This Vulture scandal reminds me of an old anecdote about car mechanic. It's a translation, so it doesn't sound as nice as original.<p>After getting invoice from car mechanic, a client goes over itemized list of parts and work, and in the middle sees an item called "it didn't fly - 10000". Client asks mechanic "What is this "it didn't fly" thing?". Mechanic sighs and says "Oh, well, it didn't fly. Removing.".
