Michael Arrington CMC '92 Told By Yahoo! CEO to "F--- Off"



Michael Arrington CMC '92 got smacked down by the CEO of Yahoo! earlier. Arrington, the founder of TechCrunch, is known (fairly or unfairly) as something of a blowhard in tech circles for his Gawker-esque site, TechCrunch.

Essentially, she told him to "f--- off" after he asked some pretty dumb questions.

The whole interview is worth watching, but here's the transcript of the hilarious exchange.

Bartz: I've been at this company 16 months. and so I'm supposed to have an iPad, iPod... I mean, c'mon. You are involved in a very tiny company [pause]

Arrington: Very tiny.

Bartz: And it probably takes a long time to even convince yourself what the hell to do. So I don't want to hear any crap about something magical that the fine people of Yahoo are supposed to do in this short time. So f--- off.
