Infamous Design: The Flying Ford Pinto
It’s hard to believe that anyone in real life could design something more ill-conceived than The Homer, but the Flying Ford Pinto was a contender. I found this gem under Wikipedia’s List of inventors killed by their own inventions. (They say ‘inventor’, but this has all the hallmarks of being designed by a committee…)

Thanks Doug! Reminded me of the day Thom Blanton introduced me to the Darwin Awards.
