The blatant liers at Spirit Airlines
From their website today:
Primo Numeri is here and believes that all his sales are prime examples of great savings. Not to be confused with his cousin Cheapano Fibonacci, Primo’s sales consist of only prime numbers.
$2, $3, $5, $7, $8,…
Note to Spirit: 8 is not a prime number. It’s this kind of misinformation that has lead to our nation’s children to the bottom of the barrel in math skills.
Liquid Egg Product proposes a lawsuit in recompense for yet another example of corporate malfeasance, wilful incompetance, emotional rape, and psychological distress. Due to this shoddy, deceptive advertisement, the nation’s schools must spend countless hours reteaching the concept of prime numbers. Young, impressionable students will be hopelessly confused, thus hindering the education they so desperately need. Furthermore, when Americans visit other nations, and mention 8 as a prime number, it will reflect poorly on the capabilities of the nation, influencing foreign public opinion. This will hamper the USA’s already difficult diplomatic efforts.*
Thus, Liquid Egg Product believes some restitution is in order. $67 million dollars should do the trick.
(I wonder if they’ll countersue for using their pic on this site? Or would they be happy for the free advertisement? Or both…)
Liar not lier :-d
Wheeeee I’m in chicago and trying not to work
Reply to annieAnnie, you already try not to work when you’re at work. Is Chicago an actual vacation, or a business trip?
Good catch on the spelling, and that error now puts this post on my personal favorites list. The irony is that I misspelled “incompetance” on purpose for effect.
Reply to Donnie BriggsI was in chicago on vacay – and a much needed vacay it was. I am refreshed and actually not resentful at all about returning to work. we walked lots, ate lots, rested lots… when I get pictures I will post. Oh, and we got to visit with Theresa! She lives a few blocks from our hotel so it was super fun catching up with her.
