Spirit Airlines' Tiger Woods Ad (PHOTOS)

Spirit Airlines has wasted no time capitalizing on the Tiger Woods crash and ensuing scandal. Visitors to the airline's web site are greeted with an "Eye of the Tiger Sale," which promises fares starting at $9 each way. The accompanying graphic shows an SUV crashing into a fire hydrant with a tiger peering out the driver's window. While it is unclear whether it is advisable for an airline, of all industries, to so proudly showcase crash imagery, the ads are already drawing attention online.

I think it's hilarious, just saddened to see how "IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS" still rules - I mean Serena was here in Barbados http://bit.ly/6ydRef and all folk are intrigued about is her bosom exposed when she boogie-boarded on our shores

If I ran an airline I don't think I'd use a crash image in my advertisements. But that's just me.

That's what I was thinking. But then I don't make the big bucks as an ad exec!

Is it necessary for you to post that in every TW thread?

Obviously you do not understand the concept....some men are actually faithful to their wives.

Airline advertising rule #1. Never use, show or intimate anything having to do with "crashing". Hello?

If you are going to be in the constant lime light ,you should behave accordingly, in order to avoid controversy.

So, the next time your wife beats the crap out of you with your golf clubs you should call Spirit?

Seems a limited market segment.
