Raunchy airline ad pulled, 'insults women'



We read:

"Spanish airline Iberia has pulled a cartoon video ad that depicts a baby boy frolicking on a beach with big-breasted black Cuban women after complaints it insulted women and encouraged sexual tourism.

The two women, with huge lips and tiny, tight shorts on broad hips - massage and pamper the white Spanish infant after he arrives in Havana on a free trip from Iberia.

At one point, lounging at a seaside bar, he sings "Come on honey, take me to the crib", the Associated Press reported.

It rather escapes me why it was a cause for complaint that the women were busty. Perhaps it takes a Leftist to see why that is offensive. And I cannot see that the women depicted were busty anyhow. I suspect that the women being brown with large lips while the baby was white was the only cause of the "problem" -- which would seem to make the protest "racist" -- why should skin-color matter?

You can see the original ad via the link above.
