My guess is the planning committee consisted of three guys in their early 20s who subscribe to Maxim; how else to explain Yahoo’s hiring lap dancers to entertain at a corporate event in Taiwan?

The planning committee probably intends to create some groundbreaking effects on this hack event. Apparently they focused too much on satisfying their "mainly male software developers and engineers" and neglected the effect on their wife or girlfriend.
Even though I was pretty shocked when I just started to read the article, the technology industry in Taiwan is mainly consisted of enthusiastic young engineers at their early 20's as well as many executive members. To them creativity is everything that gets them where they are now, which to some extent explains the planning of this hack event. I'm not saying what they did is right because It's reckless and unprofessional, yet still remediable.
