Don't like Ryanair anyway, so pleased to see that it's got banned for this

Interesting prospect, though, if ASA's going to start banning ads because 'the appearance, stance and gaze of the women…were likely to be seen as sexually suggestive'. Doesn't this cover about 30% of all advertising?

So pleased its banned, they should also ban those sexist Virgin airlines adverts too, can't stand them!

Urgh, you mean the cartoonised air stewardess ones?

What is it about bloody ad execs and incredibly lame depictions of air stewardesses, anyway

What is ParentPort? Is it a new topic to complain about things to do with air travel?

Um blush

It's for complaining about ads I think <points to explanation up there ^^>

I think moaning about air travel is optional, but frankly that's no reason not to join in

I haven't seen the Ryanair one but think they should ban the Virgin one. I find it quite demeaning to women

Glad that was banned! Talk about dated and inappropriate!
