Still not much to say here, but today, we can offer shey.net’s two biggest audiences — that is, people randomly searching the web for “sweatshops” and “making the band” — a single link, now that Sean Combs’ fashion company has been accused of mistreating Honduran workers. Weird, since we were just talking the other day about how cheap P Diddy is — let’s hope this is one area he won’t skimp on fixing.

R.E.M. will be on the Charlie Rose show tonight… Check local listings for show times. Also, some more Elliott links:…
“Sean Combs obviously has a lot of clout, and he can literally do a lot overnight to help these workers,” Mr. Kernaghan said. “This isn’t Kathie Lee selling shirts in Wal-Mart for $5.99. He is selling T-shirts for $40, and you’d expect the workers to be treated better and earn a little more.”
I found this quote kind of funny coming from the director of the National Labor Committee. Like, if you’re making a shirt for $5.99 it’s okay to abuse your employees.
