I recently created http://feedbark.com with pretty much the same idea as this. You use the service and submit anonymous feedback against someone's identity. That portion just never seemed to gain traction, at least amongst the small number of users I had try it out. There was a restriction that feedback had to be approved before it's shown, which I suppose slightly detracted from the "instant gratification" of submitting unsolicited feedback to someone.

Ultimately, I cut out that part of the service because in order to do it "right" (i.e. avoid slander and general hostility), the feature just doesn't have enough juice to get traction.

After searching for a bit, it looks like Unvarnished has a similar idea. It's a Yelp for people. Not sure how much traction it's getting.
