Dumb business blunders
11 of the dumbest business decisions ever
Of course, the Beatles still beats them all….
http://www.bspcn.com/2008/04/22/11-of-the-dumbest-...

We’ve all made mistakes … but probably not big mistakes like making snot beer, saying no to The Beatles, or turning down the patent for the telephone.

In fact, here are some of the biggest business blunders in history.

On December 13, 1961, Mike Smith traveled to Liverpool to watch a local rock ‘n’ roll band perform. He decided they had talent, and invited them to audition on New Year’s Day 1962. The group made the trip to London and spent two hours playing 15 different songs at the Decca studios. Then they went home and waited for an answer. They waited for weeks.

Lipstick in school- priceless....
The problem (and the solution) of the 12-year-old girls who were beginning to use lipstick
There are teachers ... and then there are educators

Lipstick in school- priceless...

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem.

A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. Via Brian L in Belfast NI.

Carlsberg don't do fitness centres.....
These ladies entice three guys with the allure of white-clad fitness trainers...and beer
http://www.adrants.com/2008/04/carlsberg-elevates-...

Steve in AdRants talks about the quintessential beer commercial. This time it's from Carlsberg Lite. They entice three guys with the allure of white-clad fitness trainers...and beer. Created by Saatch & Saatchi Simko, the ad at least elevates the tactic a step or two above the Coors Twins or the famed mud wrestling beer babes of yore.

However as Steve says…Ooops. it's sorta been done before. Sorry guys.

Clever PR for Gladiators
New Gladiator Inferno has proved too hot for a London vicar
"She's certainly dresses in less than her Sunday best but would God
judge on looks alone?"

http://www.adrants.com/2008/04/gladiator-ad-banned...

Inferno, 24, whose real name is Jemma Palmer, was depicted flexing her muscles in a skimpy cleavage boosting costume

Sexy new Gladiator Inferno has proved too hot for a London vicar who has blocked a plan to erect an advertising hoarding showing her in a skimpy bikini outside his church.

The drop-dead gorgeous female wrestler was plastered on a huge billboard outside the church on the A4 in west London to promote the forthcoming new series.

But the local vicar got a little too hot under the dog collar and raised formal objections.OK

"So the board was to be placed next to a church and she's certainly dresses in less than her Sunday best but would God judge on looks alone?"
