Dumbest moments

Wednesday, 4 January 2006  

Q: Who said this?

“I don’t care if people think I’m a dumb blond or stupid or an overage actress or over the hill. I don’t care because I’m gonna have a very successful Internet company, and I’m gonna have $100 million in the bank and I don’t really give a shit what anybody thinks!”

A: Melanie Griffith.

That’s right, the actress.

This is just one gem from Boo.com and the 100 other dumbest moments in ebusiness history. While you’ll get a good laugh from the tremendous naivety, excesses and stupidity, it’s important to remember that these things actually happened around the end of the last millenium.

Melanie still has her own website, although I doubt she’s raked up quite as much money as she had hoped. The most interesting thing about it is that it’s one of the very few websites still using the infamous mystery meat technique when it comes to navigation.

Nice one, Mel.
