Who wants to tell marketing?
 
That sends mixed messages. Do they want OIL on the beaches of FLL? If they do then, why would that bring tourists and why would they want to fly on their airplanes, especially after the latest stunt by management?
 
This is part of Spirit's marketing. Check out a few of their offensive ones....

2009:

"SPIRIT AIRLINES SAYS- GO MUFF DIVING!

Targeting: Spirit Airlines (Corporate Communications, Spirit Airlines)
Started by: Sarah Menkedick

Spirit Airlines' latest ad campaign encourages travelers to go MUFF Diving. According to Spirit, MUFF refers to "Many Unbelievably Fantastic Fares:" an assertion that only adds the insult of playing dumb to the injury of an offensive and demeaning ad campaign.

Apparently, for Spirit Airlines women are little more than sex objects and the punch lines of crass jokes. Last year, the airline ran ads for MILF ("Mother I'd Like To " or "Many Islands Low Fares") deals, which caused a backlash among the understandably irate cabin crews forced to act as representations of this degrading publicity. Flight attendents needed to go to their unions to ask the airline to pull ads encouraging passengers to take advantage of DD's (deep discounts, of course).

These ads are a new and intolerable low in advertising. Spirit needs to be told that women will not accept this blatantly misogynist and demoralizing campaign which relies on crude slang for women's bodies and sexual parts as a way to attract business. Spirit also needs to know that the public has no interest in flying on an airline that sexually exploits its workers and continually places them in stressful and uncomfortable situations.

Not that I disagree w/ what you're saying. However, don't you find it a bit ironic or hypocritical that your avatar is an incredibly hot woman who is scantily clad?

Don't get me wrong, I like your avatar and I love scantily clad women....especially when they're around me. Obviously, the women in your avatar is a model, and marketing people exploit these models, both male and female, as 'sex objects.' Let's face it, we're all animals, we love sex, and sex sells. Plain and simple.

My point is, I just find it funny you're posting about the exploitation of women, when it could be considered that's what you're doing w/ the picture.

Did that make sense? :)

Can't say I disagree, however I'm not profiting off of the exploration of gods greatest creation.
 
I guess Spirit doesn't think women purchase airline tix. What's with all the female bodies? Could they have at least thrown in a male one, just for good measure. Sheesh.
