I just stumbled upon this terrific Canadian blog and thought y’all should know about it. The guy started writing it in January 2008, and it got so much attention that he’d signed a book deal within 6 weeks. Cri-zazy.
So here’s the title people are up in arms about: “Stuff White People Like”
He says he gets his inspiration for blog topics at farmer’s markets. hahahahaha.
Exerpt from CNN.com article by Lisa Respers France, published on January 29, 2009:
The origins of “Stuff” date from January 2008, he said, because of an instant messenger conversation between him and his friend Miles about the HBO drama “The Wire.” Miles, who is Filipino, tossed off that he didn’t trust any white person who didn’t watch the series.
That exchange started a back-and-forth between the two about what white people were doing instead of watching the show.
“We said, ‘Oh, they are going to plays, they’re doing yoga, they’re getting divorced,’ ” recalled Lander, who couldn’t pass up the gold mine of ideas and started blogging. “The goal was to literally make Miles and a few of my friends laugh, and it just took off.”
Within six weeks, Random House came calling, and a book deal was finalized.
You can find the blog, which is completely hilarious, at: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/
