Kedrosky is right, this is by far the most humorous take on Icahn’s proposed slate of directors:
Sake Oil – aka Mark Cuban: a An entrepreneur with a history of creating companies that he then sells for far more than they are worth to sucker corporations. Cuban sold broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7bn at the height of the dotcom bubble – useful experience for selling Yahoo to Microsoft.
Although while this is clever, they did miss tying it to another movie with their Independence Day reference in the final paragraph, something about hacking into the mother ship with a trojan horse, planting a virus, then escaping just before it explodes.
