> What is Favela Chic? Favela Chic is when you have lost everything material, everything you built and everything you had, but you're still wired to the gills! And really big on Facebook. That's Favela Chic.

> MySpace is a favela. You can have a hut in Myspace. And you live in the hut until they pull the plug.

> You can't insure it, you can't get title to it, you can't raise kids in it. There's no inspection of the water, the heating, the electricity. It's a slum!

> You built it yourself, with play-labor, but politically it's a slum. It's a squelette.
