Figures from Tim Burton's film The Corpse Bride, among others, on display in the window of Album 84 on boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris. Located here in the Latin Quarter since 1948, Album 84 is the oldest bookshop in France specializing in comics, better known as BD or bande dessinee.

United takes back upgrade from exec in track suit

Definitely bad business for United, possibly even worse than their recent lost-luggage double whammy on the musician whose "United Breaks Guitars" video went viral.

Travel blog Gadling reports that United revoked the first-class upgrade of a passenger traveling in a track suit. Oops! That passenger was an articulate, otherwise very well-groomed Best Buy vice president and frequent flyer. Watch the video for yourself.

Will Thomas of Fox News DC has since reported that United has responded and is investigating the allegations.
