All power to the virgin proletariat!
Posted by Lissa on February 26, 2009
I pass this ad in South Station every morning:
Even aside from the distasteful Marxist-revolutionary imagery, whose brilliant idea was it to juxtapose “virgin” with fists?
And as for the “ALL AIRLINES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL” line — well, if it’s meant to invoke Animal Farm, shouldn’t the designer be aware that Orwell wrote the book as a condemnation of Marxism-Leninism?
Or am I reading too much into this?
Four legs good, two legs bad! BAA!!!

They have similar ads at Park Street now too. I pretty much refuse to buy from companies that use leftist revolution as a sales pitch, even though I might normally make an exception for a company using fists and the name Virgin.

Nobody is sure where they got it, but the pigs seem to have come up with enough money for another case of whiskey.
