Soutwest Airlines BIG Mistake!

Pulling film director Kevin Smith off his flight because of his "size" has got the limelight on Southwest Airlines. Kevin Smith was pulled off the plane for being "too big" and not having two seats for the flight when he actually does fit in one, very bizarre! Southwest did not handle this situation well at all and is now saying they "could have potentially handled their communication better." Well that's for sure! Before this incident Southwest had the lowest number of customer complaints among US airlines in the past year. Southwest PR is really going to have to do some damage control here. I feel people now who are the least bit on the heavyside will be afraid to use this airline because of this incident. They are going to have to come up with something pretty damn good to fix this catastrophe.

Disastrous Publicity Stunts!

When it comes to disastrous publicity stunts a few stand out in my mind. The most recent one I can think of was Balloon Boy! This is the boy who supposedly floated away in a homemade air craft/balloon made by his father. The stunt this family conducted clearly went very very wrong. This was just was just one big PR disaster that the whole world knew about that was this family's quest for their 15 minutes of fame! All this family has to look foward to now is prison time and serious fines.

Another stunt gone wrong I will always remember was Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's performance during Superbowl XXXVIII. Janet's right breast was revealed while singing on stage. MTV had claimed they had no prior knowledge of the stunt and called it unplanned, unrehearsed, and completely unintentional. CBS was fined $550,000 by the FCC. To this day I wonder if it really was a "wardrobe malfunction?"

PR Stunts

Entrepreneaur Magazine released an article highlighting 5 of the worst and 10 of the best publicity stunts. I had never heard of any of these stunts before, but I definitely had a few laughs reading this article. All these publicity stunts were very interesting. I think the Vodafone one with having two mean run across the field naked was not the smartest but definitely most hilarious. My favorite stunt was snapple who attempted to build the world's largest popsicle in Times Square in NY but failed at this attempt when it started to melt and cover the streets in a stick mess!
