While this ad would probably never fly in the United States, it is currently making the rounds across the pond. The ad offers quite a different view of the airline that was featured in an excellent video tour Susan d'Arcy put together back in February.

Is this really what flying Silverjet is like? Hardly. However, passenger reviews have been steadily getting better this summer, here is what a recent Luton to Newark passenger thought:

SilverJet sets itself apart from its competitors by offering one unique feature. A Private “terminal” at both Newark and Luton. Coupled with a compromise between an old fashioned arm chair business class seat offered by MaxJet and the fully flat bed of EOS, in the form its lie flat 6’3” lie flat-at-an angle seat, this is a good product filling a clear niche between the two more established start ups in this area, with the added fun of being able to take a helicopter transfer from Battersea for an additional charge.

A quick check of FlightStats, shows Silverjet to be on time over 60% this month, with no flight cancellations this week. Obviously, the airline only runs about ten flights a day out of the U.S., so these stats are a bit skewed, but if there is girl on girl action in the lavs do you really care?

Ah, cartoonists--they're the underdogs of the art world. Not that comic art is oh-so-underground, but it has certainly fought longer and harder than most to be considered a fine art. Of course, while the art history students were whining, illustration majors were whooping their asses in art school anyway.

Whether you've always been turned on by comics or are merely curious, Masters of American Comics, a two-part show recently transplanted from L.A. to New York, is more than worth a look. That is if you natives can suck it up enough to pull a reverse  bridge 'n' tunnel, because part A (comic strips) is on display at the Newark Museum in Newark! New Jersey! Part B (comic books) resides at the Jewish Museum in Manhattan. Whew.

The exhibit zeroes in on fifteen chosen artists (the "masters") and delves deep into their art and influence. You have until January 28, 2007 to make it happen.
