Within the last week, it occurred to me that there's a cultural phenomenon that totally passed over my consciousness within the last few months. I quickly rectified this by reading just about every entry on the absolutely brilliant blog, Stuff White People Like--a hysterical anthropological analysis of current liberal yuppie, monied culture. I highly recommend it. And yes, there are some features of this culture to which my friends and I aspire.
That said, I think it is absolutely hysterical and a little ironic that there will be a Stuff White People Like: The Book, brought to you by RandomHouse--otherwise known as The Man itself.
Seriously, when you think of the consolidation of the media, there are about 5 big publishing houses (RandomHouse, HarperCollins, Penguin Putnam Trade, Doubleday and LittleBrown) publishing the majority of the "bestsellers." It's a bit ridiculous.
Nevertheless, congratulations, Christian Landers. I hope you enjoy your moment in the cultural sun.
