Can We Say "HYPOCRITE?"

A friend pointed out this very ironic situation to me yesterday.....

You may or may not remember this amusing story: in September 2007, a flight attendant on a Southewest Airlines flight decided to inform a 23-year-old college student that her outfit was inappropriate. The girl was almost kicked off her flight. Her attire may have been a bit trashy, a bit small, but I didn't know flight attendants were also paid be the fashion police. Here's the girl on a TODAY show appearance (oh yes, she made the press rounds)...




Southwest issued a public apology and even offered special "mini-skirt fares" in an effort to save their reputation.


But what, exactly, are they trying to do for their reputation by plastering a bikini-clad Bar Rafaeli, this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue covergirl, on one of their planes? It gets even better - the plane has been named the"S. I. One". This is almost too ridiculous for words, so I leave you with the first ever flying model:
