Sarah Lacy’s keynote at SxSW, with comments from Mark Zuckerberg.

Facebook's creator and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, being "interviewed" by Sarah Lacy at SxSW. Now infamous.

Example:

7:50 - "What we're doing as a mission is very interesting..."

Mark attempts to continue pulling together his thoughts.

8:04 - Sarah interrupts Mark, saying "That was such a [someone?] moment."

Awkward chuckles.

8:22 - Sarah "We'll get back to you in a minute."

9:33 - Sarah finishes her story. Mark, "So what was the question?"

I'd like to see her try and "interview", I dunno, say, Steve Jobs this way.

It gets worse.

Then she responds, post-interview:

She comes across as an arrogant neophyte, IMHO. But I think what people are most upset about is that they feel like they missed out on a chance to have a real Zuckerberg Keynote / Q&A, because Sarah wanted to sit on stage, lean back, twirl her hair, and chat with her buddy Mark. That's how people feel, I believe, and I'm not sure they're not justified in feeling that way.
