Guest fountainhall Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Don't’ya just love it? A guy and a girl in Hong Kong just wanted to have a bit of quick fun. Sadly for them, someone – believed to be the guy – took a few naughty pics on his phone and downloaded them on to a computer. Oh! Stupid, stupid man! Surely he must have been aware that Hong Kong was rocked by a major scandal only a few years back. Then, a galaxy of pics of local pop idol Edison Chan, all taken by himself and showing him cavorting with various starlets in states of undress with their mouths around his pleasant-looking but otherwise unremarkable appendage, appeared in dozens of Hong Kong publications. In his case, a repairman working on silly Edison’s laptop had found and copied the pics. Said repairman ended up in jail, but not before the idol had become a laughing stock and the starlets disgraced. Such is life in the fast lane, I guess! The guy in our story, who happens literally to work in the fast lane, has found himself with a similar fate. Someone got hold of the pics from his laptop (will these porn pics guys never learn?). Now they have been splashed all over the Hong Kong media and all around the world on the internet. And this time the consequences have been far reaching. Our hero happened to be a pilot with Cathay Pacific; our heroine, an attractive flight attendant. And the location of their little tryst? Where else, but the cockpit! Perfect! For their folly, both have been fired. Sadly for the airline, though, it was about to launch worldwide a new phase of its multi-million dollar ad campaign. It’s theme? “Meet the team who go the extra mile to make you feel special." Cathay Pacific bosses are livid, with one telling the South China Morning Post, “The timing of this scandal could not have been worse in marketing terms.” Indeed, that entire campaign is now on hold (but who is 'holding' whose what has not yet been made public - ooooh!) It’s all rather a pity really, because Cathay, which zealously protects its brand ‘image’ as one of the world’s top airlines, has recently been recruiting some very attractive young men as cabin attendants, including one tall, slim Thai I chatted to a few months back. I’d be thrilled to meet him again on board and let him go the extra mile with me. But our hapless defrocked duo have now put an end to that pleasant thought. What a pair of spoilers! http://travel.usatoday.com/flights/post/2011/08/cathay-pacific-photo-scandal/415254/1 Quote
Guest thaiworthy Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 This is a new twist to the old adage "coffee, tea or me," but with pilots now-- glory be! You can't blame Cathay Pacific. But just about every advertising slogan ever used can be taken with sexual innuendo. It was just bad timing. Here are some other advertising slogans used by airlines in the past, which could have been just as saucy in the shadow of this scandal. Southwest Airlines: How do we love you? Let us count the ways. United: Fly the friendly skies of United. American: Something special in the air. American: Doing what we do best. British Airways: We'll take more care of you. Austrian Airlines: The most friendly airline. Continental: The Proud Bird with the Golden Tail Continental: We really move our tails for you. TWA: Up, up and away. Braniff: If you've got it, flaunt it. Iberia: More than just flying. Jet Airways: The joy of flying. Air New Zealand: The world's warmest welcome. Saucy slogans The airline business is a glamorous one, so sex and glamour are not exactly strangers to each other. Cabin crews seem to zip thru security . . . so one wonders what toys and naughty things we'd find hiding in the carry-ons, far from the prying eyes of the x-ray scanner. Mebbe they deserve some closer scrutiny. Fountainhall, next time you fly, ask that tall slim Thai to help you adjust your seat belt! Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Fountainhall, next time you fly, ask that tall slim Thai to help you adjust your seat belt! If he was to bend over and help me with the seat belt, it would certainly need to be adjusted as something would be forcing it outwards One of the best slogans was the old National Airlines - gobbled up by PanAm, which in turn was gobbled up by Delta and United as the legendary airline collapsed. National named its planes after girl's names, and featured media ads with sexy mini-skirt clad hostesses saying: "I'm Barbara - Fly Me!" But when passengers began to realise the sexy image was just a gimmick and comfort had given way to functionality, airlines began to get tags based on the letters in their names. BOAC - Better On Another Carrier SABENA - Such A Bloody Experience, Never Again TWA - Try Walking Across But the best one was - LUFTHANSA - Let Us Fuck The Hostesses And Not Say Anything Odd that the first three 'died' or merged, but Lufthansa still flies proud and erect Quote
Rogie Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 THAI - That handsome ass . . . immediately! QANTAS - Quality asses? - numerous temptations attract shaggers ETIHAD - Educating the impulsive - hard-ons are docked! Sorry to be somewhat crude, but I guess that's the whole point of the exercise!

Guest fountainhall Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 One thought springs to mind for Cathay Pacific, bearing in mind recent events - Cute Asian Temptresses Horny And Young Penetration And Climax If Fucking Is Contemplated Pity it doesn't rhyme, though Quote
Rogie Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Pity it doesn't rhyme, though It doesn't need to, it's stands on its own merits! How about Virgin Atlantic: Virgins in rear gallery imitating nurses . . . Alas, the lads are not that interesting - curses! Quote
