...exhibition used its own form of shock therapy. Video screens looped graphic footage of lobotomies and electroshock treatment. A nearby board displayed photos of celebrities, such as Kurt Cobain and Elliot Smith, who, the exhibit claimed, had allegedly been killed by psychiatry. Outside on Brattle Street, the group’s organizers handed out DVDs featuring the exhibition’s footage to passers...
...Iraqi police report listed the American soldiers in the convoy who fired on Mehdi's car as "Lt. Thanie Painter ... driver Sgt. Phillips ... Sgt. Sagona ... Sgt. Elliot and Sgt. Shakespeare."

An elite membership, which comes with a personal concierge available 24 hours a day, costs-well, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. "We're not saying Quintessentially is for everyone," Elliot admits. Those of us who can't afford an invite to the party will just have to find our Patagonian blueberries and albino peacocks elsewhere...
