Even if the statement were true, it’s not like they hired some anonymous guy, they knew what they were getting. Don’t hire a passionate guy like that if you don’t want him to concern himself with your company.

It's Facebook's fault for hiring him for a figurehead to not listen to, instead of hiring him for what he is to shake things up.

Sometimes a smug frog like Facebook just needs a good poisonous stab in the back.

It's not like they should be shocked after hiring a guy who was famous for making a game about shooting Nazis.
