[This might be the thing that gets me back to looking at Twitter again.](http://dangerousminds.net/comments/united_airlanes_twitter_account_drolly_trolls_disgruntled_fliers) > [@](#): > > United Airlanes is a fake Twitter account representing a fake airline with whimsical, silly, satirical tweets mocking the traditional customer service responses you expect from businesses. Especially ones that suck as much as airlines. > > [snip] > > Some people think they are tweeting the real United Airlines, usually to complain about something. They must have missed the tweets about offering Sky Indulgence points that you can redeem during the Cloud Rapture. Or the tagline that says: “Airplanes are just magic we don’t understand yet.” Or, you know, the (parody) after it. Sample tweets: > [@](#): > > United Airlanes @unitedairlanes > > Though oxygen is flowing, the bag may not inflate. If it does, you are inhaling millions of Micro-Spiders and suffocation is now a blessing. and > [@](#): > > stepharoozoo @stepharoozoo > @unitedairlanes miles are worthless! Plus you can’t buy much with 10k miles except a DVD- who watches DVDs anymore? #unitedairlinessucks > United Airlanes @unitedairlanes > > @stepharoozoo United Airlanes reminds you that DVDs are as sharp as they are archaic, and that cutting tools will be valuable on the island.
