jetrosexual.jpgAre You A Jetrosexual? Virgin Wants To Know

Richard Branson has identified a new breed of traveler, the "jetrosexual" or the "new jetsetters". They are 'people who leave terra firma behind each day to move business and culture forward'. With one flight, against all odds and a mountain of naysayers, Branson turned Virgin into a real success and now he has created a contest that rewards that kind of drive and amibition. Branson says, "That is why it is so important to celebrate those individuals -- the entrepreneurs, the rock stars of their industries -- that work hard and deliver, even in the face of what others see as impossible." Virgin-Atlantic is on the hunt for the ultimate jetrosexual. Someone who lives by what their marketing department likes to call the '11 Commandments Of A Jetrosexual'. If you are, or know someone who hits this promotion's g-spot, head on over to jetrosexual.com and describe your jetrosexuality in 200 words or less, and if they love it (if it's award-winning ad copy), they'll dish out 2 free Upper Class tickets to London.
