Default Phila. newspapers run ads about fake airline Derrie-Air

Readers of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News opened their papers Friday to see ads for a new airline called Derrie-Air, which purportedly charges passengers by the pound.

But the new carrier will never get off the ground. It's a one-day advertising campaign about a fake airline by Philadelphia Media Holdings, the papers' owner, and Gyro ad agency.

It may be a joke, but it has an intriguing idea... charging passengers by the pound. What would you think of an airline that would charge you for a ticket by your weight. Say, $1.50 per pound.
