Really BAD ideas (no politics)
Akima:
I think GM's attempts to sell Holdens in the USA had a lot more to do with earning "import credits" under Australia's weird and wonderful car import-tariff scheme. I'm not expert on all the ins and outs, and it might have changed in the last year or two, but the basic idea was that car-makers in Australia could earn "credits" by selling cars and car parts overseas, which they could then "spend" on importing cars into Australia with reduced tariffs. Since the only cars GM made in Australia were fairly big (Commodore, Caprice, and (in the past) Senator with engines ranging from 3.8 litre V6 to 6.2 litre V8 :-o), they used their credits to import smaller cars from their European Opel range (and more recently from Hyundai; I don't know how that works).

I came up with one of my own.
I track my weight on my Device but often there are no scales on the road.
So, since personal devices now have pressure sensors, the bad idea is to have an app that weighs you when you step on the device.

I had this idea for a movie today, not sure how bad it is.
A remake of "Liar Liar" about a washed up actor who must go 24 hours without using a racial slur. Starring Mel Gibson.
Kugai:
That would be the contender for the shortest short.

So I was doing electrical work and wished there was an easier way to identify which circuit breaker needed to be switched off to kill the power to where I was working.
Then came the bad idea. I realized I could both locate the breaker and turn it off in one operation by shorting the circuit I was working on.
