Bard Eker - Business Punk

By Swade on November 9, 2009 9:34 AM | 10 Comments

Sent in by Radulf. This is a photo from a German magazine called Business Punk.

They're naming their Top 20 Business Punks. Considering some of the company that #5 is keeping here, I'm assuming that being a Business Punk is a good thing.

Click. Punk.

So tempted to work a "Feel lucky, Punk?" citation in there. Oops. Just did.

There's another guy on that list that took a niche brand that was close to death and brought it all the way back and then some.

Let's hope 2009 is to Saab what 1998 was to Apple.

that nazi loving, money grubbing, corruption spreading F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone is #4 on the list. it is not a good thing to be so closely matched to this guy.

Hey aeronaut, thats pretty strong on Bernie. He's certainly no choirboy but I think you could back down your vitriol a bit as well as checking your facts. besides, it was Max Mosely, FIA boss - not Bernie, who got into trouble with some professional ladies dressed up as ....well you know the rest.

Punk must be one of those words that doesn't translate well...

Steve loves apples. Bill won't admit it in public but he loves them too. Especially in strudel with vanilla icecream.

Larry Ellison is my favourite punk on that list!

The full German text should be translated by someone, it's really funny to read this a Business Punks must be the kind of crazy people that dare DO things that others not even could have thought of.

Like Ryanair's O'Leary that drove to competitor Easyjets HQ in a tank "to liberate their customers of Easyjets too high prices!" Hilarious, original and witty. Of course it all in the name of publicity, and they get it very cheap. Smart guys!

I don't know you guys, but I would find it offensive to be in a list where Mr. Ballmer is #1.
