Now that's some mighty mega-marketing
File this under Annoying Rich People Who Won’t Go Away: Virgin Atlantic’s Richard Branson (that’s Sir Richard Branson to you) is getting a little help from the Spice Girls in naming a new jumbo jet that will be christened in honor of their Return of the Spice Girls world tour. Posh, Sporty, Ginger, Baby, and Scary have a short list for fans to choose from: Spice One, Girl Power, or Spice Girl. Yes, I’m not even kidding. Fans can vote for their favorite name on the official Spice Girls website. One winner, who will be picked at random, will get to meet the band and see the aircraft in a naming ceremony. The competition closes Dec. 5. Go. Vote. May the spice be with you.
