Yesterday, Yahoo's board officially rejected Microsoft's unsolicited — now hostile — takeover bid, and I had a grand time coming up with headline after headline, but sadly we could only run one of them. Here's our chance to be creative! Come up with a great headline and post it in the comments below. If you've never commented before, sign-up instructions are after the jump. Here are some of our favorites.
- Microsoft finds Yahoo's lack of faith disturbing
- Yahoo asks Microsoft if it really wants to step to this
- Yahoo to Microsoft: Oh, no you di'int
- Jerry Yang to troops: BOHICA
Your comment identity is never linked to an email address in our system, unless you choose to enter one. So long as you choose an obscure screenname, nobody will know it's you. Or, if you're new, you can just submit a smart comment, username and password; it will go into an approval queue. We don't edit individual comments, though we do occasionally ban trolls, or bores, or shameless self-promoters. Almost anything, even needlessly bracing language, is forgiven if there's at least a nugget of information.
