Manchu Wok sign in ORD is a slam dunk winner

For you travelers this Thanksgiving / Black Friday weekend:

My favorite airport advertising backdrop is in ORD/Chicago O'Hare.  At the Manchu Wok, there's a lighted sign with a guy in a Manchu Wok uniform about to make a monsterous slam dunk.  

At first blush, it doesn't seem to make much sense, but the player is actually an anthropomorphized fortune cookie.  The cookie's paper fortune extends, serving as a tongue, MJ-style.  The result: a 3-item combination of chinese food, sports and local lore.  Nice.

Unlimited flying @ JetBlue

JetBlue is offering an all-you-can-fly promotion: 30 days of unlimited flying (Sept 8 to Oct 8) for $600, with last seat availability and a 3-day reservation window.  Could have been even more interesting if bundled with MLB as a baseball road trip.
