Be curious to hear your thoughts on this one, which is obviously a spoof site, but also a relatively subtle marketing tactic for Alaska Air:

http://www.skyhighairlines.com/

I don't know if it's done anything pro or con for the airline, but it cracks me up. This company's ability to laugh at its industry's bad side makes me feel good about the company--am I just a sheep, or are they onto something?

(I know--baaa)
