Yahoo confirmed today that a full scale salary freeze has been put in place due to the less-than-stellar performance of Yahoo over the last year (err 8 years since their stock reached its high in 2001), and of course the recession that is simply killing off one company after another.  This isn’t really shocking news, as I’m sure it will be just the first of many cost-cutting actions Yahoo will take over the next few months as Bartz takes measures to ressurect the company, earning her full $19M along the way of course.

Here is what the company spokes person, Brad Williams had to say:

“Our management decided this was the responsible thing to do.  Some workers still could get raise this year if they are promoted to other jobs.”

Is it just me, or has anyone else NOT seen this kind of ad on Yahoo Buzz before?  I have never seen anything ad-related to pornography on Yahoo Buzz ever, and was quite shocked to see such an ad there.  Have I missed something? I was reading a story on bedroom pillows and that ad shows up?  WTF?  I just don’t think that is right IMO - what are your THOUGHTS on it? I don’t want you guys to start calling me Mr. Cleaver, but I would hate if my kids accidentally clicked on the cute looking bunny not knowing what it was.  I think this is a big mistake by Yahoo.  Or what if you were at work, and a boss walked by and saw the ever famous Playboy bunny on your computer screen?  Anyway, like I said – I would love to hear your thoughts on this?
