Like a proper, proper bed... by Etihad, A380

[probes]

Well...

[1DC]

Not for me i would feel a pratt if i had to wear a hat back to front when i ate dinner.

I suppose he's what is called "an influencer", but if I were in charge of PR at Etihad I'd fire the guy who hired the biggest dick head I've seen for a very very long time. How awful can it get?? Words (almost) fail me.

It should’ve been Sir Ex-A and Lady TS as “the influencers” in that Etihad clip instead of that blithering unimpressive galoot. It would have given the airline badly needed style and penache. The Co PR Head would’ve received a whole lot of praise as well as the Ascots ‘emselves.

Wearing a hat (back-to-front or otherwise) and sunglasses indoors immediately brands the wearer as an utter pratt. Who is he anyway?

Casey Owen Neistat is an American YouTube personality, filmmaker, vlogger and co-founder of the multimedia company Beme, which was later acquired by CNN. In 2018, he founded 368, a creative space for creators to collaborate and influence each other.

He dropped out of high school during his sophomore year at the age of 17 and did not return to school, nor graduate. He eventually left his family and had a son named Owen, at age 17, with his then-girlfriend Robin Harris, in 1998. Between the age of 17 and 20 (from 1998 to 2001), he lived in a trailer park with Harris and Owen.
Before moving to New York City, Neistat worked as a dishwasher at a seafood restaurant, and was a short-order cook in Mystic, Connecticut.

I is an " Influencer " You might remember that I told you that Tesco were doing 25 % off 6 bottles of wine.I sent an email to Asda suggesting they up their game.The next morning Asda were doing 25 % off 6 bottle of wine.I've never had so much 19 Crimes in the house at one time.

Wife just dinged me. I forgot to turn off the ringer.

I forwarded that clip to her earlier and she immediately noted:

- The prat has chewed fingernails (real turnoff in Asia).
- He wears his sunglasses even in the friggin shower!
- The blonde cabin crew is really pissed off (I couldn’t tell).
- He’s dressed like a bum.
- He has no problem getting naked in front of a camera in a campaign to promote Etihad’s Rich Upperbuttcrack Class.

Apsara’s conclusions:

a) The guy is a total dooshbag
b) Your average bum couldn’t afford that kind of air travel, so what market was the clip meant to appeal to?
c) If upperbuttcracks were the target audience, Etihad blew it with that one prestige-wise.
c) she suspects said doosh has got only a little dick.

Having shared all that I’m gonna go back to sleep.

Pah, if you can't afford one of these then don't bother flying...

I wonder if anybody has an A380 kitted out as their own corporate jet?

As for the chap in the video he wasn't obnoxious or anything but his red back to front baseball cap was so wrong and as for washing his scants on board, well that really put the skid mark on the whole promotion effort.

I suggest somebody contact Etihad (so bad was the promotion that I wrote Emirates initially) and propose The Ex-Ascots as their influencers. A chap in a decent blazer with a cravat and his fine lady wife on his arm languidly requesting two gin and tonics would be just the ticket.

As for being a 'real' bed? What planet are these people living on? A real bed involves a wife who steals your pillow and spreads herself out by dint of the use of a sharp elbow in the ribs and a dog that finds safe harbour between your feet forcing you into a contortion that would do credit to Houdini in his water escape trick box.

I think that there is one.
Saudi Royal's??

Wasn't a real bed a cargo net hung between two stretcher support poles + a pair of ear-defenders to muffle the sound of noisy Allisons (the engines that is, not our revered Mod).

How the hell can anyone take an ignoranus (intentional spelling) like that seriously? The fact that they give publicity to a rubbish like that would put me off flying with them, not that I would anyway. I suppose the only benefit of the arrangement is that you don't get to mix with people like that on board.

....a short-order cook...

Is that code for "a Maccy D's burger flipper"?

No - he wasn't very tall . . .

Your taxi is here sir. Your hat and coat are waiting for you on the path.

There was a time, Cape, not too long ago really, when I would have been one hundred percent sure that such a description was a total windup.

Not today. The term "youtube celebrity" struck me as an oxymoron until someone much younger than I am read me the figures showing the viewership of little Chinese kids and such who allegedly speak to thousands of people at a time. I actually do know of one truck driver who has a channel which is nothing but a video camera out the windshield of his truck, who routinely has over five hundred people at a time watching.

I did not and have no reason to want to watch the posted video, but I can say with total conviction, that if I had ponied up the money to fly first class on that airline and I encountered that creature sharing the space in the vip lounge, I would likely have looked for an alternate flight.

[Rwy in Sight]

I would really like to know if the individuals able to afford this class of travel watch and are influenced by such clips.

I would be, but not the way the airline would wish for.

[Slasher]

I still say Sir Ex-A and Lady TS should try asking Etihad if it wants to target the true upmarket potentials via its own YouTube advert and not some silly unimpressive vid made by trashy galoot.

Or as suggested, to try the M-Rats mob if they have a similar class.
