The Weirdest CEO Moments of 2005

Fortune's list. These are hilarious. Ya' gotta' love a guy who gives his employees vibrators!! Here are my favs:

When Overstock.com chief executive Patrick Byrne went Star Wars on a quarterly conference call this summer—deriding a shadowy figure he called the “Sith Lord”— he set the investment community buzzing. Other company leaders have raised eyebrows in surprising ways this year too. A trip down memory lane.

Too Sexy for His Staff
American Apparel CEO Dov Charney was named in two sexual harassment suits in May. Among the allegations: that Charney conducted job interviews in his underwear and gave employees vibrators. Charney denied the charges. He told a reporter, “I don’t think I go over the line. Sexuality and sexual words become part of the daily banter of work life in any free society.”

Gender Bender
Speaking to reporters about driver Danica Patrick’s strong Indy 500 finish in June, Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone said she was “super” before suggesting that “women should all be dressed in white like all other domestic appliances.” He repeated the remark to a puzzled Patrick in a phone call later that week.
