Mark Zuckerberg Votes To Keep Peter Thiel On Facebook Board (gizmodo.com)

The decision was made by shareholder vote, but ultimately fell to Zuckerberg, who controls more than 60 percent of the total voting power on the Facebook board.
Just like the Democratic Party presidential primaries!
I would seriously consider paying $140M to not see Hogan's naked ass.
When pressed on the matter, Mark Zuckerberg stated simply, "I felt like, you know, it's way less horrible than the stuff we do as a company at Facebook, so if anything, we should be giving him more responsibilities."
