Fake Steve calls shenanigans on Fortune mag item

Filed under: Humor

Pity the editors of Fortune's 101 Dumbest Moments in Business list, who thought to include an item at #51 on this year's countdown calling out Apple's dumb move. The rainbow fruit was taken to task for a cease-and-desist letter sent to nine-year-old Shea O'Gorman, who was told in no uncertain terms to stop sending suggestions for improvements to the iPod Nano via a letter from Apple's legal team.

Was this a dumb business moment? Undoubtedly. Did it take place in 2007? Uh, nope -- 2006. Fake Steve calls Fortune on the carpet (link headline NSFW) for the mixup, which is a little disingenuous considering who pays for the gas in his Gulfstream... but it's all in fun.
