The BBC needed an illustration for its story about Ubuntu, the sub-Saharan African philosophy meaning "I am because we are," which Bill Clinton this week exhorted the British Labor Party to embrace.
Well, what illustrates Ubuntu? A hug? An image of many hands supporting one person? How about this?
Yep, it's a thong emblazoned with the logo of Ubuntu, a form of the open-source Linux operating system, added to some Cafepress store as an afterthought. Chances are no one ever bought this made-to-order thong, so it technically doesn't exist, but now it's in the BBC News. Fantastic.

Not to me, obviously.
No, seriously.
