United Unveils New Commericial
There have been plenty of online jokes in the wake of United’s PR disaster over the weekend.
This is among the best I’ve seen:
My own contribution:
United's theme music, Gershwin's 'Rhapsody In Blue' will henceforth be called 'Rhapsody in Black & Blue'

I’ll be here all week,folks. Try the veal, and remember to tip your waitress.
I like this one:

Seen elsewhere: “We put the hospital in hospitality.”
Nice. On Facebook someone had a United training video using the scene from Airplane! where everybody is standing in line to take turns smacking an upset passenger.
“Board as a Doctor – Depart as a Patient”
The best one I’ve seen touts the new contract United Airlines got with the U.S. government.
They’ve been sub-contracted to forcibly remove Assad.
I liked the Southwest mock-up: “We beat our competitors’ fares, not our customers.”
From what I have now seen and read, it was not Untied Airline’s plane. It was a Republic AIrlines. The Untied pilots are hollaring about that.
I never did like Untied’s tv commercials. Too much wine and cheese atmosphere. Give me Moon Pies and 7 Up.
