—> Fortune recently published a list of 2007's 101 Dumbest Moments in Business, and then the Seattle Post-Intelligencer cooked that down to just 9 really good ones. Now we're summarizing the Seattle PI article. (If you'd like to play along, pick just a couple of business blunders from our summary and write them on a sticky note—we'd like to get this down to a six-word fortune cookie by December 31st.) Some of the Seattle PI's picks include the rats at the KFC in NYC, the GHB toy beads, Best Buy's in-store kiosk version of its website with higher prices, Jay-Z's dog-fur coats, and that time when SkyWest wouldn't let that passenger pee, and so he had to go in an air-sickness bag, which led to him being questioned by the police when he finally got off the plane.

—>New York City's Health Department has taken the blame for the KFC/Taco Bell rat infestation that made national news. (If, though some miracle you haven't seen the footage yet, i.e. you've just come out of a coma or recently regained lost eye-sight, do give it a look. It's worth it.) Anyhow, the inspector who gave a pass to the KFC/Taco Bell has resigned and the Health Department is, like, really sorry and stuff. More »

"If the people in our business use a little bit more common sense there's probably no need for further regulation," he said. But Tuttle added it will be hard to argue against further regulations or increased fines after the snafus by TBS and Dr Pepper. More »
I was just at Au Bon Pain on 38th & 3rd, and when I stepped outside with my coffee, a NYPost reporter and photographer stopped me to talk about the recent spate of rat sightings in that particular ABP, and their poor grades on recent health inspections. He said a story will run in tomorrow's Post (headline: French Rats Invade! (?)). We stood on the corner and chatted about the recent KFC thing, and he agreed that if he could get them on video, it could be another front-page 'scandal'. I had previously seen a little mouse in the ABP on 39th & Madison, (which they said they'd check out) but these guys said large rats were spotted this time. He asked me if I was still going to drink the coffee, and I shrugged and said 'I went to Manhattan College, so rats in the eating area isn't a huge deal to me.' He smiled and said look in tomorrow's News section.Well, we'll say one thing for the New York Post, they're certainly more proactive than the NYC Health Department. Have any of you people seen rats at the Au Bon Pain? —MEGHANN MARCO More »
"It doesn't look like the inspection that was done Thursday met our standards," said Geoffrey Cowley, a health department spokesman. "I don't want to prejudge that. We're concerned and we're going to carefully reevaluate that inspection."The so-called inspection was performed in response to complaints about rats in the restaurant, and yet the inspector couldn't find any. How mysterious. —MEGHANN MARCO More »
