we have been called out on our cultural vices

The feverish thrills my people (white overeducated thirtyish types from the coasts/urban areas) are receiving at the vibrating hand of the website "Stuff White People Like" can now only be articulated via the super-self-conscious medium of blogging about how much the memes on the site apply to your life.
