I don't really see the resemblance but I guess that doesn't matter anymore with Lindsay as Elizabeth Taylor and such.

That was what Jet Blue was trying to claim— that it was FAA regulations, and they had no choice in the matter. This appears to be BS though, since, according to the local news article, FAA regulations state that people are to be allowed access to lavatories during delays.

This right here. I call bullshit on this flight attendant. I HATE to fly and I usually get the shits while on the tarmac due to a combo of nerves and xanax. I've gotten up to use the restroom when everyone was supposed to be seated or while taxing a number of times and only one flight attendant has said anything (I

seriously how lucky are they that she just had to pee?

I'm pregnant and have had to fly several times recently which means lots of bathroom trips during flight. The flight attendants have been very clear that they can't 'give me permission' when the seat belt sign is on or we are on the tarmac but they would not stop me. Basically if you have to go then go, but legally we

Oh, I totally saw that on the original story. Such bullshit, indeed! On the other hand, KFC launches an investigation and despite of the outcome, pledged $30,000 to the little girl's medical bills. Come on, Jet Blue.

You missed the best part they offered her all of 50$ in ticket vouchers (as in fly with us again and give us your money but but but ohhh save 50$ look how awesome we are) and to donate 5000$ to a charity of her choice (tax write off and cheap PR, and puts the woman in position where if she asks for more herself for

But JetBlue is getting a tax deduction for the donation, I bet!

Okay, as a PR person, this has been an interesting week with interesting stories (albeit horrible human decisions. I just want to clarify I don't delight in 3-year-olds getting the shitty end of the stick.) JetBlue fucked this one up, and KFC just nailed it. If you're going to issue an apology, try using a word that

My 3 year old wouldn't wear a pull up right now if I promised her a meeting with Elsa and Anna. (I just asked. There was not a moment of thought, it was a hard and fast no.) If I managed to get one on her, she would take it off while having the Mother Of All Tantrums.

I wouldn't think to put pull-ups on a child who had been reliably potty-trained for, let's say, a year.

This is terrible. A JetBlue flight attendant gave me a hard time once about using the bathroom while the fasten seatbelt sign was on, but didn't refuse admittance into the bathroom. He said he couldn't TELL me I could use the bathroom while the fasten seatbelt sign was on. So, I walked to the back of the plane and

Jet Blue also said they will comp the family $50 and $5,000 to a charity of their choice. What a joke of a company.

That's an apology?

This makes me so damned angry and sad. People have told me that my daughter's lazy eye is disturbing. It's not a lazy eye (and even if it was, fuck you) it is a prosthetic eye that is the result of three cornea transplants, raging glaucoma, cataract, and eye death. Anybody who thinks my amazing, beautiful girl is

First off: this totally sucks and is inexcusable. Secondly, I have to say I'm somewhat impressed with KFC's response. Sure, it's standard to issue something like that and is expected from a national corporation, but the language is different this time. It's less, "this is unfortunate and we're sorry," and more, "dude,

Agreed. This is what i thought of when I read this:

I had an interesting conversation with a friend. I talked about how I was very interested in the Holocaust when I was a child and imagined I would work at a memorial one day. Turned out that when I was younger I was able to stomach that information much better and now I actively avoid anything Holocaust related

Fuck those people. What kind of cruel monster would do say such a thing to a child? It's so sad that this little beautiful girl has already convinced herself that she's "ugly"! Fuck those people, seriously!

People?
