Yoo-Hoo, Yahoo: Shareholder Catcalls Marissa Mayer

by Maggie Mallon

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer hosted her first shareholder meeting Tuesday morning, and things got a little awkward when a not-so-secret admirer used a Q&A session to make an uncomfortable advance. Said shareholder George Polis: "I have 2,000 shares of Yahoo. I'm Greek and I'm a dirty old man, and you look attractive."

...And just like that, shareholder meetings become yet another place where women experience unsolicited catcalls. After expressing his dirty old man feelings, Polis proceeded to ask a question about dividends. Seamless transition is seamless.
