What the fuck Yahoo?

Screenshot of article after the jump...

The sad thing is, I knew this was going to happen when I read the headline. A woman dared be more popular than male athletes, so let's boost the searches of the male athletes! Ha! Take that... oh, Candice Parker. See the teeny tiny teeny tiny teeny tiny little photo of her in the top left corner? See any mention of her in the article? Nope. But there sure are a bunch of guys being mentioned.

What the fuck Yahoo?

Oh right. It's Yahoo. Notoriously sexist, racist, awful horrible yahoo... that also hosts my email. Fuck.

P.S. Candice Parker: well done. Be proud of yourself.

Can you explain a little more the part that is outrageous? I am not doubting it is there, but I am confused and feeling silly that I don't see what you see. Doesn't it say "We're happy to report" and "Let's hear it for Candace Parker"?

I am not trying to be snarky at all, just sincerely trying to understand what is going on in the article.

Thanks in advance for clarifying for me!

I clearly see a "Let's hear it for Candace Parker". Did you search for "Candice" (incorrect spelling)?

A lot of teasers for yahoo and msn articles are only related to a small part of the overall article.

I also don't see a problem with this article. It appears to be a harmless fluff article about sports jerseys, and they seem to congratulate Candace for being in the Top 5.

Maybe I need some clarification?
