I might point out that while Dave says "fuck", he is responding to a blog post whose title implied forced anal sex: "next gen bends over". That is quite offensive, independent of the backward thinking.
Bend over may refer to the action of bending one's body over, as in to pick up something, or, for example, as the hydra does in order to move when hunting, in dancing (like in the various breakdance moves), gymnastics, and sports (like snap football), as well as to be (vaginally or anally) penetrated in sexual activity.
so even if you took bend over literally there's nothing wrong (or anything implying anal sex) in saying that Mint guys bent over to pick-up Intuit's offer.
and while Jason Fried has actually added value by using such provocative but eloquent metaphor, Dave McClure has totally subtracted any little value that was in his rant by obscuring it with fucks etc.
i don't need to apologize for swearing... and similarly, you don't have to perform semantic acrobatics to find a different definition for "bending over".
jason certainly meant the headline in a "don't drop the soap" fashion, just like i meant to use the word "fuck" for emphasis.
get over yourself and get off your victorian soapbox. people swear. they've been doing it for hundreds of years.
if you can't get past the use of either as a literary form of emphasis, then you're the one being juvenile.
