Ryanair battles ASA over 'saucy schoolgirl' ad

Bucket of cold water

Don't want to appear a prude, but for the record I would like to observed that it is not 'OK' to purve over children - which is what after all school girls are (and indeed what this advert suggests that this woman is). How would the executives of Ryanair like it if their 15yr old daughters were the subject of frenzied kleenex sessions by all and sundry? The point about this advert is that it is nothing at all to do with good looking women in short short skirts (which, for the record, is something I think should be encouraged) and is everything about the advert pandering to men's base instincts which are to s*ag anything in a dress regardless of their age. Maybe I am a bit old fashioned but I don't think it's something that should be encouraged. Apologies for stating the bleedin' obvious.
