A Celebration of Embarrassment
Paperback
Publication Date: 28/07/2011
From memorable disasters such as New Coke, the XFL, and Tiger Woods' marriage to less-remembered failures such as Yugo, Cop Rock, and Microsoft's BOB, Worst Ideas Ever revisits history's biggest blunders. Whether it's a pop culture failure the likes of Dennis Miller's disastrous run on Monday Night Football, a political one such as John Edwards' odd decision to run for president while cheating on his cancer-stricken wife, or a technological misstep such as Apple's Newton OS, Worst Ideas Ever uncovers the ridiculous stories behind mistakes so huge, you'll have to constantly remind yourself that they actually happened.
