Tattoo too much (Aussie censorship)

A MUM says she was made to feel "like a leper" when flight attendants forced her to cover up a sexually explicit tattoo.
Peta Bull, 36, of Mackay, has written to Jetstar after the incident on a Mackay-Brisbane flight last month. "I was embarrassed and belittled. I can't believe they singled me out."
A Jetstar spokesman yesterday said the airline had a duty of care to protect passengers from offensive material.
"Normally we just ask that they take it out of view of other passengers . . . it's basically a standard procedure that we have," the spokeman said.

And wasn't that country's (oops, then still a colony) first locally elected leader with a famous Scottish name, and just a little bit different from the name of a famed American fast food chain?

I think you might be right there. When Jetstar launches its international service, perhaps it should consider holiday tours to that part of the world.

Well, it took a bit of looking but I found it down on the national page.

Consider this. Whatever is under the straps even the photographer thought it should be covered.

That tatoo didn't grow there by accident. If she doesn't like the response to her pornography, tough beans; let her feel like a leper. She obviously doesn't care about others feeling for being so arrogantly in-your-face with something she knows is offensive to most people; I don't care about hers. She's just a troublemaker.

"I can't believe they singled me out."
Like they let all the other passangers with pornographic tatoos leave theirs exposed.

There's decency.
There's common decency.
Then, there's just plain common.

That's what I thought: Maybe she consider that she IS a "leper"--albeit, a self-imposed leper.

This chickadee singled herSELF out. Wasn't that her point in engraving herself with a slutty picture?

You know, you really should tattoo porn on your body in a visible place.
