Jacques, RE: "From Buffett's 2001 Chairman's Letter to Shareholder's: A gorgeous woman slinks up to a CEO at a party and through moist lips purrs, "I’ll do anything - anything - you want. Just tell me what you would like."

Buffett really has a serious problem if he wrote this.

This has tones of implied sexism that isn't appropriate for a shareholders report. The day Intel writes something as disgusting as this in a shareholders report (which they have the intelligence to never do), would be the day I sell all my shares. [edit correction: actually, I wouldn't sell my shares, because it would be the day the shareholders would move to get the writer of such a report fired. Fortunately, Intel has world-class annual reports and Intel's last report was the best report I've ever seen in the entire industry. Maybe Buffett should study high-tech to learn something.]

For one, his "suggestive" comment appears to imply a) CEOs are males, b) that gorgeous women are sleazy.

He needs to find a different writer for his shareholder reports than himself, rather than perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
