Quote: "And get down to a psychiatrist quickly, because if a small flash of belly skin is putting you over the edge of the PRUDE cliff then you are probably a neurotic or possibly even a psychopath." Ernest, you honestly think this whole thing is about BELLY SKIN?! Are you kidding? The issue is a little further south than that... think "men would be arrested for doing this at a playground" and maybe the light will start to dawn on you... ... View more

Add me to the "boggled" crowd... it boggles my mind that so many people think it's perfectly acceptable to flash your cooter in public. I guess I really AM out of touch -- I will happily go on record saying that I DO NOT THINK IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO FLASH YOUR COOTER IN PUBLIC. There. I said it. I happily accept the "prude" label that will now be slapped on me by every single one of the "I see nothing wrong with her outfit" group. THE THING THAT WAS WRONG WITH HER OUTFIT IS THAT SHE FLASHED HER COOTER. (Which part of that is so hard to understand?). It's not that her tank top was tight; it's not that her sweater was revealing; it's not even that her skirt was short; IT'S THAT SHE FLASHED. A performance she repeated on national television, let's not forget, although she had added panties by that point. Fortunately, though, I think the law is on my side. Turns out, it IS illegal to flash your cooter in public! Who knew! Well, "I" knew... but an astounding number of people posting on this blog did not. News for them, I guess. And to all the people saying "those seats are so close together there's no way anyone could see up her skirt" -- I ask: do you think she was teleported onto the plane? Do you not think she walked down the aisle to get to her seat? Do you not realize her naked crotch and buttocks (let's face it -- if she had been wearing panties on that plane, she would have said so in the interview) was at eye level to every seated passenger? (Again, what part of this is so hard to understand?) ... View more

Legitimate question to the people who feel the girl's outfit was not obscene: how far would an outfit have to go before you DID consider it obscene? If having your hoo-ha visible does not count as obscene, what does? ... View more

The only things I find amazing about this incident are: 1) The incredible number of people who need "a dress code" or "a formal policy" to tell them that flashing your hoo-ha in public is inappropriate. (Really? You need an articulated policy to tell you that? And you really can't distinguish between a burka and a Sharon Stone flash? That's the limit of your thinking? You can't envision any middle-of-the-road between the two? It's either the Taliban or you dress like a hooker after a hard night?) If that girl is 5'5", that skirt is no more than 6 inches long. Get out a ruler folks, and hold it up to yourself -- see just how "long" that skirt really is. If you still think that's "appropriate" to wear on a public airline, then read on: 2) The incredible number of people, male and female, on this blog who are clearly advocating for clothing optional airline service. Apparently there are so many of you who don't want to be forced by a -- what was it someone said upthread? A Nazi attitude? -- to wear ANY clothing at all, that Southwest or some other airline should look into providing clothing optional flights. Then all of the "I'll never fly Southwest again!" crowd can all get naked together and fly to their hearts' content. Hygiene-schmygiene! Kudos to Southwest. You don't need a formal policy to know the girl was dressed inappropriately. You did exactly the right thing. It's too bad for the girl that Child Protective Services didn't pull her away years ago from the mother who is obviously bent on pimping her own daughter. THAT is what is truly apalling about this whole thing. ... View more
