Virgin knows a little porn goes a long way

The airline with a naughty streak has a titillating new advertising movie spoofing soft-core porngraphy. Look for it on hotel pay-per-view channels

NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE , NEW YORK

The cast enthusiastically mocks the conventions of soft-core pornography by continuously delivering lines with double meanings; the women sigh and moan and the men speak in gruff growls. The cast overacts each scene by performing any activity, from getting a shoeshine to pouring hot fudge on an ice-cream sundae, in a sexually suggestive manner.

The parody ends with text on screen identifying Virgin Atlantic as the sponsor and offering a frequent-flier reward for watching.

"Where you tell your friends you saw this offer," the text reads, "well, that's entirely up to you."
