Web Celebs: Speakers Behind the Internet’s Biggest Pop Culture Phenomena
May 14, 2010Today, the biggest names in campus programming aren’t on TV, aren’t from the movies, and aren’t in the music industry–they’re online! The creators of some of the most popular websites in the world, these “web celebs” are having a true cultural impact. Bring these popular speakers to your campus, and meet these icons of the internet yourself.
From Wes Anderson movies to Vespas, Christian Lander observes the Stuff White People Like. More than just an internet success story, he has garnered critical acclaim by the mainstream media, and is recognized as one of the stand-outs of independent blogging. With hilarious, intelligent, and witty advice for “surviving” white culture, Lander talks about how the blog came to life, and how you can translate your own creative ideas into real-life success.
This Week in Blackness is Elon James White’s satirical look at race, politics, and pop culture in so-called “post-racial” America. The breakout blog has drawn critical acclaim, and is considered “the perfect [comedy] for the Obama era” by Princeton University and “precise, thought-provoking and hilarious” by the co-creator of The Daily Show. Discussing everything from BET to the Tea Party, White’s biting satire is fresh, funny, and always on target.
The mastermind behind internet memes I Can Has Cheezburger and FAIL Blog, Ben Huh has single-handedly built one of the largest blog networks in the world. Called the “King of Cheez” by Wired magazine, his blogs, featuring LOLcats, photobombs, and squee-worthy baby animals, have demonstrated that you can transform seemingly crazy ideas into financial success.
