Ryanad

Break out the morale police!
Ryanair has again made headlines (ie free advertisement time) with an add.
It concerns this one this time:

A calender being sold for charity in which some 13 crew members pose in their (rather 60s) undies is under fire.
Its being called sexist, there are complaints of "objectifying woman" and all that kind of stuff.

Eehhmmmm.... Turned on the TV lately? Try MTV or wel, wait for the first advertisement block.
Drive a car past the nearest billboard, or wait at a bus stop/train station etc.
Our society has objectified woman about 2000 years ago, and its showing no sign of undoing this soon.
In fact, the last 15 - 50 years (depending on the standard you use) has been characterised by a huge increase in the objectification (is that even a word?) of the fairer gender.

So lets all start complaining about a calender, which over the last 5 years has generated 500K pounds for charity, while we're bombarded with commercialised sexuality all day, in a society where much worse things happen.
What a narrow minded, sour and out of touch nonsense!
I bet the instigator of this protest (a Ryanair employee called Ghada) just is peeved that she didnt get selected to be on the calender. What a storm in a glass of water.

The girls themselves seem to be highly embarrassed by this calender, and, as the next picture shows, they dont support it at all...
Ok, I lied, they love it and support it:

Just to make that point, here are some more raunchy Ryanair ads ;-)

Please leave a comment if you like them!

And my favourite (sorry, I know its immature, but this one just really cracked me up ;-) )

Ps. If you want to petition against something, try looking into UN (ie China and Russia) sanctioned mass murder in Syria, Modern slavery in the UK, Hunger in great parts of the world, Torture of woman in Egypt, etc etc. I can type a list here as long as my arm without even breaking a sweat. And we're petitioning about a Charity Calender of Girls in their Undies...
