I think the decision to back Freddy Got Fingered should have been in the top ten. Glitter definitely deserves a higher ranking. There seems to be an odd fascination with Enron there, too.
The funniest one is #101. I had no idea that Skilling's own mother basically called him a liar or an idiot.

quote: 97. Disney forces its theme-park workers to wear company-issued and -laundered undergarments beneath their costumes, despite complaints that the skivvies contain scabies and lice. Finally, it relents: Employees must still wear company-issued undergarments, but can now take them home to wash them.

quote:13. Having earned the enmity of the five major record labels as CEO of MP3.com, Michael Robertson takes on Microsoft by launching Lindows, a Linux-based operating system that runs Windows programs. Robertson says he isn't afraid of going up against the world's most notoriously competitive company. "There were five major record labels, and there's only one Microsoft," he says. "That's an 80 percent reduction."
Heh. BTW Anyone hear anything about that Lindows? If it had the features of Linux had AND ran games and software made for Windows, surely it would take off?
