Clueless Executives

Further proof that CEOs are clueless. All the more reason why it was terribly wrong that the Supreme Court installed one.

"All is good in the world today"

Boeing CEO Harry Stonecipher flew aboard "Connexion One", a Boeing 737-400 which is the flying test bed for the new mobile broadband communications. After Harry had tried it out, Scott Carson, Connexion by Boeing President, sent the following e-mail to his secretary:

"Hi,
"Here we are high above Washington state. Harry has used and liked. ... All is good in the world today.
"SEC"


Presumably, Stonecipher was impressed by the speed with which he could download porn using the Connexion by Boeing system, although he should've wondered aloud, "won't downloading porn on a commercial flight where passengers are packed in like cattle be inappropriate?".

After downloading a porn video, Harry "chatted" with an online "friend", annihilated VP Cheney in a round of Unreal Tournament 2003, and checked his stock portfolio to insure that, yes, he is still indeed over compensated for what he does. At no point during the flight did either Stonecipher or Carson use the Connexion broadband capability to check a news site. If either had, they would've seen that, in fact, all is not good in the world today.


Harry and Scott surf the web: "Go back, Harry. Yeah, yeah, click on 'nubile nymphs'."
