Among all the controversy that has encompassed Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, businesses are still trying to grasp consumers’ attention with political promotional products. This cartoon animation on the Spirit Airlines website seems to have a connection with the nomination, as the judge “Ochita Suprema” could be representing the real Sonia Sotomayor. The seemingly Puerto Rican judge is shown slamming a gavel on the bench, declaring that fares are now reaching prices as low as $8.00. This promotional campaign seems to be on the controversial side, so I hope Spirit Airlines is also utilizing some standard promotional products as well; such as custom keychains or imprinted pens.
