Not even budget Irish airlines need to take Sweden’s Trade Ethical Council against Sexism in Advertising seriously.

To begin with, the latter organization hasn’t even bothered to construct a web page in English.

The Swedish AMC/Rambler Society probably exercises a greater deal of influence over Swedish business life (and life on Earth in general) than Sweden’s Trade Ethical Council against Sexism in Advertising:

There's the old joke... have you seen a naked Swedish babe? Answer: I know them all - and they look gorgeous!

We may need to see some visual evidence before we decide this issue.

Uh... Swedish porn? I think you have to upgrade the evidence. This is a family friendly forum! (laughing)

“The statement proclaimed further that “Ryanair defends the right of Swedish girls to take their clothes off.””

Another reason to love them! I flew them from Dublin to Paris for ten euro a few years back. No frills but man are they cheap.

I am amazed that this is an issue in Western Europe’s almost anything goes on TV. I guess American PC is catching on in Europe — or is it the religious views of Muslims that are causing complaints?

They do have half naked women in European commercials. I was shocked the first time I saw one. They have standards here. You can't show full sex to sell something in America - at least not on mainstream or standard cable TV.

Thats IT? Highschool cheerleaders won’t be caught dead with all that extra clothing...my mind had conjured up entirely different images(which I dare not post).
