"Further damning evidence of the undemocratic nature of last week's election in Zimbabwe that returned longtime leader Robert Mugabe as president emerged Saturday in the form of video footage of blatant vote-rigging." - Anne Bouey via Bookmarklet
"Last week, Yelp purged an undisclosed number of accounts after finding that the business owners had swapped positive reviews with other business owners. Yelp also regularly deletes reviews it believes are phony. The move sparked an outcry among local businesses, and has even led some entrepreneurs to band together with thoughts of a class-action lawsuit. Their reasoning is, if they legitimately spend their money and patronize a service, why can't they review it?" - Anne Bouey via Bookmarklet
"On a recent afternoon deep in the Amazon's rain forest, members of the Surui tribe, which made contact with the outside world less than 40 years ago, could not resist the urge known to modern man - they googled themselves.

Cool! Environmentally, if made well, these bags impact the environment almost the same as regular bags (There's the ink issue. Are they using soy-based inks?). Money, well, that's not real, just an accounting fiction. My question would be "Do you want your money to go to Louis Vuitton employees/management/investors/suppliers"? - Mitchell Tsai
This actually makes a twisted sort of sense. A few years back, my town's mayor decided that we'd be switching from our old throw-your-bags-at-the-curb system of trash pickup to standardized Big Green Receptacles. His stated reason? Because those bags made our streets look ugly on garbage days. Now just extend that logic to the bags themselves. - Roger Benningfield
those are actually available on canal street in nyc already - Cee Bee
I'm a designer and I'm all for things looking nicer but unless these bags are sold for the same price as regular trash bags I've lost respect for Pooey Vuitton. - Michael Narciso
CeeBee-that figures-what isn't? Missing my Canal St shopping days. - Mark Forman

This has to be the funniest thing on FriendFeed today. - possible248
Tacky. Everyone know Versace garbage bags are what's in this year. - Chris Baskind
Beating a dead horse here, but... the only thing those bags are good for is to fill them full of Louis Vuitton crap and throw it all away. Neither I nor my wife find that nasty design good for anything else. So, next time someone asks, just say "Didn't you know, it's for packing your ugly LV bag and disposing of it safely." Sort of like poop bags for doggie walks. *The* thing to carry poop in. - Raoul Pop

Hehe, just realized I could hide this from screen... best feature ever. - Michael Narciso
There a way to unhide things after the undo button goes away besides going back to the persons original feed? Not that I need to see well fit man in pink underwear again but just for future reference. - Michael Narciso
@michael I am at work and now half the girls in the office are around my computer looking at this picture. I haven't seen them this excited since 5 guys were doing construction outside the office! - Michelle Miller
@MM remind me why I need to see this first thing when I check friendfeed? - Rick Schmidt

I could actually see this helping Obama. Those who supported Bill Clinton are already on Obama's side, and those independents or soft-right folk who despised Clinton may be more able to vote for Obama if they see that he's not like Bill Clinton. - Kevin Fox

So glad to see such progressive and positive measures by the government to treat widespread addiction and co-morbidities (HIV) in Iran. Needle exchange programs and methadone treatment are a good start. I understand Iran now has >40,000 members in NA - there is hope. - Jack Norris
