Elton Air!

Elton John's mug is going to be plastered all over the side of some of the jets in AirTran's fleet. Apparently in this case, The Airline Formerly Known As Valujet is paying him to use his likeness.
This isn't the first time this has happened...if I remember right, Southwest had a Simpsons plane for a while.

Let's face it, crass commercialism sucks. But let's think about this the other way for a minute. Maybe all the cash-strapped airlines in the US should sell ad space on the side of their planes to raise money. There's plenty of companies out there that I'm sure are willing to pay for it.

(What a slow news day. Yawwwwwwn.)
