British Airways EPIC FAIL.
Check out the name on this faux boarding pass, featured in BA's internal magazine:



:wtf:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_ts2359

So how did this happen? The short answer is that no one knows — or at least, no one's telling if they do. A British Airways spokeswoman told ABC News reporter Scott Mayerowitz that "a mistake has been made in this internal publication and we are working to find out how this occurred." And in response to a follow-up call from Yahoo! News, another spokeswoman for the airline remained firmly on message, saying, "We're still working to find out how this occurred at this time."

The gaffe could be the result of a tasteless prank that got out of hand — but current speculation is running toward the theory that it's the handiwork of a disgruntled employee. British Airways is currently locked in a labor dispute with the union representing its cabin-crew workers, and the strike has grounded flights for thousands of travelers in one of the busiest travel times of the year. At issue in the labor fight is a proposed cut in the base salaries for new flight attendants. The company estimates that it has lost more than $150 million in revenue during the dispute.


And now, your moment of Zen...

As the travel site Gadling.com mused, "sadly, knowing the brilliant minds behind the anti-terror organizations, the terror level will be raised to 'red hot' on October 26, 2010, while airport police all over the world try to figure out which airport the most wanted terrorist in the world will be flying to."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

3. Where did you get that pic from?
It looks like from a collection of porn images in Disney films.

4. The story goes a disgruntled Disney employee made the castle look
like a penis...it does...however, now they claim it wasn't a disgruntled employee, but an employee who was rushed...if you ever get a hold of a copy of Little Mermaid on VHS, you'll see it.
