Hotelicopter is yanking your wank

Bunch of tech sites covering the phenomenon called the Hotelicopter. They are being dead serious about flying friggin hotel inside of an old modded Russian Mil V-12 copter (NATO designation “Homer”). Apparently someone with good Photoshop and mad 3D animation software skills slapped together a “convincing” site complete with an animated concept video and a sales pitch that goes something like
“The Hotelicopter features 18 luxuriously-appointed rooms for adrenaline junkies seeking a truly unique and memorable travel experience. Each soundproofed room is equipped with a queen-sized bed, fine linens, a mini-bar, coffee machine, wireless internet access, and all the luxurious appointments you’d expect from a flying five star hotel. Room service is available one hour after liftoff and prior to landing.”

I like April Fools jokes and leaking them prematurely makes them more credible, but this is a bit silly. As far as I know the only Mil V-12 chopper in existence has been mothballed in a Russian Aviation Museum, in the woods 38 clicks outside of Moscow. Plus the interior shots of the Hotelicopter have been jacked from the Yotel website (yotel.com). Yotel’s actual claim to fame include pod like hotel cabins in the craptacular Gatwick and Heathrow Airports. My deviously paranoid mind concludes that this is perhaps a publicity stunt by Yotel.com, that gets their Yotel.com name listed many times giving Yotel.com traffic and recognition as this thing gets debunked perhaps by Yotel.com themselves.
