Pepsi must have been overjoyed when United stepped up to take the bad publicity heat off them.
By now y'all will have seen the clip of the Doctor being dragged bleeding and screaming from a United Airlines 'plane. Our media are still saying the flight was overbooked, that wasn't the case. United wanted to off load four passengers so that they could fly a crew to St Louis for the next day. Last night our time Doctor Dao was still in hospital and has lawyered up.
Then a newspaper reported that the doctor had a troubled past. He had been struck off for issuing fraudulent prescriptions and for having sex with a patient but had subsequently been granted a licence to practice under supervision. It turns out though that the Doctor with the murky past is Dr David Anh Duy Dao The Dr on the plane was Dr David Thanh Duc Dao. "Provincial" news men evidently aren't up on their Vietnamese.
Pundits were guessing that the Dr would likely be getting ten million from the airline, there will now be millions more from the paper. By the time this is over the Dr will be able to afford his own bloody airplane.
Update:
The Daily Mail Australia are running this:

If that's gone global, and is the wrong guy, forget about him buying his own plane, he'll be able to buy his own airline. United might be going cheap?
