Spirit Airlines Cashes In On WeinerGate Part Two With Special Vacation ‘Package’…

 

Continuing with a theme they started after Anthony Weiner‘s “sexting” scandal first broke in 2011, Spirit Airlines is now launching another pun-laden promotion centered around the embattled NYC mayor’s penchant for sending photographs of his penis to women who aren’t his wife.

After Weiner was caught red-handed two years ago in the midst of “sexting” various women, the quirky airliner offered a “Weiner Sale” with “sales too HARD to resist,” including a special $9 offer on select flights. This method of “shock marketing” quickly became viral in the wake of Weiner’s crotch debacle:

Now that it’s been revealed that Weiner continued to lust after women on the Internet even after resigning his congressional post over the ordeal, Spirit saw an opening to bring back the promotion:

“The Weiner Rises Again,” declares the promotion, complete with “Carlos Danger” theming and a continuation of the hot dog cartoon. Book now and get $24 off select flights, all thanks to Weiner and his smart phone aimed at his crotch.
