US Airways calls it a mistake. Mistake my hoo-hah! I think some social media intern had enough of whiny pax complaints and just snapped, pressing the button on the Tweet heard round the world (and the twat seen round the world).
If you haven’t seen it – and you’re likely better off that way – the US Airways tweet in response to a serial complainer was the usual banal mea culpa. But attached to the message was a ticking time bomb – a link to a pornographic photo of a reclining woman and a Boeing 777 plastic model that had clearly missed the landing strip and come to rest in Mariana’s Trench. (I’m not sure that’s her name.)
Much outrage and no lack of hilarity ensued. There’s nothing like an exposed ladypart to get the lads giggling and the prudes straddling their high horses with wanton abandon. We’re living in 140 character times Pumpkins, and they are strange days indeed.
