That's a very cool ad ...So what's wrong with use of "sexism" in commercial advertising? It's been used ever since paper was invented

Exactly.

I find it funny how they didn't mention the woman trying on sunglasses oogling the pilot, but the only "sexism" they saw was the men oogling the women. Give me a break.

I will say though, I've flown Virgin from JFK to Heathrow, and all the flight staff were young (under 30) and very attractive (both male and female.) That is in stark contrast to Delta, where I think they are all at least 65.....

Are you fucking kidding? That was considered controversial? So much for freedom of speech. It didn't demoralize anyone. Any spoofs yet with fat chicks?
