Our post today is dedicated to David Ellis of CNNMoney and his piece in Fortune Magazine.  Ellis’ piece which runs in Fortune details some of the dumbest moments in business in 2009.  We encourage people to read the entire piece but here are some of our favorites:

• Goldman’s pr campaign in defense of billion dollar bonuses
• DirecTV’s use of the deceased Chris Farley as the “fat guy in the little coat” in its satellite TV advertising
• All Nippon Airways asking customers to urinate before flying in order to reduce the weight of the plan and save fuel
• The Obama Administration’s Recovery Board supposedly tracked stimulus money reporting money earmarked for non-existent congressional districts and non-existent jobs
• AIG’s chief executive Robert Benmosche who in his first meeting with AIG employees, called Congress a bunch of “crazies,” saying he would tell them to “stick it where the sun don’t shine” if he was called to testify on Capitol Hill.
• Avaya who paid Anthony Armatys a six figure income for six years despite the fact that Armatys changed his mind before accepting the job and never showed up for work.

But that’s just a sampling.  You can get all of it on CNNMoney.com.

Thanks, David.
