LOL...new airline charges you based on how much poundage you have in your caboose...hence, Derrie-Air airlines

Well, it all turned out to be a marketing scheme. The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News newspapers reportedly allowed a company to place an ad for an "airline" called Derrie-Air which supposedly charges customers to fly according to their weight...lol. Brilliant marketing scheme to drive traffic to the website flyderrie-air.com. I'd like to hear the stories about those who actually tried to book flights.

Should the newspaper have allowed this and I wonder if the customer service worker who handled that account knew this was possibly a bogus ad. They would not have made a cent in this country if they were a legit airline...not with all of these fatties running around, and the ACLU would have been all up in that piece with weight discrimination lawsuits stacked as high as the clouds....lol. Where's the booty cheeks logo? No spokesmodel...hmmmm, Serena, JLo, Nay Nay...just thoughts...lol.

Here is the supposed disclaimer tagged at the end of the ad:

"A disclaimer labels the ad campaign "fictitious" and says it is designed "to test the results of advertising in our print and online products and to stimulate discussion on a timely environmental topic of interest to all citizens."
