CNN/Money 101 dumbest business moments 2007

These are great. I had forgotten about some and others I didn't know about.

Check out the list.

Here are some of my favs:

44. Bank of America
Another subprime stunt
A Bank of America branch in Ashland, Mass., is evacuated after it receives a fax with the image of a lit match being held to a bomb's fuse. The fax, sent by the company to alert employees to an upcoming promotion, somehow comes through without its text, which should read "The Countdown Begins ... Small Business Commitment Week June 4--8."


66. Rhode Island Hospital
It's not as if they're doing brain surgery or anything
The state Department of Health fines Rhode Island Hospital $50,000 when, for the third time in less than a year, one of its doctors operates on the wrong side of a patient's head.


70. Circuit City
Good job. You're all fired.
In a cost-cutting move, Circuit City lays off all sales associates paid 51 cents or more per hour above an "established pay range" - essentially firing 3,400 of its top performers in one fell swoop. Over the next eight months Circuit City's share price drops by almost 70%.


90. Southwest Airlines, Part 2
Fly the didn't-you-learn-anything-from-the-Kyla-Ebbert-fiasco skies
A man boarding a Southwest Airlines flight in Ohio is ordered to change his T-shirt, which depicts a fictional fishing shop with the words MASTER BAITER. The airline is again forced to apologize.

93. British Airways Part 2
Fly the oh-gross-oh-gross-ohgross-get-it-away-from-me skies
On a British Airways flight from New Delhi to London, first-class passenger Paul Trinder wakes up from a nap to find the corpse of a woman who had died in the economy cabin being placed in the seat next to him. Upon complaining about the incident, Trinder - a gold-level frequent flier who logs 200,000 miles a year with the airline - says he is told he will not be compensated and should just "get over it."
