Proving once again... not everyone can/should rap.

I guess they thought 20 minutes of this would be too much, so they cut it down to 9:22???
This video explains a lot about Southwest Airlines' staff. I was only able to watch a part of it because anyone who would actually sit through the whole thing during orientation without turning a gun on themselves just isn't right in the head.
Wow... just wow.
Now I want to play Toe Jam & Earl though...

@ChemNerd:
That game (and its many sequels) was craptastic!! I still get occasional impulses to play it in hopes of reaching the upper echelons of dudeness.

Dead link already? Please tell me someone mirrored it!

And we thought that video of Karl Rove rapping was bad :(

I got a few things to say about this:
1. Internal Marketing Genius
2. They delivered packages?
3. You had to call in to reserve a flight! OMG I am young!
4. These people were in the wrong profession
5. This is why people don't like rap music
6. \"My name is Herb big daddy-o\"
I hope this is the first of many posts tagged with \"Shuffle Fun Shuffle Shuffle Fun Shuffle Fun Fun Shuffle Fun Fun Shuffle Just Plane Fun\".

It was stuff like this video that had Southwest recognized as one of the best companies to work for in the country. It wasn't just for this video. The company used to play pranks on passengers, had flight attendants hiding in overheads and even had them do joke speeches to \"make sure you were paying attention.\" The video even highlights some of the business model that leaves Southwest as one of the only profitable airlines today. Their centralized maintenance parts facility.
These videos are infamous. I've never seen one, but there are tons of them. Southwest is one of the biggest case studies MBAs read.

@chiieddy: Some crews still do the joke speeches -- they're quite entertaining. I wish I could have been around for the hiding-in-overhead-bin gag, though!

They may be profitable but at the cost of their dignity.

I only got through 15 seconds before I had to shut it off.

@MightyDwarf56: 30 seconds. And those last 10 were spent holding back the vomit until I could control myself enough to stop the video.
OMG! I remember those Fun Wear uniforms! I used to work for SWA. I thought I had finally gotten that shuffle shuffle fun fun fun earwig out. Damn :-)
Southwest is my favorite domestic airline (the competition isn't exactly great).
This video only makes SWA my favoritest...ever...period. I want to meet the person who composed this song.
I could take exactly 32 seconds of that video

I like to imagine there's a certain level in hell where the souls of evil marketing people are forced to watch this for eternity.
Their CEO raps worse than I do when I'm trying to do it particularly poorly.
It's interesting trying to figure out who got stuck with lines that couldn't possibly scan properly, and who just has no rhythm whatsoever.
There are a few spots where the music just turns into a train wreck too.
Also, you can guess the rhyme about 80 percent of the time (if you can hear it).

Well, at least most of their commercials kick ass.
I would have became a hermit after staring in that video. That may be one of the most embarrising videos ever.
BTW does this remind anyone else of \"Shake Your Bon Bon\"?

Internet endurance test. I made it 16 seconds before stopping in horror.
My eyes and ears are both bleeding.
Damn you Consumerist! You'll pay for this, oh you'll pay....
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I have nothing productive to say here
