IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY, you generally can't deride others in front of their peers and laugh at/about them. 40-50 years ago you could laugh at people and everyone would laugh too, but now society is so sensitive and people are so caught up in their own feelings and image, and now you just can't. So having the expectation that they will like it (or you) when you do it, that's just wrong. It's not like Cuban was their good buddy who they always teased with - he was a total stranger to them, who had never met them and owed them no latitude.
That they also did that in the context of asking the guy they are insulting to write them a big check is the height of stupidity.
Hey could be worse. Imagine if they had shown a comic to their potential investors instead or didn´t show up to the pitch of their own product at all, but send a bland sales rep instead. Now that would be the height of stupidity.
