April has been a big month for PR disasters.

Last week there was the now-infamous Kendall Jenner Pepsi commercial that was withdrawn after the huge backlash it received. This week, though, the spotlight has been firmly fixed on United Airlines.

On Monday, a video showing a passenger being forcibly dragged from his seat on a United flight went viral.

The response has been enormous. Hashtags mocking United have been trending on Twitter, Redditors have been digging up old videos of people complaining about United, and talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel have weighed in on the fiasco.

People haven't entirely forgotten about Pepsi, though...

...And over the past 24 hours, many people have been making the same jokes.

Oh dear.
