"Hey boss, the company's headed for trouble. Costs are trending towards exceeding revenue."
"Hmm, looks like we need to cut costs. Let's fire the innovation team."
"But boss, without new innovations, how will we manage to stay ahead of the competition?"
"Silly child, we're Yahoo! We have a bang at the end of our name! We don't need innovation."

"Plus, we can just buy anything that's innovative. Outsourcing innovation! I should give myself a raise." :scribble, scribble:
