I’ll be up all night getting art done. I still have ONE 2-character commission slot open, and I’ll take the usual $60 1-character orders. Contact me!
After reading more about David Karp, I’m thinking maybe it’s Tumblr that has acquired Yahoo.

Even if we got a million Tumblr users to contribute $100 each, that would only be one hundred million dollars. That’s less than one tenth of what Yahoo is paying. Sad to say, but a user buyout could never hope to compete. The only people who can generate that kind of money are, ironically, the very kind who would never use Tumblr and who can’t understand its value.
"Like other recent Web startups that have seen rocket ship growth — see: Twitter, Facebook — Tumblr resisted advertising for its formative years, and its user base seems particularly unwilling to accept standard banner ads. In addition, many industry observers think that Tumblr’s pages are packed with porn and/or other questionable content that would scare off advertisers."

I would rather see every Tumblr user give the owners $20 to NOT sell it.
All this talk about SPOILERS. How can you SPOIL a shitty movie?
