Um, come on people. This is a story that is literally based on a quote, a quote that comes at the end of a brief story that has no actual facts or numbers. The "news" in this story is that a NYU professor (apologies, a "Clinical Professor of Marketing" who teaches "Brand Strategy and Digital Marketing to second-year MBA students", according to his bio page) went on one of Bloomberg's TV shows and said some catchphrasey things that will most definitely be effective in popularizing his own digital brand.

Usually, statements like "overpaid" can be substantiated by at least a few numbers.

Edit: Also, the insinuation that getting knocked up is a way for women to have job security is a bit ugly. Also, probably something stated by someone who hasn't yet carried a child to term yet.

Agreed. I think the title here is misleading and should be removed or changed, especially given the title on Bloomberg is:

> NYU Professor: Yahoo Should Be Euthanized, and Marissa Mayer Is the Most Overpaid CEO in History

Because she's a women?

Seems to me you could argue almost all CEO's are grossly overpaid.

Edit: I think if you downvote me you should provide some proof of non-grossly overpaid CEO's.
