    Yahoo Lap Dances Get No Applause from Twitterati

    The co-founder of Flickr helped lead a chorus of criticism against Yahoo over strippers; an NYU professor liked a sex-blog post; and Sarah Silverman spotted a very gay gym activity. The Twitterati had sexuality on the brain.

    Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake, who sold her company to Yahoo, objected to having lap dances on stage at a Yahoo programming conference. This is the sort of patriarchal BS you get with a male CEO.... err, nevermind. (Pic in top graphic via)

    The Frisky's Jessica Wakeman got a sex-related inquiry from a professor we might have confused with Nouriel "Dr. Doom" Roubini, except that even Roubini would never do the "r u" thing.

    DJ and Lindsay Lohan ex Samantha Ronson already has enough to talk about in therapy, Yankees!

    Comedian Sarah Silverman mocked you, gym rats.

    Facebook's Randi Zuckerberg went to NASA's, err, "base" in Mountain View. Ask them to show you the Google air force, Randi! And the secret lasers. Be sure to wink on that last one.
