L'incroyable business de la mort de Ben Laden
LE POINT: Tee-shirts, mugs, étuis iPhone ou tabliers... Des produits dérivés improbables ont déferlé en quelques jours. Échantillon.

Ils ne sont pas vraiment du meilleur goût. "Obama a eu Oussama", "Ben Laden, repose en enfer", "On l'a eu", "Justice", le tout sur fond de photomontages plus ou moins heureux. Une semaine après le raid américain au Pakistan, des centaines de types de tee-shirts célébrant la mort du chef d'al-Qaida sont proposés sur la Toile. Pour une vingtaine d'euros, tout un chacun peut se procurer ces habits déjà présentés comme "historiques" par les sites de vente en ligne. » | Par Cyriel Martin | Mardi 10 Mai 2011

Big Business Wants Immigrants
MAIL ONLINE: The Tories were today forced to defend their manifesto before it was even launched after a stinging assault on immigration policy.

Just hours before David Cameron unveils his make-or-break election blueprint, plans to curb the number of migrants were savaged by business leaders.

London First, the City lobby group that represents many of London's biggest companies and banks, claims the move would threaten British competitiveness at a time when the economy is still in the early stages of recovery.

In a separate attack, the party had to defend itself against accusations it had played the 'race card' by pledging to reduce immigration to levels last seen in the mid-1990s.

Baroness Jo Valentine, London First's chief executive, said members feared the proposals had been put forward to 'appease the populist vote' with little thought for the longterm consequences.

'How we build our links with the Far East and the Bric (Brazil, Russia, India and China) economies is absolutely fundamental to London's future,' she told The Financial Times.

Omar Saad, a Credit Suisse analyst, said that Nike and other companies are being forced to rethink the effectiveness of the vast sums of money they spend on individual and team sponsorships. Tiger Woods: sports sponsors may slash spending on big stars >>> | Thursday, December 17, 2009
