Would you pay $800 to watch the Royals play?

Well, the Yankees think you will, and regular folks are not amused: We're getting Yanked over tickets at new Stadium, cry Bombers fans

We'll be tracking the most clueless companies - eg those who are blindless and ignorant and arrogant in light of the meltdown. Much muchness to be had here

Put the Yankees as #2 on the list, for now

But for sure #1 will be hard to unseat: Harry Winston, who ran an ad on the Times' website on inauguration day saying "yes you can" http://www.restlus.com/2009/01/yes-you-can.html as in 'Yes you can blow $250,000 on a common stone for your call girl at our obnoxious and thief-riddled rock emporium':

Paris--A group of armed robbers made off with millions of dollars worth of jewelry during a brazen late-afternoon robbery at a Harry Winston store in Paris, according to various news sources.Reports state that three to four suspects entered the store, located on the fashionable Avenue Montaigne near Paris' iconic Champs-Elysees and right around the corner from a police station, drew their guns and ordered staff to empty jewels from secret hiding places and the safe.They overturned display cases, grabbing an estimated $102 million in rings, necklaces and luxury watches, emptying the shop of nearly all of its stock.Police said at least two of the thieves were men dressed as women, they spoke a foreign language and knew the employees' names.This same Harry Winston store was robbed little more than a year ago, with the thieves that time making off with $25 million in jewelry, taking pieces worth between $2,500-$4 million.
