Ben Huh (CEO of the Cheezburger Network) just publicly announced, via The Daily What, that he would like to take Reddit off of worldwide publisher Condé Nast’s stiff, corporately-handcuffed hands, in a reaction to the Prop 19 debacle I’ve been watching on Reddit all day today.

Update: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian responds.

From Iowa State Daily:

Tin-Shi Tam, Iowa State University carillonneur and associate professor of music and theatre, performed Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” on the carillon at noon on Aug. 27, 2010.  Brad Riley, senior in journalism and mass communication, started a Facebook group and asked people to send Tam emails requesting that she play the song.

Bobby and Ben add a New York location to the west coast lifestyle brand’s growing empire.

Along with a SSUR collaboration, they’ve got some in-store exclusives set for the opening.
