Yes,
the Roger Clemens story might be bigger than these two fun bags, but I did
promise to blog about this story yesterday. So, it turns out; Southwest
Airlines finds themselves in hot water, once again! Last time, it was because
they told a woman that she needed to buy a second seat because she was too fat
to fit into one. This time, they were forced to apologize to a woman who was
told that she couldn't board her flight because
cleavage was allegedly
'inappropriate.' Who was she Pamela Anderson? The picture above is supposedly
of the woman in question, and I have to say that's not 'inappropriate'. It's
gross! Can you imagine those things shaking during some turbulence? Either way,
that's no reason to kick someone off of a plane. Besides, she probably would've
covered up with a blanket because the plane was too cold.
Anyway,
the woman, who wanted to be known by her first name Avital, was boarding a 6
a.m. flight from Las Vegas to New York back on June 5 when a ticketing agent
remarked that she couldn't fly unless she covered her breasts. She was dressed
in a comfortable cotton dress, a baggy flannel shirt, and a bright scarf.
Avital thought it was a joke, so she ignored the warning and boarded the plane
anyway. She stated, "The plane didn't fall out the sky...my cleavage did
not interfere with the plane's ability to function properly."
Avital
took to a travel blog slamming Southwest Airlines for what she called 'slut
slamming,' and said that a man on her flight was wearing a t-shirt with an
actual Trojan condom embedded behind a clear plastic on his chest, but he
wasn't hassled at all. To be honest, why should he be? He was promoting safe
sex. What she was promoting was sloppy big boobs! Or maybe she was promoting
Jell-O.....Think about that one!
Regardless,
Southwest Airlines issued an apology to Avital and offered her a full refund
for her troubles. A Southwest spokesperson said that company policy allows
agents to turn away passengers they deem dressed inappropriately. All boob jokes
aside, if I had to sit next to Avital, I probably would've found it distracting
too, but how hard was it to just button up the flannel shirt? And besides, who
goes out dressed like that not wanting attention? Well, if that's what she
wanted, she certainly got it and a free flight from Vegas to New York! It
doesn't seem like a dumb move after all!
