2007′s Dumbest Moments in Biz

Posted on January 18, 2008 – 2:25 am

January is the month of review and predictions for the upcoming year.  I came across this list of 2007′s 101 Dumbest Moments in Business by the Editors of Fortune Magazine.  Some were on the target, some were funny, others were moments that I missed.  Here are some of the highlights:

#5 – Stanley O’Neal – Now that’s a compensation package. 

#13 – Disneyland – They have to fix “It’s a Small World”‘s because Americans weigh too much….the boats sink! 

#17 – Cocaine Energy Drink – Did they really think this was going to work?

#20 – O.J. Simpson – There’s no glove this time around….

#26 – Isiah Thomas – So is the dumb moment his sexual harassment lawsuit?  the fact they didn’t settle and lost? or the fact that he is still the Coach of the Knicks?

#47 – John Mackey – WildOatsHater would have been a better screen name.

#84 – Southwest Airlines – Kicking people off for dressing too provocatively?  Have these people been to college campus’ lately?
