New video tour reveals secrets of Yahoo cow cult
Yahoo's new corporate blog features a video tour of the cult's headquarters (the Branch Yahoodian Complex). Listen with the sound off; the following commentary will explain what's going on.
- 0:22 — As "Yahoos" enter the complex, they bow to this purple calf in the foyer. The calf is occasionally blessed with holy milk by Brother Seth Godin.

- 0:41 — Don't take the blue pill DON'T TAKE THE BLUE— Damn.

- 1:17 — Level 1 Yahoos are not allowed to speak but must communicate by grunting and pointing.
- 1:40 — It is a popular myth that Yahoo offices are named after Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors. In fact, it's the other way around. No one knows why Yahoo named an office "Chunky Monkey."
- 1:48 — Cult co-founders Jerry Yang and David Filo refuse to film any shot for more than one take. The last videographer who defied them was reported to the Chinese government.

- 7:17 — Also an army made of Shakira's unstable breasts.
- 7:44 — The group yodel is another well-known auditing process. Yahoos under Level 4 may only whisper-yodel.
- 8:20 — Thanks for visiting Yahoo! Come back Thursday for ritual sacrifice! I mean, Bingo Night!
