哦，雅虎。可怜的，可怜的雅虎。

在经历了一个充满尴尬和比帕丽斯·希尔顿有生之年还要多弯腰的夏天之后，这家无法再做到这一点的小公司，就在你认为它已经让每个人都相信一切都很好的时候，现在雅虎^(Yahoo)搞砸了自己的股东投票——是的，同样的投票最终让其高管保住了工作。

在最后一个合适的转折中，雅虎^(Yahoo)聘请计算选票，拉了佛罗里达州^(Florida)，并搞砸了计数。Broadridge Financial Solutions表示，“截断错误”导致首席执行官杨致远^{(CEO Jerry Yang)}和其他高管的选择远远高于他们应有的选择。在 2000 年的一次糟糕的倒叙中，“重新计票”的概念正在复苏。

不过，这种混乱并没有戏剧性的结局。布罗德里奇^(Broadridge)说，它的错误并没有改变结果——杨和他的^{(— Yang)}雅虎^(yahoos)董事会不会去任何地方——但它确实降低了他们的胜利幅度。也相当^(Pretty)显着。

最初的结果显示，只有 14.6% 的股东对杨^(Yang)投了反对票。现在？它翻了一倍多，达到了 33.7%。董事长罗伊·博斯托克紧随其后。他拒绝投票的比例从错误的 20.5% 跃升至准确的 39.6%——但仍然不足以让他失去工作。

大多数报告表明，大多数拒绝投票是“心怀不满的股东”的抗议迹象。没有惊喜。
对于这些事态发展和整个夏天的苦难，我们现在向这家本年度最受嘲笑——也是最荒谬——的公司颁发了一份迟来的荣誉。雅虎，有一件值得骄傲的事情：您是我们享有盛誉的TechCult 讽刺致敬^{(TechCult Sarcastic Salute)}奖的最新获得者。这是一个一致的决定。话虽如此，但有一些截断错误的迹象……所以我们需要几周时间来完全确认你的征服。

Yahoo…Putting The Funny Back In Failure

Oh, Yahoо. Poor, poor Yahoo.

After a summer filled with embarrassment and more bending over than Paris Hilton’s seen in her lifetime, the little company that couldn’t have done it again, just when you thought it’d convinced everyone that all was well, now Yahoo has botched up its own shareholders’ vote — yes, the same vote that ultimately let its executives keep their jobs.

In a final fitting twist, Yahoo hired to count the votes, pulled a Florida, and messed up the count. Broadridge Financial Solutions says a “truncation error” caused options for CEO Jerry Yang and other top executives to come in far higher than they should have. In a bad flashback from the year 2000, the concept of “recount” is making a resurgence.

There’s no dramatic end to this derangement, though. Broadridge says its error didn’t change the outcome — Yang and his board of yahoos aren’t going anywhere — but it did reduce their margin of victory. Pretty significantly, too.

The original results showed only 14.6 percent of shareholders withholding their votes for Yang. Now? It’s more than doubled to a full 33.7 percent. Chairman Roy Bostock’s not far behind. His percentage of withheld votes jumped from an erroneous 20.5 percent to an accurate 39.6 percent — still not enough to cost him his job, though.

Most reports indicate the majority of withheld votes were signs of protest by “disgruntled shareholders.” No surprise.
For these developments and an entire summer of suffering, we now issue a long-overdue honor to what has to be the year’s most ridiculed — and ridiculous — corporation. Yahoo, here’s one thing to be proud of: You’re the newest recipient of our prestigious award, the TechCult Sarcastic Salute. It was a unanimous decision. With that being said, though, there are some signs of a truncation error…so we’ll need a few weeks to confirm your conquest fully.
