President Obama was seen taking a selfie photo with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and British Prime Minister David Cameron at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela on Monday.

When contacted by BuzzFeed regarding the ad, the company issued the following statement:
Spirit spøkesman, Jørgen Jørgensen, stated: "I have been proud to work with Spirit in its unending quest for løw færës."
