Oh snap! as Herbert Kornfeld might say. Look who got punked in their own list of silly items. Folks the item above comes from Fortune magazine and it’s part of that year’s 101 Dumbest Moments in Business list. whether you can work your way through their crap interface to #51 (it’s shown above, or you can visit to it here) you’ll see Fortune taking that lame crack at big poor Apple for being mean to a little girl named Shea O’Gorman who sent us a letter suggesting ways to improve the iPod.

Just one problem with Fortune putting that incident in their list of dumbest things that happened in 2007: This actually happened in April 2006. Don’t believe me? Check out this TV news report about little Shea

O’Gorman, dated April 13, 2006. Or this article about it from AppleInsider dated April 14, 2006. Or this one from Engadget, additionally April 14, 2006. Or this one from Ars Technica. Or this one from MacWorld UK on April 17, 2006.

Nice work, Fortune. Perhaps you have room for one more item on your list? Apple faithful, the Fortune editorial has a link where you can “Email the editors.” I urge you to use it.

For what it’s worth, I’m certain that little Shea O’Gorman is a nice little kid, albeit in a bratty, know-it-all sort of way. But trust me — her ideas were total shit. Our legal branch was right on the money with that letter.
