Does Microsoft's Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer have a tongue fetish? No, no. This is not a mock article. Oh well, it is. But this aspect does not make the question less valid. Does Microsoft's Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer have a tongue fetish?

Just look at the adjacent image. The picture was taken at the NASDAQ launching of Windows Vista and Office 2007. Is this a genuine slip of the... tongue? Literally speaking. Ballmer was applauding frenetically. And with all the excitement, Microsoft's CEO went all the way.

Feast your eyes on Ballmer's oral display! Just look at this prime specimen! Tongue exhibitionism at its paroxysm! You might claim that this is an accident. That Ballmer was high on a pure adrenaline rush generated by the release of Windows Vista. But you would be wrong. The other two pictures included here clearly indicate that Ballmer, with his tongue hanging out, is not a singular case, but just one of a series of tongue exhibitionism moments in the life of Microsoft's CEO.

What connotations could this gesture have? What can we associate with Ballmer's papillae and oral mucosa in all their splendor? Well... let's be fare. Ballmer is nothing short of sexy, powerful, aggressive, intelligent and... you can add your own epithets.

Just think, what sort of perverted world would we live in if your average CEO weren't able to exhibit his tongue to the world's audience?
