Both Jenelle and I found ourselves at home a little earlier than usual today with an above-average desire to get out of the house. So we did: BCMR and PALCB then home for new recipes and the debate - or in my case, previously-viewed "The Office" on NBC. I also stumbled on a 'We Are Serious Journalists' style rebuff of now-blog Stuff White People Like. This puffed-chest editorial theorized that SWPL is actually ignorant racism. Really? "White people like frisbee sports (#110)" is racist? 'Cuz it sounds to me like pretty clever satire, where 'clever' is a threshold only reached by satirical media which are countered by We Are Serious Journalist editorials. It hurts my feelings that people can't laugh about this stuff. The only serious problem I see with SWPL #110 is that Frisbee is actually a registered trademark of Wham-O! and should be marked with the TM symbol...but that was lost on the We Are Serious Journalists.
