Adding some actual potency to Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and president Sue Decker's pitch to Madison Avenue this morning: Jon Hamm, star of AMC's weekly ode to the world of 1960's ad guys, Mad Men.

They wanted more from Jerry Yang. A common theme in the hallways and receptions of the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s annual conference in Phoenix, which ended Tuesday, was how little Jerry Yang did to make the case that Yahoo deserves to be independent. It wasn’t the sort of catty cynicism you so often hear, making fun of someone’s mediocre presentation.

If at first you don't succeed, cast your failure as part of an industry trend. That's the exit strategy of Russell Beattie, who launched mobile startup Mowser after being fired from Yahoo in 2006. Fired, mind you, when Yahoo was firing very few people. Beattie's tale of woe explains Mowser's failure thus:
In a tit-for-tat common in election campaigns, Yahoo chairman Roy Bostock lashed out against Carl Icahn late Wednesday, refuting the accusations made by the billionaire investors earlier in the day. In a public letter, Mr. Bostock said Mr. Icahn’s attack was based on “a series of unsubstantiated allegations from a complaint filed in a Delaware court which grossly misstate the very clear record and position established by the Yahoo Board.
