As long time readers of the site know, we’ve got an unhealthy obsession with the trivial. We write about things like bathroom conditions at Merrill, seating arrangements at SAC Capital, cafeteria sanitation at Bear Stearns. Which is why we’re so bored by most of the stories coming from Davos, where all the masters of the universe have been meeting. It’s all who said what at the panel on global warming, cooling or seizing? Boring! What do these people eat? Drink? Smoke? Where are the small, telling details about what it’s actually like to be at Davos?
Finally, however, Jeff Jarvis has produced the kind of story we can use. After the jump, check out Jarvis’ short video of the real seat of power at Davos.
Here it is, the toilet from the Congress Center at Davos.

Carney, this post has Bess written all over it, come on now
except that it’s poorly written and unfunny, so no.
Where’s Bess???? we want bess!!
Gee…it looks just like the one I got in my office – excpet without that blue thingy. I call it that Oval Office. Isn’t that original? Anyway, I gots to get back to righting ma speech! Otherwise Dick won’t let me have any more candy. Toodalew! I also got to get me one of them scrubbers.
Half – 50% – that is all you get of your much hyped bonus.
Half of my renumeration for an entire year’s worth of 17-hr workdays. Renumeration for a dead social life for almost the entire week. For living in a rathole in a city. For slogging through school to get good grades. For fighting crazy for internship.
And the other half goes to the gorgeous welfare moms. To the responsible people who decided that procreating with 50 people and having 5 kids by the age of 22 – whether you have a job/house/career or not – is a great idea.
To the slugs who drank and screwed their way through community college and set up a family with 3 kids in the suburbs by the age of 25 – irrespective of whether they could afford them or not. They form the ‘middle-class’ and need more of my money.
To the people who went through their fiscally irresponsible lives without saving a penny – and now need others to help keep them alive for the rest of their (increasingly longer) miserable life.
And the socialists want even more.
Thank you.
so Take that! people who can’t afford the internet.
Wtf is goin on with the survey on this page?
“As a Registered Nurse, how would you rate your current job satisfaction?”
Similarly, wtf is up with the lack of posts today Blarney? Too busy playin Rock Band over @ DBHQ or something?
Day started off great and then… kind of falling off guys.
Bess and Keith should just start their own thing.
im with 3:03
i think Bess went back to writing about fashion.
b/c she’s gone for one day? carney leaves for weeks at a time.
Carney, I thought you said Bess will come back this afternoon. what the heck man? what’s this “special project”? buying you Jameson in Boston or something?
@3:03 Somebody should put your words to 25th Hour where the guy just loses it against all races. As Bill “BJ” Clinton put it: “I feel yure pain…”.
