Yahoo: Microsoft vs. News Corp.
 
Recently Microsoft's bid to buy Yahoo was rejected by Yahoo's board of directors. One might initially conclude that that's a good thing, except for the fact that their other option is being purchased by News Corporation.

For the purposes of comparison, I am going to rank Microsoft as a harmless bunny that refuses to share it's chocolate eggs with everyone*. On the other end of the spectrum is News Corporation, that runs around smashing eggs and telling people the world is better off with the eggs smashed. Additionally, News Corporation rapes children.

So, to the purpose of this post; who would you prefer to take control of Yahoo? Microsoft or News Corporation?

*Further, Google gives chocolate eggs to everyone for free and Apple somehow convinces everyone that buying super-premium eggs is a better idea than normal eggs.

Given the extremely reliable information that News Corp. rapes children, I'd rather Microsoft pwnt Yahoo.

Also, MS isn't a media corporation, so that would also get my nod.

I'd rather Microsoft did. But why do they want Yahoo in the first place?

Either way I hope this doesn't mean anything bad for my Geocities account.

I'm not sure whats worse, Microsoft gobbling up the whole internet or News Corp gobbling up all of the media.

Don't forget me gobbling up all of the apple pie that turns put Jim screwed...
Well, naturally, I'll have to go for the better society adjusted company (haha, as if)...Microsoft...for now.
