DID you crease up or cringe at the Thorne Travel YouTube video?

The Kilwinning travel agent’s ‘so bad it’s good’ promo film became a viral internet sensation last week sparking media coverage all round the world and as far away as Australia and New Zealand.

The video – now approaching one million hits – has given the company a massive 110 per cent boost in business and put North Ayrshire and Kilwinning on the map.

Christina Heywood from Thorne Travel said: “When we posted the video we never expected it to go crazy.

“We thought some customers and locals would see it but not the whole world.

“We’ve had calls from as far away as Chicago congratulating us on it.

“It’s boosted our bookings by 110 per cent which is just amazing!” Here’s what some people said about the ad on Twitter and Facebook: @scottreid1980: Right, I’m off down to Scotland’s entertainment capital - North Ayrshire @kevfallon: The death of #mickeymouse is a tear-jerker. Loving the expanded version of the Nolan sisters tho @LASaundersX: I’d never heard of Thorne Travel @richardbranson must be br***ing himself. Actual tears down my face.

@Peeks365: I have the music from that #thornetravel advert stuck in my head. Send help!

@MarkMcKenny1: Pure joy - needs to be seen, if only for the headless Mickey Mouse and failed dictator/ship captain
