Standing Seats are NOT Coming to a Ryanair Plane Near You
I doubt these yellow Ryanair seats will be taken out for stand up seats anytime soon I debated if I should even blog about this, but figured why not? Ryanair is out there running its (genius) PR machine again. It doesn’t matter how many times Ryanair says something the media will pick it up and treat it like fact. I love Ryanair’s...

In Bruges (Blu-ray)
In Bruges ($19) is a dark comedy that’s steadily picked up a cult following since its 2008 release. The story follows the actions of two Irish gangster/hit men who’ve been ordered to lay low – you guessed it – in Bruges (broozh), after a hit gets a little too messy.

Avianova Airbus A320-200 (EI-ELE) If you haven’t heard about Spirit Airline’s new (and “omg shocking”) advertisements, they are causing quite a stir .
