A major airline just sent me an email, with this in the subject line:
“You can still make a child”
What!?
I open it for the full headline:
“You can still make a child’s spirits soar.”
.

Soaring spirits. Ain’t happening.
(Well, I am chuckling a little at the absurdity.)

The thing is, you know there was an entire marketing department out there who thought this was simply the most clever campaign imaginable… friggin morons!
Ooph. A sneak attack that packs a punch.
I got that email too and almost dropped my blackberry as I glanced at it! Probaby written by some uber-fertile who obviously has no clue.
Urgh.Just urgh….Worse than when workmates who don’t know me from a bar of sopa comment how I mustn’y be planning to have any children, or I should hurry up. Stupid fools. Fertility is not universal, after all.J
The advertising companies MUST scrutinize these things to make sure what goes out reflects well on their product.They failed in this one.Sorry the spirits aren’t soaring today…
How crappy.They should invent a sideswipe filter, much like a spam filter but it would filter words related to painful topics. Hmmmmm . . .
AAargh! Doesn’t anyone screen those things! Sorry you were hit with that. Not nice.

I think Beagle’s onto something…
I love having you ladies in my corner!
Oooh, I like Beagle’s idea. Where you could program your own words for the filter.

Oh my gosh. That is ridiculous. I guess you just have to laugh, right?
