ICYMI, United Airlines caused worldwide outrage on Sunday when airline staff and police used physical force to get a passenger off a flight — because the airline overbooked it.
The unidentified man was left bloody after the incident. The airline and federal authorities both said they were investigating.
On Monday night, in response to the incident, Jimmy Kimmel debuted a ~new motto~ for the airline on his show. "United Airlines: Fuck You."
“United Airlines: Fuck you.” @jimmykimmel went nuts on @united tonight: https://t.co/8cx6qnc4px… https://t.co/NRXPWa2WCs
Soon, many other people on Twitter were coming up with their own modified slogans for the airline, using the hashtag #NewUnitedAirlinesMottos.
#NewUnitedAirlinesMottos Why beat your competitors when you can beat your customers?
Most people came up with creative ways to warn passengers that if you fly United, you may get beat.
New Boarding Policy: "Eeny, meeny, miney, mo..." #NewUnitedAirlinesMottos
United only provides the best service to its customers!
#NewUnitedAirlinesMottos We treat you like we treat your luggage.
It puts the "hospital in hospitality!"
We put the hospital in hospitality. #newunitedairlinesmottos
"Not enough seating? Prepare for a beating."
Not enough seating? Time for a beating. #NewUnitedAirlinesMottos
After all, United's current motto, "fly the friendly skies," never said anything about what happens in the cabin.
We said that it was "the skies" that were friendly #NewUnitedAirlinesMottos
"If we cannot beat our competitors, we beat our customers."
And I thought the TSA was bad. . . #NewUnitedAirlinesMottos
Others trolled the airline's statement after the incident, where they claimed they needed to "re-accommodate" the passenger.
We can re-accommodate you the easy way... or the hard way #NewUnitedAirlinesMottos
"Let us re-accommodate you."
#NewUnitedAirlinesMottos Let Us Re-Accommodate You!
Others made fun puns.
