For my first blog entry I though it would be fun to post links to some of my favorite blogs/websites. Hopefully, by seeing where I waste hours and hours of my life, you'll all get a better understand of my hopes, dreams and aspirations.
First site, http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com.
This website knows me all too well. As the name describes, it lists stuff white people just can't live without - such as #41 indie music, #15 yoga , and #118 ugly sweater parties. It's funny because it's so accurate. My favorite is #62 Knowing what's best for poor people, which states, "It is a poorly guarded secret that, deep down, white people believe if given money and education that all poor people would be EXACTLY like them. In fact, the only reason that poor people make the choices they do is because they have not been given the means to make the right choices and care about the right things."
Second site, http://www.adbusters.org/.
Adbusters is a non-profit, anti-consumerist organization that publishes a magazine and is best known for its parody advertisements or "subvertisements,"such as this spoof of Absolute vodka. The website also contains articles about a variety of political and culture topics. I first came across this site when a friend sent me the article Hipsters: The Dead End of Wester Civilization and I've been hooked ever since. Not suprsingly, Adbusters is mentioned on Stuff White People Like under #82 Hating Corporations.
Third site, www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com.
The name says it all. There are a lot of cats that look like Hitler, or as the website calls them "kitlers," so why not post picture of them on the internet for all to enjoy.
