Riding on the back of the success of Stuff White People Like, new-ish blog Things Bogans Like is my latest online discovery.
Amongst the things bogans like: Bear Grylls (sorry all my definitely-not-bogan guy—and girl—friends); 3D (ie. Avatar—again, sorry!); the Logies; pre-mixed drinks; Aussie frickin’ hip hop; celebrity fragrances (guilty; I have succumbed to a few of these over the years); Hey, Hey It’s Saturday; anal (and no, not the retentive kind); the Lynx Effect; forgiving celebrities (more on that to come); Pandora bracelets (I second that; can’t stand Pandora!); doing their back in; Zoo Weekly; ADHD; Two & a Half Men; St. Patrick’s Day; tabloid “news” shows A Current Affair and Today/Tonight; News Ltd. newspapers; their children on Facebook; La Porchetta; Ministry of Sound; Southern Cross tattoos; glassing—excuse my French—c*nts; joining moronic Facebook groups; Thailand; tribal tattoos; “F*ck off, we’re full” stickers; pretty much everything to do with weddings; The Secret, and self-help books in general; Sexpo; glamour photography; Holdens; Underbelly; the Melbourne Cup (coming from a country town, just about every Cup!); personalised number plates; misspelling their kids’ names; books… but only after the movie comes out; prefacing racist statements with “I’m not racist, but…”; and my two favourite markings of the bogan: tramp stamps and Ed Hardy—the uniform of the bogan!
This is a website worth checking out, as it is updated daily. So long as the bogan continues to flourish in Australian culture, so too will Things Bogans Like.

I love this so much, You are absolutely spot on. Although I thought I would have seen AC/DC on the list. I had to laugh because I work in the heart of the bogan district. I see these people four days a week. I read it twice I enjoyed it so much.
Thanks, Nat! Actually, Acca Dacca WAS on the list, I just didn’t include it here at the risk of being called un-Australian, or some such thing. It is actually one of the most recent “Things Bogans Like”, which can be found here: http://thingsboganslike.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/welcome-to-bogan-bribe-watch/
Hey Scarlett, awesome website! I’d like to add Phar Lap to the list…also oversized t-shirts with wolves, tigers or Native Americans on them.
