“Probably Worth Heading Over”

Posted by & filed under Life In London.

Thanks to the arrival of discount airline Zoom Airlines, there’s a fare war going on for flights to the US. Just in case low fares aren’t enough of an incentive to travel, the UK version of the travel website Travelocity has just sent out the following e-mail advertisement:

On the 4th of July the USA celebrates everything that’s great about their homeland. When the people who live there love their country so much, it’s probably worth heading over to check it out for yourself.

I can’t figure out if we’ve just been complimented or insulted.

    Same here! I guess the 4th of July may still be a sore point.

    I was thinking, “The British are coming!” might be a good slogan for this Travelocity campaign, but then again, perhaps not.

    Hello Genius,
    I just watched Charlie Kane again. What brilliance. I only wished I had played it straighter. Sigh.
    Is it cool if I post it to my Myspace for promo?
    Hope all is well there.
