We just HAD to learn more about this cool way to roll up to the airport! And we did… It turns out, Adidas, as part of their big build-up to the FIFA 2006 World Cup, decided to literally launch players into the public with their +10 Impossible Team campaign.
TBWA had launched a huge outdoor campaign on the road to and from the Munich airport, boldly featuring German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn diving in to make a save. The imagery is mounted on a bridge across the motorway, which also happens to be breaking Germany’s laws, which ban such advertising on the autobahn.
Plane Pull
As intriguing as it was to see a huge group of small people tugging an airplane, we had to do some digging to see what in the world was actually going on here. Google actually proves that a Plane Pull is actually a thing.
This picture is from August 2017 and features a team of athletes from the University of Southern California competing in the Special Olympics. This group of determined youngsters is doing its best to pull a full-on plane through a distance of 12 ft. Also, different airlines and airports hold their own plane pulls as fundraisers. Who would have thought?
No Make-Out Sessions
Sometimes, when we drop off a loved one at the airport, we know we won’t be seeing them again for quite a while. Those are the hardest goodbyes to say because we know that we’ll be missing out on some important moments.
You hug your loved one and try to draw out that moment just a bit longer – but you’re limited to precisely three minutes at one airport in particular – the Aalborg Airport in Denmark. The Aalborg Airport has a designated Kiss & Goodbye zone, where loved ones can park for a short time, to say goodbye to the person traveling. But only for three minutes.
Stardust
Poor Fergie! She encountered some trouble while going through security at the airport. They made the singer go past multiple security points and get a pat-down. Fergie sure looked MAD — I mean, wouldn’t you be too, if you were Fergie? I mean jeez.
Celebrities are celebrities for a reason, it’s not like they’re going to hijack the plane and hold all of the passengers of the plane for ransom. Celebrities just don’t do those sorts of things; they should be held to different standards and rules, obviously. I mean, could you imagine: Fergie the Terrorist? What the hell, TSA?
Mr. Pink
It is hard not to like his outfit, especially when you take a peek at that statement bag. WOW. Is he going to New York Fashion Week? Is he a celebrity going incognito? You probably should not take fashion advice from this pink fanatic, unless you want to show up somewhere looking like a huge piece of bubblegum.
I think it is safe to say that this is the way to go if you want to be absolutely certain that no one talks to you at the airport, or while on the plane. I think this guy is a genius. It is all a ruse so no one talks to him! Be anti-social, but do it in style!
