How does an airline get your attention with the pre-flight safety speech? Even better, how can they do it when you are not even on the plane yet? Well, one way is to strip the crew, body paint uniforms on them and video tape the whole deal. Most would agree that might make for a more interesting run through of the run down on the runway.
Of course, this is a not going to fly when the plane is full of passengers. So, doing a YouTube only video shoot is certain to get some attention. Now, while I'm quite certain no one wants an airline to joke or make light of onboard safety, I believe this is done in good taste (somewhat at least) and shows a some brand personality.

Effective use of YouTube? Sure, why not. The next time I fly, I don't have to pretend I am listening and can boast to the passengers all around me that I watched the entire safety routine from the comfort of my own home. Heck, I can even watch it in flight on my laptop or iTouch if WiFi is available.
