The extreme left has this arrogance that drives me crazy. It probably cost them the last two presidential elections. Definitely the last one. They honestly believe that everyone thinks like them and believes what they believe. You see it all the time in Hollywood with the Republican or Bush jokes, not realizing that it turns off at least 40% of their audience. No wonder they are in financial trouble and scratch their heads when kids movies rake it in or moronic shows like According to Jim. I stopped watching Gilmore Girls and Curb Your Enthusiasm because they stopped being about entertaining everyone and started with the agenda crap. Same thing happened after season 1 with Northern Exposure. This happens in all sorts of entertainment, even comic books with Marvel's recent series Civil War, another dig at Bush and his government. The point is not whether Bush is doing a good job or not, it's about knowing and respecting your audience. Well now this insanity has reared its ugly head in the business world with JetBlue.
JetBlue, an airline that is supposed to be about growing their business and customer satisfaction, has been caught sponsoring an extreme far left maniacal convention. This blogger summed it up perfectly.
After all the troubles they have had, to do this is simply sheer stupidity. And their response was even stupider:
"JetBlue is pleased to sponsor the YearlyKos Convention. This is the largest gathering of bloggers and online communicators, a community of growing importance to any company. By sponsoring the convention, JetBlue does not endorse the diversity of personal views represented at the gathering. Our sponsorship simply makes it easier to get people to Chicago for the event.... Simply put, it’s none of our business why you travel - we just want you to choose JetBlue for our friendly and comfy seats, and we want you to talk about your experience."
Fist of all, are they delusional with this diversity of opinions crap? Have they ever looked at the site? And where are the right wing sponsorships? Of course there aren't any. Remember this is a site that wished cancer to come back to Tony Snow. A real level headed organization.
All this is a shame since I actually liked flying JetBlue.
Oh well, its back to Southwest.
