What's with the fucking mimes?

Roadrunner Records, home to Slipknot and other chunky, hairy male metal bands has declared singer Amanda Palmer (of Dresden Dolls fame) uncommercial, refusing to promote her latest single, video and album. One reason why? Her belly is too fat in her latest video. Fans throw a rebellyon.

EveryScape launched this morning. It's a ground-level mapping service similar to Google's "Street View", only it offers you an "autodrive" feature that automatically moves you through a city or down a ski slope. There are links to information about stores and restaurants in the view and the ability to go inside buildings and look around. It currently features views from Aspen, New York, Boston, and Miami. And of course the obligatory view of a colorful mime with a man-bag. [via]

A mime is a terrible thing to waste. OK, so apparently he's anything but quiet, but, I couldn't resist. As the article states, simply not liking someone isn't enough reason to obstruct a person's livelihood. Does a unique whistle and skillful balloon-animal making make up for homophobic slurs and public drunkenness?
