Shareholder Backs Yahoo!, Supports Independence

mikkl666 writes "In a follow-up to yesterday's story about the struggle between Microsoft and Yahoo!, major Yahoo! shareholder Legg Mason has announced that they are ready to back the company in their effort to keep out of Microsoft's grip. According to portfolio manager Bill Miller, 'the problem is Microsoft blundered with the letter this weekend. Telling the shareholders you're going to take something away from them is not a way to get their support'. Nevertheless, he believes Microsoft will end up paying what it takes to own Yahoo."

I was kinda looking forward to their new slogan:

"Where do you want to Yahoo today?"

I'm confused...

Does Yahoo have really aerodynamic chairs or something?

The real question is whether Yahoo has lavadynamic chairs. Ballmer is Satan after all, and I suspect most of Microsofts chairs have turned to ashes in the lava surrounding Ballmers Altar. And the helperdevils apprently havn't come up with a good solid chair that can stand the heat yet, and I think the reasoning is that, because of all the red in Yahoos brandname, Yahoos chairs may be more resilient to the lava. Thus it makes real good business sense to take over Yahoo, because, you know, then you get all the chairs and stuff.

I've said it before, if Microsoft eliminates Yahoo Cribbage I will kill myself.

Do you want that blood on your hands, Microsoft?

You clearly aren't familiar with the Great Netscape Mass Suicide Event. 100,000 dead in minutes. I hear Ballmer watches it every Christmas.
