Nearly impossible to read that article with that stupid bar thing hanging over the text on the left side.
Firefox: View/Page Style/No Style turns the page into plain, readable text.
Think of all the effort someone went through, to take perfectly good content and deface it.
I'll keep an open mind about the company for now, because I've not found their side of the story (this occurred a few weeks ago), but Michael Dell should personally and sincerely apologize for his company. This doesn't match at all what I have long understood to be their internal culture.
I guess that was a typo, one too many commas.

I'll keep an open mind about the company for now Seems like a sound approach. The whole thing was a surreal read; something has got to be afoot.
... did this seriously happen? How absurd that in 2012, people with hateful viewpoints such as these are given the stage.
His tag line is "Denmarks big show-off" and he basically markets himself as a provocative bragging show-off, always with the rolexes, sports cars, slick hair and better-than-thy appearance.
He's not perceived as a comedian but rather as an entertainer hired for various corporate events - some obviously less successful than others.
Unless this was booked by Dell US without doing any kind of checkup, they would've been aware what would be coming. He's knowing for his provocative presentations and I have a hard time seeing exactly how a Danish Dell branch would find it appropriate or interesting to book Mads Christensen. If they wanted stand-up comedy we've got lots of skilled comedians. Mads Christensen is not in that line of work.
To be fair I don't think Mads Christensen personally believes what he presents on stage. It's the persona he's built up. Not that that makes it better in this scenario, just so flak is directed where it's most appropriate - Dell, and especially whoever made the decision to book him.

It's mind boggling that this could happen. And that when it happened no one did anything. Why wasn't this person booed off the stage?
The only guess I can come up with is that we currently, or until very recently, had politicians with power in the government who wanted quotas for the number of females in the boards of companies. This may be what he referes to when he talks about having a nice female ratio.
What gets me though is that usually US companies go way too far on the other side on the PC issues like this.
