| 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. Photos here. |

| #15 Perhaps they are trying to show the numbers 737 are sacred. |

| #12 Will this keep fundamentalist Muslims off the plane? Or make them blow it up? |

| #11 Wonder how many 'insulted' passengers decline their Southwest seat and took another airline to their destination? /rhetorical question There's a reason you fly Southwest. They don't compete with the other airlines, they compete with the bus company. |

| #10 M. Murcek, I take it you've never been to the Redneck Riveria. |

| #9 Apparently these people never go to the beach. Sure they do. They go down to the redneck riviera in their bass boat and look at their ugly wives' beer guts hanging out over tops of their spandex shorts and leer at their daughters' skimpily clad teeny bopper school friends. Then they vote for huckabee, and all the rest of us lose... |

| #7 I wonder if this would be an issue with the usual supects if she was not Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli and rather a supermodel of colour. |

| #5 If people are upset by a painting, but the advertising company wants the campaign to continue, why not look for a better way, and take the high ground? I say, glue that gal to the nose of the plane! Problem solved. |

| #4 If I were a passenger, I'd be angry too! I'd want her painted on the inside of the fuselage, so I can enjoy the scenery for the entire flight. |

| #3 Yeah. I'm gonna need bigger, higher resolution photos before I can issue any fatwas. |

| #2 Those tiny little photos are a dire insult to my . . . . . religion. They should be MUCH BIGGER. Then my religion will not be so insulted. |
