Airline’s schoolgirl ad doesn’t fly in U.K.

We’re not sure who in this British ad scuffle is more ridiculous: the people who made Ryanair’s “schoolgirl” ad, or the people who banned it. The U.K.’s Advertising Standards Authority (which banned it) disapproved of the model’s plaid skirt/ white blouse combo and classroom backdrop, which “strongly suggested she was a schoolgirl.” Analysis like that is why they’re the experts. The airline, meanwhile, doesn’t come off much better. They counterargued that the model’s attire was “fashionable among young women,” not just students.
