets it” because “Oh my god, I got it the first time too…” and then they will go off being friends because they both think that they’re genuisses for understanding a movie.
Gah…Spoken like a true genius. I have to give the guy who writes this major props.
It doesn’t make you less intellectual…although it is silly to assume you’re getting the same thing from the movie as you are the book; when they write the screenplay they usually edit and leave out entire story lines that were in the original book. Often times the best, or most enjoyable, parts are left out in the interest of time because they can be taken out and the integrity of the plot is, usually, still in tact(unless we’re talking about the most recent harry potter movie and wand makers getting kidnapped before the REASON they were supposed to get kidnapped occurred…oh wait in the movie he just got kidnapped and it didn’t occur at all.). Sure some people think it makes them look/sound smarter, but there is truth to the statement. I’m going to use Harry Potter as an example because while I loved the series no one can think that having read books with a suggested reading level of ages 9-12 makes them look intellectual. Sure I enjoyed the movies for what they were, but there is so much MORE in the books, characters and story lines that are almost entirely left out of the movies and you miss out on them if you don’t read the book. I mean my favorite characters in the books were Fred and George…they play much bigger roles in the books and we only see snapshots of them in the movies. Ginny had a much bigger role, with a lot more personality, and in the movie she’s kind of…blah. Sure the movies are enjoyable too, but that doesn’t mean the books aren’t more enjoyable if you have the time to read them.
Personally I like to read the book first because I usually like the book better and want ultimate enjoyment out of it; seeing the movie first might spoil some of the fun of the book, but reading the book first won’t spoil the movie for me.
I’m not saying that some people don’t like books better for the reasons in the article, I thought the article was hillarious but then again I like to mock people(myself included), but seriously, take it with a grain of salt as it is intended to be taken.
I dunno if someone already wrote this in the 51 pages of previous comments I’m not willing to look through, but how about how white people especially like Where the Wild Things Are because its about a little white boy who is the hero because he is rude and demanding and takes up as much space as one small child possibly can, and his reward for his nauseating entitlement is escaping to a fantasy world where he gets to rule over a whole group of semi-human creatures while they serve his every physical and emotional need? I’mean, that’s pretty much every white boy’s wet dream, right?
The Karen O factor would have also appealed to many white people, me included.
I was too lazy to go back through comments to see if anyone has already mentioned this.
I never saw/read this. I thought the previews for this perticular movie showed an ignorant little jerk and I had never heard of it until the movie came out. I think the people who watched this most likely watched the last Star Wars at least once or more in theaters. I noticed that most of the people who told me that they enjoyed this movie previously showed symptoms of A.D.D. and/or Asperger syndrome as part of their character and I swear I do not mean to be rude when I say that. It’s just something I noticed. I could ask someone who I think had those symptoms if they saw the movie and they’d start to freak out about how good it was.
My family read, “Alice in Wonderland” as a kid and then saw the ancient movie, which was always cool. Kids love to be rewarded with TV. I can say the I was anoyed about the most recent Alice. It had colorful colors/shapes, but reminded me more of “Stinky Todd.” Im not mad; I just dont want any black folks to think that freaky dance thing was expressed in the book or that our childhood characters were anything like that anorexic emo bleached stepchild version of Alice that they have in the new movie.
this site bloooooows!! obvious observations just repackaged. hope you guys make a billion off coffee books at urban outfitters. at least america is producing something. bad comedy. what’s the deal with white people!? what am i doing on here. gotta go shit on something else!

