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?
