Delta Airlines Confirms: It Wants you to Hate Gays - Polidicks

At least, that's what the confirmation code says: [quote]H8GAYS. That’s the confirmation code a Delta Airlines customer saw on his boarding pass earlier this month. Naturally, he was pretty shocked. “At first I didn’t think I read it right,” Jeff White, a student at the University of West Florida, tells the Washington Post. “I was worried that another customer might think I somehow picked that code. If I were a gay male, I might have thought that a Delta worker purposely gave me that code, and that would have made me extremely uncomfortable.” Delta has apologized for any “concern or misunderstanding” and explained that the codes are always computer-generated completely random. A Delta rep tells the Post that the airline will make every effort to prevent a similar combination of letters and numbers in the future.[/quote] Source: [url]http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/12/17/delta-airlines-is-very-sorry-it-generated-a-confirmation-code-that-read-h8gays/[/url]

hilariously sensationalist title

Most Sensationalist headline of the day?

I doubt that it was intentional, their codes are indeed computer generated.

[QUOTE=Rocko's;43217593]I doubt that it was intentional, their codes are indeed computer generated.[/QUOTE] A million monkeys hitting a million typewriters for eternity... I guess airlines really do employ monkeys for everything.

I came into the thread thinking it was some anti-gay campaign; I was pleasantly surprised.

This reminds me of the woman who's Coke bottle-cap had the message "you retard" printed on it.

Must have been a flight to Moscow.

i would've giggled and sent a picture of it to my friends tbh

Have a gay step-brother who works for Delta.

This reminds me of the time I got one of those prepaid cards, scratched the back off and it called me an "ASSH0LE". Im serious.

Yeah, and my Vita's serial code is "USH17D1K5". Totally not bullshitting one bit.

I hope no overdramatic idiots [I]actually[/I] got offended.

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;43220477]why did you type your reply inside the quote wtf[/QUOTE] I just now realized that. My phone likes to go fucktarded sometimes when replying on Facepunch.

1Z455FCKFDX Huh...

K1llP33PS "OH NO THESE MURDERERS"

"Who wouldn’t enjoy looking down at a boarding pass and seeing URAQT or LUV4CATZ?" i would be sorta creeped out. i don't want computers to be calling me a "qt" or inquiring about my affinity for felines. [editline]18th December 2013[/editline] that's like, the last 2 things it should be doing. it's basically just slightly preferable to the computers all malfunctioning and causing every plane to collide.

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;43218179]I hope no overdramatic idiots [I]actually[/I] got offended.[/QUOTE] It would be stupid to actually get offended because it would only serve to debunk their argument. To say it was insensitive is to say it wasn't random. To say it wasn't random is to say that the universe/god/the powers that be [I]actually hate gays[/I]. Then where are we?
