The Common Golfer

Spirit Airlines is running an “Eye of the Tiger” sale, trying to cash in on the buzz being generated by Tiger Woods current family problems.  The sale depicts an actual tiger behind the wheel of a Cadillac Escalade crashed in to a fire hydrant.

It’s a jungle out there! Make sure you avoid all the obstacles and get the lowest fares. Take advantage of fares from only $9* each way!

I have a feeling this promotion is going to anger a lot of people.  Personally, it doesn’t anger me – I think Tiger deserves whatever he gets for cheating on his wife, and I find the ad funny.  However, I still find the move questionable on the airline’s part.  The shocker here should be that you can get a plane ticket for $9!  Why risk alienating potential customers?
