How Does This Not Get You Fired?

This is just a string of bad luck that you could only attribute to mistaking a house of mirrors for a batting cage.  Either that or being terrible at your job.  Is it bad that I ask myself "Why is this dufus a CEO" more often than not?  Universal Music's CEO just demonstrated a dedication to the kind of blind stupidity that should put him up for promotion in the Justice department by early January.  After confirming that he'd rather make a penny now than a dollar later, he further trumpeted his incompetence by reminiscing about the days when he didn't have to do any work to get money.  He then got defensive about not preparing for the digital age by maintaining that he was incapable of predicting it or of hiring anyone who did understand it.  That's about as effective a defense as a polish hostage with Parkinson's puts up.  But his misery doesn't end there, he hammered home the "I'm the wrong man for this job message" by asking if people would pay for something that was delivered to their houses free.  I guess that's why the bottled water folks are making more than the music guys. 

Oh, and check this stuff out.  What better way to show your bottled water you care than with gourmet spring water ice.
