Southwest Airlines: Hypocrisy at its finest
It is very difficult for me to believe that a company who advertised HOTPANTS on hostesses as a major selling point in 1972...
would kick a woman off a flight in 2007 for wearing a tank top and miniskirt. Being from California, I fly Southwest on a frequent basis. I myself have worn things far more exposed than that and seen far worse than this poor girl. I wasn't aware that tank tops and miniskirts were "lewd" or potentially offensive to "adults with hightened sensibilities".
Was there a Mormon on this flight or something?
It is insanely hypocritical to advertise hotpants in 1972 and kick a woman off for wearing a skirt that was probably longer than the hotpants in 2007. Just stating the obvious.