are you freaking kidding me? Can you say RACIST? This is over the top offending,i happened to stumble across it while trying to search for a name for my puppy who is white.
I must say I am white and I do not have to read a freaking book before watching a movie,and I do not AT ALL spaz and tell people to read a book before they see a movie.
I haven’t even seen this movie yet nor do I wish to see it.
I have small kids who probably wouldn’t care to see it either.
I don’t know where your “guareentee” comes from but all us white people hear about a movie just like anyone else does and goes to the theathre to watch it like anyone else.
if anything the white people I know will read a book after they seen the movie or read it to get the whole story of the movie.
So you can take a long walk off a short bridge.
and GFY you racist piece of shit.
Not Sincerly,
Heather………who is White btw
LOL at how seriously Heather took this…and at her spelling and how she’s Googling for a puppy name.
You guys are dumb, its called satire (if you are not sure what that is, wikipedia it…thats another thing white people do). This site is hilarious and I am amazed at how many things i really do see each day that white people do
Thanks Christian, this is awesome
Matt…….who is white btw also
I love how white people are getting so offended. I’m white and think is hilarious.
If you don’t find it funny, don’t read it!
I’m white and I love it! 🙂
Some white people like to be offended by satire.
Others can take a joke. Don’t worry, Heather. They can’t draft you, or send you to Vietnam. You’ll probably live a long life, so work on making it a happy one.
At the risk of offending your racial consciousness, lighten up.
What’s the puppy’s name? If it’s a girl, consider Yuki. Pronounced you-key, it’s Japanese for snow.

Dear Heather,
You are the worst kind of person.

White people, well all people, also enjoy http://www.NakedHipster.com. Mainly because the girls are hot and don’t have clothes on. Usually those two things go well together. You know, the hotness and the nakedness.
Heather,
You tell the authors of the blog to “take a long walk off a short bridge”.
This statement is fundamentally flawed as an insult. Because a bridge is connected to dry land at either end, a long walk on a short bridge would simply get you to the other side, so in essence you are wishing the subject an uneventful walk.
I believe you wanted to say: “Take a long walk off a short pier.” This works better as an insult because the pier is connected to dry land at one end, but surrounded by water at the other. So a long walk on a short pier would result in the subject falling in the water, much to their chagrin and everyone else’s amusement.
Unless you meant that the authors should walk off the side of the bridge, in which case the width of the bridge would be more important than it’s length. In that case you would have been better off to say: “Take a long walk off a narrow bridge.” But I think we can all agree that at this point the idiom becomes a bit obscure.
You made me smile. Too funny.
Love it!!
Whoever thought up this blog is a genius hands down….i can’t stop laughing and everything spoke on here is the truth to the tee! Thank you so much for making so many things clearer! 🙂
Wow, now I feel much much better for never having heard of “Where the Wild things are” before some of my white friends freaked out over the trailer. There was talk of making t-shirts…but I tuned that part out! Interesting blog, that hits quite a few scary points, prob a breeding ground for loud and long arguments though.
I have no words to describe how much I despise Where the Wild Things Are. The book AND the movie. Oh, wait. I guess I do.
I am SO white.
this is hilarious stuff. I love laughing at my own race 🙂
Great kids book, shitty movie. Cat in the Hat, same,
I can understand indifferent, but despising, isn’t that a little dramatic.
You are a pitiful racist
white people cringed when they first heard it was being turned into a movie
nice post thanks!
you should have been inundated with emails, instant messages
If you received no word that the trailer was available, then you currently are in possession of no white friends

As a partially wrong white person with lots of right white person friends, I have come up with a solution if you happen to be a person who is caught reading the book after the movie (which has happened to me) Simply explain that you purposefully waited until after the movie to read the book because you wanted to fully appreciate the film and the director’s and actor’s interpretations of the characters without having your own expectations for what the character should of been like. You didn’t want your opinion of the film to be influenced by anything prior, and you know from experience, that the book is ALWAYS better than the film, so it is better to go from good to better than the opposite…but solely for the sake of un-biased film appreciation.

Hmm this seems more like a “stuff white, twenty something university types like” if I see a movie and find out it was a book I get the book and so do other white people I know, we don’t frown on that but then we are in our late 30’s so different mind set.
Ummm…stupid much???? I have NEVER gave a crap about reading a book before a movie nor do i care who enjoys it. And its kinda funny cuz haha….IM WHITE. You cant judge someone by the color of their skin! and u can’t generalize things so easily IM SICK OF THIS! & THE OTHER STUPID WEBSITE…
