The response has actually been very mixed, with some seeing the 'joke' and others taking offence. Personally, it's a risk I wouldn't have taken, even though I did think it was amusing.</p> Steve, that's why I said it was a risk.

It was an absolute disaster for Slideshare and take the time to read some comments from Slideshare in the links below and they recognise that. Kudos to them for dealing with complaints head on but the idea was an awful one.
