While now able to afford real women engineers, Google engineers are still embarrassed by their inflatable booth

Laughing Squid photographer Scott Beale, shooting pictures at this week's Web 2.0 Expo, was rebuffed by marketers staffing the Google booth. Company policy, they said, forbade photography of the booth. Beale complained on Twitter, and word rapidly issued from the Googleplex: It was actually okay, they said, to publicize Google's attempt at gathering publicity. Can you suggest a better headline? Leave it in the comments. (Yesterday's drew no deserving suggestions.) (Photo by viss)
