I found this article pretty compelling and honestly the comments were pretty good as well, for and against. In fact I'm kinda curious how Krugman got such a higher level of commenters on his article?

Good read

I know how lazy it is to just post a wikipedia entry for someone, but the more I read about this guy the more interested I get. I also like his music, durp.

The books that make you stupid list in the lulz topic reminded me of the music version the guy did.

These are sapeurs, acolytes of a 25-year-old movement called la SAPE—La Societé des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes (aka Kitendi, the religion of the cloth) — that revolves around the possession of the most expensive, most luxurious, most extravagant fashion in the world. Followers of SAPE wear $10,000 jackets and $500 shoes, but these mostly young Congolese men otherwise barely eke out a living in the rubble of Kinshasa and Brazzaville or the ghettos of Paris and Brussels, washing dishes or washing bodies, and sometimes selling their own.

They don't carry guns and rarely brawl, but occasionally they invade one another's turf, dressed to the nines, of course, in what they call a "Defi de Sape," or fashion challenge.

Think "West Side Story" meets "Zoolander." They flash labels, not knives.

"If we see them walking down our street, we run home, change into our best and come back out to prove that we're not nobodies," said Willy Biselele, 28, a leader of the 100 Years War.

The winner is the team with the most expensive or rarest collection. One recent standoff was televised by a local station.

Anderson Cooper drags Haitian boy to safety mid-coverage

That dude is ripped. I can't think of another reporter who could pull off jeans and a tshirt on national television.

Holy shit you aren't kidding.

At first I thought "Hey, that guy is about to steal that kid". I think I should go back to bed.
