This isn't exclusive to UN Women, Microsoft has their fingers in a lot of pies over at the UN with the same goal: using the UN as a means to increase their presence in the market. Dollah, dollah bills y'all.

• The cyber violence report fiasco hosted by UN Women (funded partly by Microsoft) invited Sarkeesian, Quinn and Roberta Cocco Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at Microsoft.

Looking into

In case anyone missed this the 18 times someone posted about it today, the 80 times people posted about it after watching the episode after it leaked and the 800 times it will be posted until the next episode airs.

I'll be in the garage.
