"airline with balls"

Last year I was through Juanda in Surabaya on a couple of Garuda flights. I was taken aback by the Air Asia advertising posters in the terminal which had a strap line "Air Asia - the airline with balls". I am led to believe that was an oblique reference to the football club QPR, in which the Air Asia CEO has an interest, but I was immediately put off by it and thankful I was on Garuda.


There has been chat on here about the culture of Asian airlines in general, but that strap line sounds a bit iffy to me and perhaps "just" an indication of attitude in management?
