As if we needed another reason to love Yelp….

What a lovely fail to wake up to in my inbox…
To be perfectly clear, when I contacted the staff at SF Women Against Rape to let them know about what they were have purported to have sponsored, they were unaware that their name had been used in conjunction with such a horrifically flawed attempt at crafting a catchy, clever, innuendo-filled headline.
This is the last straw in what I find to be a pattern of shortsightedness regarding user privacy and safety, questionable sales tactics, and generally tasteless conduct on the part of yelp hq, and as of today, I’m removing all of my “useful” content – I’m not willing to contribute to padding the wallets of anyone who thinks nothing of pairing innuendo with sexual assault.
