Stuff White People Like by Christian Lander

Hans Rippel — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 11:09:21 +0000

Stuff White People Like by Christian Lander is a caricature of how one dimensional white people really are can be. The book is a bundled collection of 150 “stuff” white people like. It is filled with humor, sarcasm, irony, and the “occasional” truthful sore points (for White people at least).

It can be read quickly from cover to cover but since there is no continuous story the 150 similarly themed sections also lend themselves for occasional readings here and there. Don’t expect anything else then some laughs and a meaningless good time. For me this has been the first reading of this type about White people and as such I liked the entertainment as well as the humor at the expense of White people like myself.

The idea for Stuff White People Like first started out with Lander’s likewise named blog www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. If you like the blog then you will like his book and vice versa. With the blogs gaining popularity he eventually received a book deal to further expound on all the stuff white people like. So you can get your fix of humor about how transparent and embarrassing White people are can be by either buying the book from Amazon as a hard copy or you can also get it from Audible as an audiobook.

George Carlin – It’s Bad For Ya (2008)

Hans Rippel — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:30:56 +0000

It is funny, smart, and touches on sensitive issues by which some might be offended. It’s Bad For Ya (2008) was George Carlin’s 14th and last HBO stand-up comedy performance. All I can tell you is that it made me laugh every time I watched it, and I love how his jokes also make you think. Among the topics he made fun of are: old age, life after death, belief and religion, parenting and education, people being boring and talking bullshit, and social customs. In a nutshell, he is the old white man version of Chris Rock, if you can wrap your head around that.
