Unicorn: always imaginary, now nonexistent. The trendy little Pan-Asian restaurant, once the one-stop shop for all your Asian culinary needs, has finally galloped away. We kinda had a feeling that an upscale restaurant with snazzy interior design and complimentary champagne wasn’t really Telegraph Avenue material. Don’t worry, you can still find them in SF. [Yelp]

A reminder: Why would you ever want to pay $50 to dance for 12 hours? Because 1350 children die from AIDS every day. Yes, the two are related. [ASUC]

Jimi’s visage is getting a little (purple) hazier. Apparently there have been early-morning sightings of people attempting to wash away his legacy. First Sather Gate, now this? How are we gonna impress high school tour groups? [UCBLJ]

South Side of Berkeley or South Side of LA? The UCPD says that a “prolific sexual deviant” has committed 11 acts of sexual battery south of campus. Skirt-wearers, beware. [Daily Cal]

The Yelp dramz has been around the block already, and today the Daily Cal reported on the relationship between Yelp and local businesses. It’s all he-said-she-said and it boils down to this: It’s been rumored that Yelp offers businesses a chance to highlight positive reviews/suppress negative reviews in exchange for advertisements.

The article doesn’t really conclude whether or not Yelp is truly rubbing elbows with hungry businesses. What will all the Bay Area epicures do if their precious Yelp bible is morally corrupted? This is pandemonium.

But, no, seriously if you want real pandemonium, check out the comments section of the article. It’s complete with Yelp staff impersonations and a spark of a flame war. Who knew Yelp would strike such a nerve?
