Yahoo Offered Lap Dances At Hack Event 572
Fotograf writes "Yahoo's latest embarrassment seems like a sign that the company is just trying too hard to be cool. The latest debacle is earning the company some additional publicity. After Yahoo hosted Taiwan Open Hack Day, a special event for engineers and developers that was held last weekend, a series of photos found their way onto the internet — as ill-thought out decisions often do. Yahoo offered lap dances to the attendees of the hack event. Since the pictures have come out the company has decided to apologize."

.stripper(): slowly removes the HTML elements of your page, revealing something naughty underneath.
.poleDance(): automatically adds a vertical navigation bar to your site, then teases you when you want to click on something
.Titillate(): a replacement for .Console(), to make sure the programmer is, um, "properly aware" of script feedback

Some people actually dig that sort of thing.
In my case, it would be awkward only because I'd feel guilty about making all the men in the crowd feel inferior because of the size of the bulge in my pants.
(No one needs to tell them that I stole a paper-towel tube from the kitchenette just prior to the lapdance).

That's because there's a sexy woman dancing around his lap, trying to turn him on, and yet there's a big guy in the corner who'll kick his ass and throw him out if he looks like he's about to touch her.

If you want more women in the field, do things that attract them.
The female programmers I know can't get laid either, so I assume your suggestion is to just start bringing in some male strippers as well.
