In full over-the-top Virgin style Sir Richard Branson, a man who is so obviously not a virgin, announced the launch of Virgin Cruises (again, technically. The first announcement was in December) by helicoptering into Museum Park with probably-also-not-virgin arm candy for a press conference. It went down in full view of PortMiami, the cruise line's future main hub, and the Miami Heat's arena, owned by his cruise competitor, Carnival Cruise Line owner Micky Arison. Oh, and he cut off the Mayor's tie with a pair of scissors. [New Times]
