Larry Ellison's Speech to Yale Class of 2000
An email text circulating since June 2000 purports to contain a
commencement address given by Oracle's flamboyant CEO, Larry Ellison, to
Yale's Class of 2000. Here's a snippet of that alleged speech:
As I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright
tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries.
I see a thousand losers.
What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser cum laude....
The speech goes on in that vein before closing abruptly with Ellison
chiding the bodyguards who are supposedly dragging him off the stage.
Is this true? It's truly funny, but it's not factual.
Larry Ellison was not at Yale University's graduation ceremony in May
2000. There was no guest speaker there in fact. There was a keynote
speaker, however, and that was journalist Bob Woodward, who graduated
from Yale in 1965, and is now well known for his Watergate Scandal
reporting for the Washington Post. And not even he said any of the
things in the missive above.
The material in question is simply a funny that made its first
appearance on the SatireWire Website.
A friend of a friend of somebody's friend, and possibly several such
somebodies, then copied and pasted the text from the SatireWire web page
into email, without providing proper attribution as to either the
article's copyrighted source, or its author, Andrew Marlatt. But it's
out there in suggestive email forwards for all the world to guffaw at
and ask about, from now until kingdom come.
These things just happen.
