Hey this is like tipping the maitre d' to get a good seat in the restaurant. If I slip the Ops Agent a $20, can I sit up front with the pilots?

The ads this year did seem pretty lame. After half-time, I caught myself thinking, "Hey, when are they going to air the funny commercials?" I wish SWA would go back to airing those "Must Be Football Season" ad campaign.

if you look at the screenshot of the booking, you'd notice that they did *indeed* have a discount fair on their return leg of their trip. So the claim that they weren't offered a discount ticket is a LIE!

Since the others have provided credible answers to #1 & #3, I'll take a stab at #2.
It appears to be the speaker mounted overhead in the main cabin, beneath the overhead compartments. These speakers are how the PA announcements are heard through the cabin. The hint is that on the sides of the photo, you can make out what appear to be the oxygen masks (2 on each side).

One of my favorites of all time was after a hard landing:
"Sorry folks for the hard landing.
It wasn't the captain's fault.
It wasn't the first officer's fault.

It was the ASPHAULT!"
