I just finished re-watching the "Ariel" episode and I have to say, the Blue Sun corporation has got to be one of my favorite evil corporations in genre fiction, right up there with Weyland-Yutani (from the Alien movies). Also I've always thought Wolfram & Hart was an inspired idea, a literal demonic evil law firm. What are your favorite evil corporations in fiction? Oh and saying Fox Television is too easy!

Well if they have to be fictional...
Some that have always interested me are: Umbrella Corp. from the Resident Evil series, Shinra Inc. from Final Fantasy VII, Oscorp from the Spiderman comics, InGen from Jurassic Park, but I think the evilist of all is Initech, from Office Space.

Or how about Virtucon from Austin Powers?

The corporation run by Mr. Scorpio on "The Simpsons" comes to mind (sorry, I can't remember the exact company name.) Sure, they were out to subvert planetary free will and conquer all nations -- but they had a great benefits package!

I wouldn't say that this is the most evil fictional corporation, but I'm voting for it just for the sheer cheese factor. The company that Richard Dawson worked for in 'Running Man.' I'm pretty sure the people who created this movie wanted to portray it as some huge dastardly conglomerate, but I just found them hilarious.

I shaved off my beard for you, devil woman!

globex was hank scorpio's company and his arch nemesis was james bont.

my pick for the most evil fictional company has to be umbrella. wolfram and hart was pretty bad too. the group that was behind the psychics in akira was pretty bad too (though they may have been government people).

It's not exactly a corporation, but InSoc of 1984.
