You're now free to wear a burka . . . .

Look, I've come to accept the fact that when you fly you're going to have your knees up under your chin and your elbows crammed into your ribs. That you won't get a fucking bite to eat, and that just barely anything to drink. That your luggage might make it into the same time zone as you during the week you actually arrive. And that everyone involved in the process on the airline's end acts like they're doing you a favor.

And the implicit social contract, at least with Southwest Airlines, is that in exchange for losing any sense of comfort or ease with flying, you get to pay less for your cattle-herding flight.

Fine.

But for Christ's sake, don't fuck with the eye-candy:





A flight attendant on a Southwest Airlines flight from San Diego to Tuscon forceably removed Kyla Ebbert from the flight just moments before take-off for wearing the outfit you see above. Only after Ebbert put up a fight was she "allowed" to board the plane.

Southwest explained its treatment of Ebbert in a letter to her mother, saying it could remove any passenger “whose clothing is lewd, obscene or patently offensive” to ensure the comfort of children and “adults with heightened sensitivities.”

Is there anything "lewd", "obscene" or "patently offensive" about that outfit? And what the fuck is that about "adults with heightened sensitivities"?!? Is that like a chemical-sensitivity where some secretary's heavy-handed body-lotion regime gives the office asthma? Are there guys out there who just involuntarily pop boners just because a young woman with a skirt above the knee is on the plane? And, if so, should they be the ones dick-tating the dress code?

Oh, and you know that stereotype that male flight attendants are all gay? Well the name of the flight attendant who went all Sharia on Ms. Ebbert: "Keith". I'm just saying . . .
