This has to be an April's Fool. But a day early?

Typical VS - can't even launch an April Fool on the right day !


Did someone at VS watch 'The Core' in the last few weeks? lol

Seriously, Im beginning to think the press department at VS is staffed by retards.

The only plausable reason I can think that it's been released a day early is that tomorrow is a Sunday...and they probably don't work :s

Even so....good work VS for demonstrating, yet again, your ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

It was 1st April before the first post over the Pacific.

The press release was from the Republic of Vanuatu and it was 00:00 April 1st there when it was released.

The press release was from The Virgin Group, not the "retards" at Virgin Atlantic.

Thanks for clarifying that; though I stand by my catagorization of the VS PR team being retarded - 'you can now fly anywhere in the world with Virgin' being a case in point. Come to think of it, wasn't that gem released by the Virgin Group earlier this week?

It might be a good time to point out that site rules forbid ad hominems, and I think we should extend that courtesy to staff at Virgin. Language like 'retards' is a bit insulting, and overstepping the mark here.

Fair enough, point taken.

I retract my personal opinion that they are 'retards'.

Apologies.
