Now Everyone can Cry

Air Asia says 'Now Everyone Can Fly'
Air tickets so cheap its worth a try
Through the Internet You Can Buy
MAS shook their heads 'My oh My'
That Datuk Tony Fernandez fella, he's so Sly
And Idris Jala's plans and sights are only set on profitable routes like Dubai
What will happen to the folks from the rumahpanjai?
As they look up at the planes that pass by
I guess they will stick to using the sungai
When they want to practice thier adventurous spirit of 'berjalai'
Nothing much they can do except ask 'Why or Why?'
Internet access in the rural is as good as Nadai
Our planners and economists never fail to stupefy
Now that the price of oil goes up high
They say prices of goods and services wouldn't hurt a fry
Everyone now knows that its a lie
I can't even afford a drink of Mai Tai
Nor a plate of imported Apple Pie
So Datuk Tony Fernandez I hope you are still our guy
Help make the folks dream of taking to the sky
So that Air Asia is truly for Malaysians and not only orang ribai
We can ill afford the various cukai
Now as our purse and wallets slowly go Dry
We hope we wouldn't have to say, Air Asia, Now everyone can Cry

Firefly,the airline without a url

I’ve never studied marketing but I’d imagine (readers with expertise in the field please correct me if I’m wrong) that if I were planning to start a new airline that plans to attract foreign tourists and use e-commerce to sell tickets, I’d want to ensure that my brand name url is already under my control before choosing the name.
Yet, both firefly.com (owned by microsoft no less) and firefly.com.my are already taken, leaving the airline to resort to using www.fireflyz.com.my. When you google firefly airline, the official website doesn’t appear at all on the the first page results.




How are customers going to purchase your tickets if they can’t even find any information or contact for the airline?
This airline might be better named air dugong, at least the .com tld is still available.
