Reports are coming in from outraged viewers that Orbitz has edited the commercial above to remove the hovercraft man's comical flubbing of the name Hernandez in his attempt to pluralize it. "Ah, the Hernandez … es … es," he says awkwardly at the beginning of the spot. That may have been insensitive, as viewers report seeing a shocking new version on TV where the guy has no trouble with the name. (The joke remains in two versions of the spot, a :15 and a :30, on Orbitz's YouTube page.)
