Alaska Airlines is Giving Away Worthless Sunglasses

But at least they’ve got a good tagline for it, with apologies to Timbuk 3.

    Alaska Airlines has a deal so bright that you’ll need shades. Luckily, we’re providing the sunglasses for this endless summer.


    Simply fly on any Alaska Airlines flight during August, September or October and receive a certificate for up to 4 pairs of free Gattaca Sunglasses with a retail value of $79 to $229 a pair
    (a small shipping and handling fee is required).


    You will also receive a certificate to extend your summer with discounted travel to seven sunny Mexico destinations. Discounts include:


    – Save 20% on airfare between September 1 and October 6, 2004
    – Save 10% on airfare between October 7 and December 15, 2004
    – Save 10% on Alaska Airlines Mexico Vacations September 1 through December 15, 2004

I’ll pass on the Gattaca sunglasses but I might find the discounts useful.

Now sing it with me…

    I study nuclear science, I love my classes

    I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses

    Things are going great, and they’re only getting better


    I’m doin’ all right, getting good grades

    The future’s so bright I gotta wear shades


    I got a job waiting for my graduation

    50 thou’ and year will buy a lot of beer

    Things are going great, and they’re only getting better


    I’m doin’ all right, getting good grades

    The future’s so bright I gotta wear shades
