United Airlines wants you to print out your boarding pass with all kinds of advertising attached. Only at the very bottom of the page do you discover that you can print it without this stuff -- but the link to that information is deliberately obscured with blue text on a blue background.
Note to United: This isn't clever marketing. It's obnoxious.

thanks for the tip on where the real print button is.Oct 1, 2012
+Dirk Hohndel I will continue to print out boarding passes as long as airlines continue to have computer downtime...and they do periodically.Oct 1, 2012
United's efforts at modernizing the ticket process do indeed suck. In addition to the pages of advertizing they try to get you to print out, I find the constant attempts to sell me "mileage multipliers" really annoying. For their frequent flyers, at least, they need to provide a permanent opt-out for all that crap.Oct 1, 2012
"And for only $100 more, we will take you from London to Paris via Moscow, which will greatly multiply your miles!"Oct 2, 2012
+Andres Soolo But you'll be in coach on a Tu-104 (hmm, that might actually be better than some of United's current aricraft ...)Oct 2, 2012
