Mark Cuban to Take Seat on Yahoo! Board?!

An alert, filmmaking FrontBurnervian points us to news that Carl Icahn and his 59 million shares of Yahoo! are getting itchy. He thinks the board was irresponsible for not doing the Microsoft deal. So he’s launched a proxy war (different from a thumb war) to stir up the board. His first nominee: Cubes.

Me, I was hoping Icahn wold nominate Josh Howard.

    Yahoo! needs to be in the news more often for its stock to rise (this idea works well for celebrities on the drama side) .. so, with that in mind, in addition to Cuban, I would nominate …

    1) Jessica Simpson
    2) Al Sharpton
    3) Bill O’Reilly
    4) Amy Winehouse
    5) Donald Trump
    6) Wick Allison
    7) Elliot Spitzer
    8) Sandra Crenshaw

    If Yahoo had better management back in the late 90’s, we would’ve never heard of Mark Cuban.
