That is exactly what I thought. My initial reaction was that it was some sort of sick joke. After reading some posts it seems possible that the designers never saw the connection, but I think it's more likely that Frank is right - it is probably an advertising ploy. I will be interested to hear the response to your e-mail Emoni.yukio_michael said:The first thing I thought when I saw that ad, was that plane has no wings...
Thank you for sharing. I guess :?Emoni said:Alright, last night I got an email from JR. I had to think about it a bit before posting on it. I WILL NOT be posting the original email I recieved, as it was a surprisingly candid and honest email. It impressed me to a great deal, and as I know for a fact that this ad was not made on purpose and the response I got, I am going to keep the original email private. You can think whatever you want about this, but I will not be changing my mind. I hope you understand.
I will give a short summary of the reply for the most part. I was quite impressed by the email actually.
After seeing the picture I forwarded in the email and the explaination, they agreed completely that it brought to mind and reminded people of the 9/11 attack, and even admitted that it was clearly a careless mistake and that the main office would be notified. Apparently, it was from the JR office in New York as well.

The first thing that came to my mind was, "Gee, does that look kinda phallic?"
