The M.I.L.F. Sale Sequel

Looks like Spirit Airlines is back at it again, as seen on The Consumerist.

Sex Tourism In Thailand

A reader, Kate K., drew our attention to this 32-minute documentary about sex tourism in Thailand. The entire video is quite interesting! If you scroll over to the 18 minute mark, you can hear the men and the women explain that European men like Thai women specifically because they, unlike European women, submit (my words, not theirs).



If you have any trouble with the embed, here is the documentary on google video.

Thanks so much, Kate!

There Are No Business Travelers, Only Male And Female Business Travelers

Chris M. noticed something bizarre on the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) website.

If you scroll about 1/4th of the way down this page, there is a list of pdfs and videos about security on airplanes. There are separate videos for the female and the male "business traveler." They both show liquids in a plastic bag, but apparently only men carry laptops and women are relieved from having to take off their shoes.

Chris thought it was especially interesting to see this on a .gov site. Nice find Chris!

1965 and 1968 American Airlines Ads: Objectifying Stewardesses

The text:

"Please keep stealing our stewardesses. Within two years most of our stewardesses will leave us for other men. This isn't surprising. A girl who can smile for 5 1/2 hours is hard to find. Not to mention a wife who can remember what 124 people want for dinner. (And tell you all about meteorology and jets, if that's what you're looking for in a woman.) But these are not the things that brought on our problem. It's the kind of girl we hire. Being beautiful just isn't enough. (We don't mean it isn't important. We just mean it isn't enough.) So if there's one thing we look for, it's girls who like people. And you can't do that and then tell them not to like people too much. All you can do is put a new wing on your stewardess college to keep up with the demand."

Dorotha found this here.


NEW: Copyranter put up another vintage airline ad. This one, from 1968, positions the stewardess as your mother instead of your kidnapped bride... although she doesn't look very motherly to me:

The text reads:

Think of her as your mother.
She only wants what’s best for you.
A cool drink. A good dinner. A soft pillow and a warm blanket.
This is not just maternal instinct. It’s the result of the longest Stewardess training in the industry.
Training in service, not just a beauty course.
Service, after all, is what makes professional travelers prefer American.
And makes new travelers want to keep on flying with us.
Se we see that every passenger gets the same professional
treatment.
That’s the American Way

Fly the American Way
