Virgin have started a new ad campaign in the US. From Yahoo:

The best bit for me is the rooftop ads!

Interesting link given in the article too - if you've got an IATA number [:p][:p] you can get to it...

ROTFLMFAOPMP - I love those safety cards - top class advertising :)

BTW, my only downer with this campaign is hearing the "Go Jet Set Go" phrase on the hold tape when ringing VS USA, It's in an English accent but IMHO it sounds really forced & false [:(]

Cheers

I think the PE 'Blag Upgrade' ad campiagn has just been beaten - these are so funny!

Now it would be great if htey made the banners into a set of stickers.... I think I'll be using some of these as my new desktops and GINA logon banners on my computers.

Thanks,
Richard

LOL - I guess it was to make the "sophistication" statement, and I can see the intention, but maybe it's 'cos I'm English that I didn't really like it that much? Maybe our 'merican friends quite like it :)

Cheers
