Yahoo Offered Lap Dances At Hack Event
Fotograf writes "Yahoo's latest embarrassment seems like a sign that the company is just trying too hard to be cool. The latest debacle is earning the company some additional publicity. After Yahoo hosted Taiwan Open Hack Day, a special event for engineers and developers that was held last weekend, a series of photos found their way onto the internet — as ill-thought out decisions often do. Yahoo offered lap dances to the attendees of the hack event. Since the pictures have come out the company has decided to apologize."
Now that's a nice company issued laptop. ZING!
My company never offers me lapdances. Hell, they give us a hard time if we requisition a new laptop.
If libertarians are so opposed to effective government, why don't they all move to Somalia?
Why wasn't I invited?
I have a laptop, therefore I also have a lap. why didn't I get invited? That's it! No more Yahoo for me... I only Google from now on.
Take that big media!
(ha ha...my captcha is "quagmire"...giggity!)
Just goes to show you that you can read all of the documentation you want, but experience is what really matters.
The one IT related conference I DON'T go to... AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENS!
Not really a big deal.. they offer blow jobs to congressmen all the time..

intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Get the popcorn... this is going to be an epic thread. We've already had the "Wish I was there" post, it's time for the feminist wing to turn up. Oh the objectification!
This is slashdot. I have yet to see a feminist wing.
I'm starting to think GNU is the problem with "GNU/Linux" these days.
Personally, I always prefer a lap dance when the stripper is crying.

Don't blame me, I voted for Cthulhu.
.stripper(): slowly removes the HTML elements of your page, revealing something naughty underneath.
.poleDance(): automatically adds a vertical navigation bar to your site, then teases you when you want to click on something
.Titillate(): a replacement for .Console(), to make sure the programmer is, um, "properly aware" of script feedback

Because I read the headline as some hick/yahoo stumbling onto a hack event and being offered a lap dance by... someone. It was dredging up some incredibly disturbing images that were half Deliverance and half cosplay gone horribly horribly wrong.
For not announcing the dances ahead of time so more engineers could plan on attending. Duh.
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
I am heterosexual and I definitely see the difference.
They aren't called Yahoo! for nothing!
Pictures or it didn't happ... Oh, wait...
Putting the "anal" back into "analyst"...
OMG! A real female on slashdot!
:-)
It's time like these that I wish slashdot's "Alter Relationship" user option was more powerful.
English is not this
Some people actually dig that sort of thing.
In my case, it would be awkward only because I'd feel guilty about making all the men in the crowd feel inferior because of the size of the bulge in my pants.
(No one needs to tell them that I stole a paper-towel tube from the kitchenette just prior to the lapdance).

Speak for yourself. I am a horribly oppressed victim of society.
Well, except for right at this very moment.
Now I'm a just slightly oppressed victim of society.
Does Femenist rhyme with Semenist?
She had already made-up her mind to dump you several days prior.
When he apologized for kissing a different girl.
I'm androgynous, you insensitive clod!

Now you're just talking crazy. This is somebody on Slashdot, the odds against him kissing *one* girl are high enough. Two within several days? I can't even fathom.

And yet when a guy tried to complain here about sexist attitudes in open-source he was shot down to hell...
Don't you mean he was met with ire and denial?

But dont you people understand how this disgraces women? They are human beings, not sex objects!
Now I'm off to redtube.
... There it is considered positively old fashioned and prudish to stop with just lap dances. The competition is sure to be offering a lot more.
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter

There's also "knows how to spell 'feminist'".
Yeah! There's no MEN in FEMINISM!
Bow-ties are cool.
Kevin: I'd like to begin the presentation, but first, THE WHORES!
Dave: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
Mark: THIS IS HIGHLY IRREGULAR!
Bruce: JAY!! This is not how we do business here!

Bruce: We'll have the presentation. *Then* we'll have the whores!
Not to be outdone, the Bing team is hiring crackwhores to give blowjobs.
YAHOOOOOOGIGGITY
This is slashdot. I have yet to see a feminist wing. Hey! We do have a feminist wing! But this is her day off.
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Men want to be objectified too!
Don't anthropomorphize men.

If you want more women in the field, do things that attract them.
The female programmers I know can't get laid either, so I assume your suggestion is to just start bringing in some male strippers as well.
**Actually most aren't, the extremist feminists are a fiction created by the moderate feminists enemies to try to diminish the power of the word feminism (as it's clearly working since both you and the poster two levels up avoid the word because the right has distorted it)
