Default Pay-for pound airline exposed as fake

This was exposed as a fake today - heck there's even a disclaimer at the bottom of the page!

Some web designer has too much time on his hands.

Too funny. It was only a matter of time before their hiring minimums made it to the forums.

lol.. I think the name kinda gave it away. I'm sure nobody actually "exposed" it as a fake.

Believe it or not there was an Associated Press story "exposing new airline as a fake." That's how I first heard about it.

Probably fit in someplace between Brittany Spears' weight loss/gain/whatever and the latest "some pastor says something to embarrass (Obama/McCain fill-in-the-blank)" BS distract the public from the real news story.

I think it is past my bedtime.

if you read the small print at the bottom, it clearly says that this was just a project by an advertising company

I can't believe you needed someone to tell you it was fake.


BTW, Skyhigh.com is also a fake.

and GrapeNuts has neither grapes or nuts.

and Darth Vader is Luke's father.

NYAH!!
