Airline Ad Angers With Naked Flight Attendants
Ryan Boyd August 08, 2017
Chocotravel, a Kazakh budget carrier, is receiving criticism for advertisements featuring naked flight attendants blowing kisses at the camera and simulating orgasmic facial expressions due to Chocotravel’s low, low prices. The carrier has been taken to task on social media, with one user saying, “This is a failure, guys. You should ban it and make another video of people who created this ad in the same naked manner, making an apology.”
Further research has confirmed that the current year is 2017 and not an alternate timeline in which shag carpet, quaaludes and casual sexism in airline advertisements are considered topical.

From the original article "It hasn't gone down well with all social media users, with some accusing the company of sexism." Sexism is alive and well in the travel industry (just like it is everywhere else) but do you hear complaints about most of the airlines in the world (especially those in Korea, China, Japan etc) only hiring the best looking hot babes for their flight attendants? No, of course you don't. Why is everyone so oblivious to the fact that there is unwritten policy in almost each and every HR department to refuse the 'ugly' applicants. Take Singapore Air for example. Almost every single female FA could find work as a model but nobody labels them as 'sexist'. It's because, afterall is said and done, some sexism is OK. Talk about double standards.....
Okay so some ad agency paid to hire two models to pose naked no news there and they got everyone's attention with controversy so even if you don't like the ad you're talking about it. Seems to me like they did a good job. As for the two models. I'm sure they will now get plenty of work. Maybe we should be more upset about people running around with guns than we are about people running around without clothes. Naked people have no place to hide a weapon.
I don't know if these women were forced to be in the video, but no one is forced to watch it.
