Fake Airline Sues Real Airline

OK, this one is wierd... The Austrailian airline Qantas has launched a new domestic low-fares airline called JetStar Airways. Unfortunately, the name JetStar was already in use by an American airline called JetStar International. This company has now sued the Austrailian airline for copyright infringement (among other things).

Here's the strange part, though. JetStar International isn't a real airline at all... it's a fake airline that exists only in the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Seriously. Try buying airline tickets from their site... it sends you to Expedia.

I wonder if MS Flight Sim predate's Ultima Online as the first online MMORPG. Probably not, since it wasn't an online multiplayer game at the time... but an interesting thought, nonetheless.
