Passengers are angry about being forced to fly on a new Southwest Airlines plane featuring a bikini-clad model, saying it is "soft porn" and is offensive to families.

Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, currently dating actor Leonardo DiCaprio, is pictured lying seductively in a revealing white bikini along the length of the Boeing 737 as part of a promotional deal with Sports Illustrated.

The latest addition to the US-based airline was unveiled this month and is deployed like other aircraft in the fleet, servicing all its routes.

A 757 at an adjacent gate was overheard saying “ I’d hit it.”

I guess for some people it’s the only way you can join the mile high club.

[Darkwolf377]

If you’re IN it, you don’t have to SEE it. When another plane flies past, just cover your faces so no one will recognize you.

Oh, and lighten up.

[CJ Wolf]

That plane can service my routes any day.

We have a president that is about to flush this country down the toilet, and people get their knickers in a knot over THIS????

For those men offended by the site of Refaeli’s hot body, Southwest is offering a plane painted with the likeness of George Michaels in a Speedo.

From an era when men were men, women were women and it was easy to tell the difference.

Or the same woman in a burkha.

Some people are so uptight and self-righteous I believe it would require a tractor to remove a toothpick from their a$$es.
