Letter from Continental Airlines Seat 29E

[actual letter | via The Consumerist]

"I am disgusted as I write this note to you about the miserable experience I am having sitting in seat 29E on one of your aircrafts. As you may know, this seat is situated directly across from the lavatory, so close I can reach out my left arm and touch the door."

Roberts' teacher says he wasn't surprised either."

Jeremy Scott's Fast-Food-Themed Fashions

[link | via The Consumerist]

"Jeremy Scott's bio states that his, 'collections are narcissistic without apology, theatrical beyond compare, and designed for women who love to dress up and play the part of ultimate diva.' The ultimate double-whopper with cheese and bacon diva, that is."
