Sex sells. Controversy pays. All this hype must be saving O'Leary a fortune in advertising. But then, in an age where a new theology of political correctness has replaced institutionalised religion, their dogma is eminently exploitable. When will such Departments of Political Correctness ever cop on?

Back around 1973, Eastern Airlines received flack over their "Fly Me" ads. At the time, I thought that feminists were making a mountain out of a molehill. Anything with sex appeal, they found offensive. Some still do, but in the Eastern commercials, I now see a valid point. Those ads & commercials lead guys to believe that the flight attendants will be "fringe benefits", on a flight. Some were slapped on the behind, groped, and asked for sex: things which would be considered sexual harassment today. Sex appeal is NOT wrong, but presenting it in a "come on" nature is. BTW, I never see asking a girl out as "hitting on her". Some women get paranoid whenever they are politely asked, if the guy in question is not their "rich stud". Propositioning a lady for sex is another matter, and should be avoided..

Well, it is dangerous as it puts you in a trance and you wake up with 4 Ryanair tickets.
