...kindergarten, but in light of Kaavya’s plagiarism controversy, it is obvious that there are many of us at Harvard, and elsewhere, who need to be reminded of this. Behold the glee and malice in a Gawker quote, “Let’s just sum it all up with the obvious: Isn’t it kind of awesome to see an overachieving Indian kid finally do something wrong?” Granted, most people were not nearly as spiteful, but there were a great number who gleaned a great amount of pleasure from this event...
...company’s stores. “Instead of embracing the notion of the ‘expanding pie’ vision of capitalism—more for everyone, or win-win,” Mackey argues, “they [unions] frequently embrace the zero-sum philosophy of win-lose.” Aware that union busting is illegal, Mackey persuaded the employees in the few stores that dared to collectivize to discontinue their efforts.

Viswanathan has even been compared to Barry Bonds...
...Danger Mouse (“The Grey Album”), is so goddamn funky that it reached number one on the UK singles charts in its first week of release…before the single was even sold in stores. Downloads of the song alone outnumbered the sum of sales across all media of the nearest competitor (who was, ironically enough, Morrissey), making history in the process. The video, unfortunately, is not as history-worthy. The concept makes enough sense, expounding on the theme of “crazy” with a continuously changing Rorschach test...
