Courtesy of The Consumerist comes the Worst Company in America tournament for 2011. In the tournament this year? Apple, Toyota, BP, J&J and others. No real comment on the manufacturers involved -- if you read IW, you will recall that 2011 was a banner year for recalls -- but needless to say that every company on the list received enough votes to make the tournament for a reason. I'm hoping a financial institution wins, and luckily I think statistical probability is probably on my side on this one.
Fill out your bracket here, and enjoy to the fullest, most ironic extent possible. http://user.cloudfront.goodinc.com/community/andrewprice/bracketology.jpg
