I didn’t know Yahoo owned Craigslist..? ;)

as a faithful male reader, i’m exactly sure why this belongs on hack-a-day.

@shazzner Have you ever been to a big lan party in asia or Europe? Strippers are common at big organised events like that

I’m sure all the guys at this event were totally horrified at this action by the guys at Yahoo, I mean how incosiderate..

On a serious note, Why does this matter!? “Oh were sorry we got some lapdancers in to spice an event up”

What will it be next?

bout time to see a real hack hahahaha

@ Skitchin and Steveo

You make me sad. People from Taiwan are called Taiwanese, not Thai. Thai people are from Thailand. And it’s spelled Thai, not tai.

Seriously , people.

What the hell!?

so like next year they will bring some chippendales?

@ branno: You must be a pretty sad person if you get all butt hurt over two guys on the internet abbreviating words. I said Tai asshole, not Thai. Correct me in person, see if I don’t knock you off that fucking high horse.

I’m sure there are men in other countries that are offended by the uncovered faces of women. Perhaps Yahoo should bow to the will of those groups also and enforce burqas as a dress code for all women who attend.

@CH – point taken and you’re right, as I can see both male *and* female readers are scratching their head over this. Rather it just should have said: why is this a hack? Oh well.

Wow. Through thick and thin I’ve read this site for years now. And this (Mike) is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Goodbye.

Dummm tiss dummm tiss

Dont cha wish your company event was hot like this
Dont cha wish your company event was a freak like this
Dont cha, dont cha

Sorry couldn’t resists :P
I’ll be visiting Yahoo’s booth at the next RSA conference, maybe they give away a dance for free. And I thought Google was cool ;o)

No, you see, having strippers is actually for the good of women. Help make them a little less uptight, am I right fellas? Whoa, girls, don’t get all hysterical on me. Damn must be that time of the month, eh?

So everybody cares about exotic dancers but nobody cared about Yahoo turning over bloggers to the Chinese government to kidnap and torture?

WTF is wrong with people?

So everybody cares about exotic dancers but nobody cared about Yahoo turning over bloggers to the Chinese government to kidnap and torture?

Just the same old story noni mouse. Do what you will, and they don’t care unless it has something to do with sex. The self described, morally ambiguous moral majorty are the scourge of the Earth.

holy….crap…..no “not a hack” posts… and I agree, no vid after break??? if yahoo is doing this….think of the crazy stuff google must do to 1 up them

Man! The most *I* ever got at a conference was a t-shirt. I’ve been going to the _wrong_ conferences!

Where do I sign up?

Those ARE the dissident bloggers on stage being publicly tortured and ridiculed by female interrogators. When reminds me.. I better get around to starting that blog..

Yeah. As is, this is not a hack.

But let’s take your thought one step further: If someone could program an arduino to flash LEDs on the ends of the dancers’…er…”tassles,” you could generate a digital display over each hooter, just like a pair of propeller clocks!

Now, code in a little bit of company advertisement or some corporate logos and bingo! It’s all legit!

With enough tiny LEDs, you might even get the resolution up enough that you could regenerate PowerPoint presentations. I guarantee your audience wouldn’t fall asleep, no matter how boring the speaker…as long as the audience was predominantly male.

Awesome!

>IF the strippers had been wearing some >programmable LEDs then yeah, I’d consider this ?much more hack-a-day worthy ;)

@Phillipe:

“Heterocentrist society?” You’re kidding, right?

I’ve got news for you… this is a “heterocentrist” PLANET. Most animals, at least those above single-celled pond-creatures reproduce *sexually.*

Sexual reproduction is how YOU came into being.

Here’s another bit of news for you. Most people, including myself, really DON’T CARE what your orientation is, and don’t want to hear about it. This is a free society, and we believe in tolerance.

On the other hand, tolerance for an orientation is not the same thing as tolerance for advocacy. So, while I don’t expect that a guy who is born with one leg shorter than the other should be beat up or discriminated against, I also don’t expect that this person would try to convince the world that having a short leg is an “alternate lifestyle.” Nor would I expect that guy to whine that society is so “even-legged-centric.”

I am disinclined to “assume” you are gay, primarily because I simply don’t care. Your militancy makes me more inclined to assume you are the a**hole.

They are lap dancers NOT strippers. boingboing atleast posted it right.

“Lets give the nerd something can’t have in real live, a girl.”

What do they think today’s nerds/geeks look like? This http://tinyurl.com/yhrab6g ???!!!

so what prompted yahoo’s apology? did a bunch of grandmas show up at the event, get upset, and write a bunch of letters or something? why can’t people let each other have fun. big ups yahoo for throwing a good party.
