So You Think You've Got It Rough?

At least you don't work in an Indian chromite mine.

I'm a big fan of this National Geographic photo set of the 10 Most Polluted Place on Earth. It's reassuring to see most of these mines being worked by children. That kind of smog can really play hell on an older person's lungs.

50 Cent on his way to retirement...

According to an article just to me e-mailed by Electronic Vagrant, looks like Kanye West has outsold 50 Cent by over 100,000 CD's. Great news for those of us who want 50 Cent to retire.
In 50's defense, he does want to go by Curtis Jackson now and get into movies. And as my future wife pointed out, he did have such cult classics as "In Da Club" and "Candy Shop".
And don't feel sorry for 50. If you haven't heard, he made a cool $400 million thanks to Coke buying Glaceau.

But, I'm glad to see all of you listened and went out and bought Kanye's CD. My new marching orders are to keep hiding 50's CD in other places in stores. I don't expect you to buy more than one Kanye CD...that's just asking too much....
