Stuff White People Like

I’d written in a column last week about how the internet has no entry barriers and is meritocratic, and how if a new blog is good, it will gain the readership it deserves on word of mouth alone. Well, here’s a blog that illustrates just that: Stuff White People Like.

The blog began about six weeks ago, and already has about 4 million hits. That’s no surprise—it contains satire and social observation of the highest quality, and I’ll be very surprised if a lucrative book deal doesn’t come its way soon. Just scroll through some of those entries, it’s super stuff.

More dope: Here’s an LA Times piece on it, and here’s an interview of the author, Christian Lander.
