Soutwest Airlines Bans Two Girls Who Are Too Pretty!
Southwest Airlines, responding to claims by two female passengers that they were discriminated against because of their good looks and banned from future flights, released a statement via YouTube disputing their story, adding that it doesn’t have the ability to selectively ban passengers, “even if we wanted to.”
“We would be out of business if we banned pretty people from Southwest Airlines,” spokeswoman Brandy King said. “The two passengers that are referenced in the media were using vulgar language, aggressive behavior, threatening gestures at 30,000 feet.”

“I think they were just discriminating against [us] because we were young decent-looking girls,” Williams told TampaBays10.com. “I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us. [The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.”
‘Too Pretty’ College Students Escorted From Flight
They were released about two hours after the plane landed, and no charges were filed.

Oh girls, don’t I know it!
You see gentle readers - all 12 of you - ASimpleSinner is so beautiful himself he dare not put his photo in his profile as as his avatar… The hate I feel as a pretty person day in and day out is almost too much to deal with. I get detained for hours after every flight I make because I am so gorgeous! Normal people (or as we beautiful people call you “normies”) never understand this personal hell.
I know this is a slight change of pace from my regular posting habits. I do make effort to keep all posts related to our Catholic faith in some fashion. When I saw this though, I just had to post it in solidarity with these two fellow beautiful people. Raising awareness about “beautiphobia” is very important to me. (Truly, it is a social justice issue.)
It had been my intent to write about the seven deadly sins today. For good measure, I will at least mention them. They are:
- Lust
- Gluttony
- Greed
- Sloth
- Wrath
- Envy
- and…..
Damn. What was the last one? I am just too beautiful to remember all these things!

I couldn’t stop laughing when I first saw this on the news.
Thyen I got really angry that the news media had once again wasted my time and I shut the TV off.

wait a minute… does that mean you got angry with PC, or did the humor salvage it from being time wasted?

I am curious to read your comments on the 7 Deadly Sins. I preached a series on them a couple of years ago at my former parish’s Vespers service in Lent. People were awfully squirmy…

-People were awfully squirmy…-
LOL! Imagine that! People squirming around when their preacher gives a sermon on sin!
Unfortunately, it’s been a while since I heard a sermon on sin. :-(

LP - I was being tongue-in-cheek on that one… The post was about such pride and vanity… The one deadly sin I was entirely too beautiful to remember like these two Miss America wannabees who actually seem to think that being vulgar and disruptive on a plane in flight didn’t cause them to be banned from SWA…
Being “too pretty” did!
