Smithers, Blog This
A certain monstrous mogul has taken over Jet Blue CEO David Neeleman's blog. Here's the latest:
Dear David Neeleman,
You’ve got it all backwards, Blue Boy. Smithers says you provide DIRECTV and Fox films on all your flights. Moving pictures and talkies on a flying machine… What’s next, a live performance by famed vaudevillian Baby Rose Marie?
As a young businessman in the Great Depression I learned customers are there for our entertainment. Not the other way around. I recommend poking your passengers with a sharpened twig or ridding the beverage carts of ice. It will be quite the hootenanny watching those sad saps drink their soda pop at room temperature.
If you’re using DIRECTV to distract the passengers while committing thievery, I respect your racket. But knowing you, Neeleman, you probably hand out shillings with every bemusement.
I must go now as Smithers has prepared my colon cleansing.
Sincerely,
C. Montgomery Burns
Eggs-sell-ent. Of course it's all another way to promote the Simpson's movie. Kudos to these guys for finding non-traditional promotional ideas (along with a bizillion traditional ads, of course). Excuse me, I must now go poke some readers with a sharpened twig...
