6653: Flying, Flagging And Failing.


Charging ahead with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• United Airlines announced plans to charge overweight passengers for two seats. The passengers should insist on receiving two meals, two beverages, etc. Wonder if United will ask the fliers to step onto the suitcase scale at the ticket counter. Of course, they can expect to have their luggage lost twice too.

• Burger King apologized for its Texican sandwich advertising that offended Mexicans, announcing the campaign would be revised. The ads featured a short character wearing a Mexican flag as a cape. Mexico’s ambassador to Spain said the flag usage violated national law. A statement from the fast feeder read, “The existing campaign falls fully within the legal parameters of the United Kingdom and Spain where the commercials are being aired and were not intended to offend anyone.” These guys must think they’re working for a real king.
