A half dozen of Redmond's red-faced moments made the list, including the "Windows XP convert" who turned out to be a model reading a freelance writer's copy, the MSN ad campaign that involved plastering New York with butterfly stickers, and Gates' and CEO Steve Ballmer's repeated attempts to explain the company's .NET strategy. Yahoo had the highest single spot on the list among IT firms, scoring the No. 2 dumb doozy of 2002 by virtue of its $5 million payout to the angry yodeler. The yodeler yelled when Yahoo kept using his voice in their TV ads; he had thought the company would only use it occasionally. After getting $5 million, he changed his tune from "Yahoo!" to "Yippee!"
