Watching Tuesday's congressional hearing with Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and general counsel Michael Callahan, I was struck by their impressive adherence to their 2, possibly 3, talking points. And their utter lack of human decency.
While understanding the need for caution in setting a precedent, I echo Rep. Chris Smith's comment that he remained "absolutely bewildered and angered" that Yahoo has not pledged to stop similar collaboration in the future.
As I muster the gumption to resign from my Yahoo! Fantasy Football league (The Bruisers will surely drop from their already feeble showing of 6th out of 8 teams), and forgo the Yahoo! Music Jukebox, I hope and pray these small efforts will be of solidarity with our brother Shi Tao. May his imprisonment be surprisingly short as the light of international pressure shines where Yahoo! continues to fail so vividly.
