Why Would He Hoodie?

Mark Zuckerberg is real immature.

Investors this week have been chattering about what they’ve deemed to be proof that Mark Zuckerberg is some sunglasses-wearing, too-cool-for-the-corpo-bots, uppity youngster during Facebook’s pre-IPO roadshow.

"I think that he has to realize he’s bringing investors in as a new constituency right now, and I think he’s got to show them the respect that they deserve because he’s asking them for their money.”
