Airline To Sell Advertising On Its Vomit Bags

[matcom]

now THAT is capitalism at its finest!

PHOENIX -- It's enough to make you sick -- barf bags with ads.

U.S. Airways will start selling advertising on its air-sickness bags. Airline spokesman Phil Gee said the company is looking for new ways to counter rising jet fuel and labor costs.

Passengers will start seeing the ad bags in September.

The idea might not be as weird as it first sounds. Aviation consultant Michael Boyd said plenty of companies would like to see their logos plastered on the side of a barf bag. He also said people aren't throwing up on planes as much as they used to.

1. Uhh....

I find it highly disturbing just how much stuff in the world today has advertising on it because it's not getting enough money the way it's supposed to. All I know is they better not put ads in dreams...

(I'm thinking Fry's dream about underwear from "Futurama"...)

But seriously folks, ads on barf bags? What's next?
