Miss Ing The Point

Ireland's RyanAir makes a calender (with the proceeds going to charity!) featuring female members of their cabin crew in bikinis. The reaction?

The Institute for Women in Spain is considering legal action and intends to complain to Irish and EU authorities that the publication is sexist as it only features female models.

I can understand women not really appreciating the calender. You know, objectifying women and all that. But you can honestly get SUED for making a calender featuring sexy women?! I think this is taking the feminist thing a bit too far. And the litigation thing. The funniest thing about it is the Daily Mail's reporting of this story...with every picture in the calender there in the article. Hey, they know what sells. And it's Miss Runway, Miss Fuel Pump, and Miss Control Tower.
