We interrupt your sports reading and arguing to bring to you the worst advertising campaign of the year. Well, maybe it isn’t really the worst, since it has us talking about them, but it is definitely the most pathetic and tasteless. Spirit Airlines is known for pushing the envelope in their advertising. A couple years ago they started their M.I.L.F campaign – “Come check out our MILFS” was a slogan. It stood for Many Islands Low Fares. They also wanted you to look at their DDs. Deep Discounts. Now with the horrendous conditions due to the BP oil leak, that are threatening beaches all along the Gulf Coast and eastern seaboard, Spirit has unleashed their latest piece of shit -
That’s real clever, Spirit! See, they are talking about the oil on the girls at the beach, and we are supposed to laugh because it is trying to make a joke out of the damage from the oil leak. The leak that is ruining lives for people who depend on the ocean for their livelihood, or cities that depend on it for tourism, and that is killing wild life. So friggin funny.
Fuck you, Spirit.

I prefer to fly airlines with
disgruntled pilots.#7 by GatorTrey on June 22, 2010 - 2:31 pm
Not going to lie. Minus the strike, Spirit was pretty solid to my wife and I over the years.
Florida tourism is really getting hit hard because of this spill and Spirit at the same time has been hammered because of the strike.

Forgot about that. But still, Their flights to the Bahamas from o-Town are liek $80 RT.
I won’t cry for paying for a carryon if that is the case.

#12 by HawkEye19 on June 22, 2010 - 3:02 pm
What Trey’s really thinking.
#13 by spencer096 on June 22, 2010 - 3:03 pm
i thought it was a play on “oil on our bitches.”
my mistake.
#14 by sparty on June 22, 2010 - 3:05 pm
80 bucks to get laid in the bahamas? he should just take her to charley’s steakhouse and get a good meal.
#15 by knightwhosaysni on June 22, 2010 - 3:30 pm
I think Sparty’s been taking too many of Trey’s romance advice ideas to heart.
#16 by GatorTrey on June 22, 2010 - 3:32 pm
