Good man Michael. More free advertising. "The fools, the fools etc"
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?
Backward official Ireland again afraid of a a womans body.
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.
