Tech CEOs are venerated. There's a cult for Steve Jobs and mass adulation of Mark Zuckerberg. But the bigger you are, the bigger the spotlight on every stupid thing you say.

See, I've said stupid things before, and I get called on them. But it doesn't have much of a reverb effect. A big CEO of a hugely successful tech company that commands the ears of Presidents and Wall Street? That my friend makes for a gaffe hear d'round the world.

And they're funny too. So we decided to look at some of the real clunkers to fall out of tech bug-wigs mouths. And by that I mean things they said. What did you think I meant? Ew. You're disgusting.

Sit back, relax, pull that Appletini close and turn up your speakers. It's time to mock power.
