Great. Just what we need: Animal House, Inc. I am SO glad I got out of all that BS years ago.

At the South by Southwest Interactive festival in March, I attended a talk titled "Adding Value as a Non-Technical No Talent Ass-Clown."... Van Horn wasn't even 10 minutes into the talk, but several clearly irritated women (and a couple of men) had gotten up and walked out.

Exactly what were these people expecting from a seminar titled "Adding Value as a Non-Technical No Talent Ass-Clown."?  That's like someone getting irritated and walking out of the Heart Attack Grill because they didn't have salads.
