The United Airlines incident that has garnered national outrage is becoming the butt of jokes for how airlines treat their customers.
David Dao, a doctor in internal medicine from Elizabethtown, KY, was forcibly removed and dragged by airport security when he refused to give up his seat on his overbooked flight on Sunday. Folks around the country have called for a boycott of the airlines, and on Tuesday morning, the company’s stock fell dramatically.

“Give us a problem and we’ll drag your ass off the plane, and if you resist, we’ll beat you so badly you’ll be using your own face as a flotation device,” the ad continues.
