Korean Air Ad

First these guys tried to lure us with sexy-looking flight attendants who flirted with us through the TV screen, like air travel with them was some kind of “gentlemen’s club” or something. But now, they’ve really gone too far! This recent campaign shows a couple sitting on the wings while the plane is in flight! Really? They make you sit on the outside of the plane? I’m sorry, but I don’t care how sexy your stewardesses are, I still want to sit inside the plane. Is that too much to ask?

But wait a minute, perhaps what they’re really doing here is something else entirely! What if, for the rest of us, what they’re really trying to tell us is that they’re going to make all of the hot young people with model-looks sit on the wings of the airplane, while the rest of us less-hot people get to sit in seats on the inside. For people who got picked on in high school, or for people who are tired of the skinny models in fashion magazines, perhaps this is the airline for you! Then you could just look out the window and watch them suffer for however long the flight is. Wouldn’t that be nice, for a change?

Here’s the ad (they try to sneak it in there that you have to fly on the outside, but I caught it!):
