From memorable disasters such as New Coke, the XFL, and Tiger Woodsâ marriage to less-remembered failures such as Yugo, Cop Rock, and Microsoftâs BOB, Worst Ideas Ever revisits historyâs biggest blunders. Whether itâs a pop culture failure the likes of Dennis Millerâs disastrous run on Monday Night Football, a political one such as John Edwardsâ odd decision to run for president while cheating on his cancer-stricken wife, or a technological misstep such as Appleâs Newton OS, Worst Ideas Ever uncovers the ridiculous stories behind mistakes so huge, youâll have to constantly remind yourself that they actually happened.
Moving from Mariah Careyâs âperformanceâ in Glitter to the Minnesota Vikings decision to trade away their future for an aging Herschel Walker, Worst Ideas Ever offers the real stories behind some of the dumbest things ever done. Whether it was ego (Michael Jordan leaving basketball for baseball), greed (nobody questioning their impossibly high returns when investing with Bernie Madoff) or simple stupidity ( Jay Leno moving to 10 p.m.), Worst Ideas Ever brings it all back in hilarious detail.
