FWIW this is the talk that got them (Ben Nagy and The Grugq) thrown out of Kiwicon ( http://kiwicon.org/ ) for being transphobic, sexist and otherwise disrespectful to women and trans people.

Hmm, "ad-lib" -- given that slide, what did they plan to say? Anyway, it's interesting to me that the pics of mostly-naked men and ASCII Goatse hardly get mentioned, overshadowed by a verbal remark. Maybe the con has changed its policy in response, but did they preview the slide deck?
