The top 10 silly, overhyped, non-news stories of 2011

To date, there are dozens of lists of the “Top Stories of 2011″, adding to the mental clutter in our heads. As a public service this year, the MullerOver staff spent the week debating the least important, most overhyped stories of 2011. In other words, the ones that you should feel free to delete from your mental hard drive.

A passive/aggressive phrase meant to insinuate that the listener was stuck in a limited way of thinking, while the speaker had achieved a level of business enlightenment not seen since the dalai lama.  Or Steve Jobs.

Throw under the bus.  

This was a cute phrase 15 years ago, but now it’s just gotten plain silly.  While I’m sure it’s just a lame business cliche, I still feel a need to stay an extra step away from the curb when a Greyhound goes by. Read more »
