Cheapflights does not think much of you Today’s least flattering portrayal of one’s target customer comes from Cheapflights.com, which puts the emphasis on cheap in this banner ad, apparently designed to appeal to the discerning, nose-picking traveler. Brings back unwelcome memories of CareerBuilder’s nose-picking monkey and that pointless nose-picker helper device highlighted recently on Gizmodo. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Well, what do you expect? Most people no longer care for service when they fly, they only care about price. Charge them $69.99 and I'm sure they'd be willing to fly in a dog crate. Which is why airline service sucks, the seats are so tiny, the food is non-existing or those awful peanuts.

In this case it's the advertising the reflects the culture! Frankly, I'd be more interested in a cheapfirstclass.com website if it existed.

I actually like it lol It's offbeat humor and not the usual bland thing.

I agree with You Bobby, it's refreshing to see something new in humor. Most Adds lately are all "cookie cutter" copies.
