Spirit Airlines has done it again.

The airline, which has taken on pop culture in their ads for years, has taken on "Linsanity."

From Herman Cain to Tiger Woods to Charlie Sheen, the airline has a history of poking fun at celebs in order to promote sales.

The target this time is Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin, who has drawn much fan fare of late for his amazing plays.


Spirit has come under fire from Senator Barbara Boxer and flier's rights advocates for hidden fees.

Only time will tell if the Linsanely low fees sale helps recover some lost ground.

Deanna Fei: The Real Lesson of Linsanity

What's most undeniable about Jeremy Lin is that the guy has balls. Which obviously has always been true of other Asian males. But now Lin is demonstrating it in a way that even the most racist or ignorant person would be hard-pressed to refute.

So is Jeremy Lin getting paid anything by this airline for using his name? I hope he has legal representation to look into all of these unauthorized uses by the people riding the coattails of his success just to make money.
