A vintage American Airlines ad sends mixed messages… Hold me.
The ad touts “the American Way” but spells “travellers” the British way.
As a gay man, I totally think that it should be exactly this way again, every time you get on a plane. Except it should all be very camp and tongue-in-cheek, that way all of the cool people on the plane can have lots of fun at the expense of the one or two redneck assholes who don't realize that they are the flight's comic relief. Also, I think that women with mod hairdos, ivory Uhura dresses, and capes (!!) are too fucking awesome and more than most of us deserve. If Amy Winehouse wasn't a drugged-out waste, she'd spend most of her time wishing she looked this fucking good.
Has anyone else noticed that the American Airlines logotype in this ad is not in Helvetica? What. The hell.
