Egyptian Travel Company Posts Ads Mocking EgyptAir Plane Hijacking

The above is the first of many such posts in which they spoofed the tragedy. Lions Trips even went as far as creating an event titled 'Get Kidnapped With Friends in Hurghada' to promote its upcoming trip, after which the page's administrators figured it would be a good idea to brag about the unwarranted attention they received by sharing a screenshot of an RT News story about their marketing gimmick. However, they apparently misinterpreted the author's words, saying the story was in fact praising Lions Trips for "supporting the tourism industry."

So while outrage is pouring forth in every direction over the British passenger's selfie stunt we're kind of wondering about Lions Trips' advertising technique and whether it was the best approach.
