Bad Taste Quote

The SMH reports:
“God bless Tiger,” Yahoo chief executive Carol Bartz told a conference this week, adding that all of the main Yahoo news sections got a “huge uplift” from the story.
“It is better than Michael Jackson dying; it is kind of hard to put an ad next to a funeral.”
Now that is an unfortunate quote.

No such thing as bad publicity is there? Quite a crass comment though.

This took place at UBS Investment Bank’s annual Global Media and Communications Conference; I submit that it is an entirely apposite place for a business manager to discuss their business model. The death of Michael Jackson would have been bad for advertising; Cheetah Woods’ story is a far better one for product placement. It doesn’t offend me.
For the record, I have not had sex with Mr Woods.

Nothing bad taste about it, just fact.
