I think you're implying that putting up a slide with a faceless person on it and calling them a "bitch" is inherently morally objectionable? If so, I wouldn't agree with that. Louis CK called his 4 year old daughter a "bitch" [0] on stage, and I know I'm not alone in thinking it was hilarious. Noah called an anonymous person a bitch. If it were a comedy club, probably nothing would have been said. But, it was a tech conference, and there probably weren't many females there, so it came off as sexist, and it alienated and offended at least one person. As the author alludes to when mentioning the style of presentation, the line between conference presentation and comedy routine is blurred. Noah made an attempt at comedy, and it apparently didn't work out. (I wasn't there, so maybe it was hilarious) [0] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vRhr502wIc#t=1m24s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vRhr502wIc#t=1m24s
