Had a female CEO. She worked until her water broke and then was back in the office 3 days after giving birth and was traveling within 10 days of the birth.
Some women don't give a fuck. Child birth is just another box to check.

what is sexist about calling a board of directors stupid for hiring a pregnant woman?
moreover, a woman who is having her FIRST child?
moreover, a woman who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars already?
how hard do you think she is going to try to pull yahoo out of the ditch for what? a hundred million or two? to increase her net worth by 20-40%? at the expense of her family?
this is a vanity project for her so she can say she was CEO of a massive company once. it's resume' padding before she squirts out another kid and retires.

Let's be honest, she could be blind, deaf, dumb and limbless and it still wouldn't be her fault if she didn't turn Yahoo around. The company is beyond repair.
Almost all of their revenue comes from selling advertising. Just like television networks, newspapers and magazines. Nobody ever calls Time magazine a tech company.

Anonymouse // Sep 8, 2008 at 5:36 pm I agree with your arguments in this post. Having foleowld Zapiros brilliant work since the disappearance from the media space of Sydney Chama, I have always found his cartoons to be, above all other aspects, reflective of the real situation on the ground. He does not often create fictitious cartoons that you cannot relate to our day-to-day socio-political and economic life. Affected people, in particular, may not like it when he (a) satiristically reproduce their acts, particularly if they are shameful acts because this would, among other things, increase and broaden peoples awareness about them and their misdeeds, and (b) the brilliant, intelligent, creative and metaphoric way in which he is reproducing such actions because it often unearth the hidden meanings associated with such acts that could not easily be understood as well as the extent of the damage or positive impact that such acts may have to our life in general. For ease of reference in this regard you can refer to his previously published books that are largely dominated by the socio-political and economic events of the Mandela and Desmond Tutu era as well as the beginning of the Mbeki era.I agree with Zapiro in his interview with SAFM in the morning yesterday that this could have happened anywhere, anytime and to anybody provided the situation that gives rise this cartoon exists as it is the case in our country now. Unfortunately during the Mandela era we did not have in SA a leader of any industry, politics included, who performed so legendarily like our own JZ did to date to have gotten himself involved unintelligently (for a former ANC head of intelligence) so in a myriad combination of immoral (his acquittal noted, in any case this cartoon is not about his previous rape case but rather about his current conduct and behavior relating to his pending prosecution for graft, gross undermining of the rule and attack to the judiciary which is tantamount to raping the judicial system), unacceptable and unjustifiable violent political act with utter disrespect of the law, while aspiring to be the president of the same country whose justice system he is destroying with impunity. Had we had such a person, I have no doubt Zapiro could have picked it up, and captured it in the same bravery manner as he did us proud with regard to this one today. The same goes for had it happened during Sydney Chamas time, save the apartheid laws by then; he w
Googe insiders are saying she kept two huge secrets, that she was interviewng for the Yahoo job and that she was pregnant.
