Irony

A professional colleague sent me the attached. It was supposedly sent out by Malaysian Airlines a few years ago. Yes, I know, a 777 only has 2 engines, but...

A340?

A340?

Looks more like an A340 than a 777, that's for sure.

A340?

That's an A380.

Occasionally, marketing folks really don't know what they are doing.

I remember an ad campaign for Microsoft some years ago, where some marketing type thought classical music was impressive and picked some rather inspiring Mozart to go with their "Where do you want to go today?" campaign.

It was from the Requiem, and the vocals were:

Confutatis maledictis,
flammis acribus addictis

I'll let someone with better Latin skills translate, but suffice it to say, it's about being damned.

Read the text. Never mind the plane. The irony is incredible.

Thanks, Ed. I'll let my friend know. I had a feeling that might be the case.

The fact they show an A380 and talk about a Boeing 777 should have been a clue. The text is just the dead give away...

Guys, an A340 doesn't have an upper and lower deck for pax. Only the A380 has that...barring the partial upper deck of a B-747...which nobody could mistake.
