Huffington Post: Craigslist Yelp Ad Offers Money In Exchange For Good New York Restaurant Reviews

Posted: 14 May 2013 07:09 AM PDT

There are countless stories about how Yelp can damage small businesses and countless more about how Yelp reviews aren't particularly reliable. To add more fuel to the fire, a recent Craigslist ad demonstrates just how shady Yelp reviews can get.

The ad reads:

We are looking for established Yelp accounts with over 50 reviews (please link Yelp account) to write well-written reviews for a restaurant. Many of these restaurants have a bi-polar review history (mostly positive 4's and 5's but a couple unfiltered 1's dragging them down, either from competitors or disgruntled ex-staff) and need a few 5's to rebuild their rating back. If this is something you'd be interested in, let us know.

Huffington Post: Zoe Saldana Weight Revealed On Allure Magazine Cover (PHOTO)

The cover shoot inside the mag puts all 115 pounds of Zoe on full display, styling her sans clothes in a tasteful nude shoot. But was it important to have her actual weight on the cover, or does the headline strike you as odd? The only time we typically see celebrity weight discussed on magazine covers is when the story centers on weight loss (and usually after a celeb gives birth, like here, here and here).

Posted: 14 May 2013 07:11 AM PDT

The year was 1971: Apollo 14 lands on the moon, the country is still mired in Vietnam, and Donna Summer is just starting her career. For a handful of local Los Angeles gay bars, it's just business as usual as they place advertisements in what few publications comprise LGBT media.

Back then, these ads were no big deal. But today, they're a fascinating glimpse into the life of the Los Angeles homosexual of the early '70s. Check out those outfits! The term "groovy guys!" And reference to a mysterious drink called "the manhole," the taste of which we can only imagine.
