The real-life world of Sony computer-entertainment president Ken Kutaragi--the mastermind behind PlayStation--is a lot like this. He created one of the most successful computer products in history (98 million units sold and counting)--and followed it up with the even more dominant PlayStation 2.

LimoLiner mastermind Fergus McCann, former chairman of the Celtic Football Club in Scotland, put up a reported $2 million to get those wheels rolling. The painfully sleek website quotes McCann on his vision: “I started LimoLiner because I believe civilized traveling is not a privilege, but a right.” That right is available to the tune of $138 round trip, and is leaving from a very plebeian...
