Simply Dumb

We here at Simply Dumb have been among the many avid internet users to notice Southwest’s policy of kicking passengers off flights that the on-board staff feel are inappropriately dressed. 

But just because you can’t get away with a skimpy tank-top and mini-skirt, doesn’t mean you can’t make it big in the adult magazine racket.  In fact, Kyla Ebbert, the 23-year-old college student who was almost bumped from a flight earlier this year is doing just that: she’s featured nude on Playboy’s website and perhaps even in the magazine.

Take that corporate puritanical masters of the air!  Somehow I don’t think Joe Winiecki, the master baiter, will follow suit. 

A 23-year-old college student who was told by a Southwest Airlines employee that her outfit was too revealing to fly is wearing even less on Playboy’s website.

Kyla Ebbert appears in a series of pictures – some in lingerie, some nude – under the heading, Legs in the Air.

"They’re very tastefully done," Ebbert said. "I don’t see anything wrong with the female body."

Playboy contacted Ebbert’s lawyer to pitch the idea of posing.

After "a little bit of talking" to convince her mother, Ebbert agreed. She said her boyfriend supported her decision, but "the most hesitant one was my dad."

On its website, Playboy says Ebbert "was too sexy for Southwest Airlines, but she’s perfect for Playboy."

A Southwest Airlines Co employee pulled Ebbert off a flight this northern summer and forced her to adjust her outfit of a tank top, sweater and miniskirt before getting back on the plane.

Ebbert ripped the airline in appearances on NBC’s The Today Show and The Dr Phil Show, during which she wore the outfit.

Southwest officials said they didn’t have a dress code but neither they wanted customers’ attire to offend other passengers.

Told of Ebbert’s spread on the Playboy website, a Southwest spokeswoman said: "We wish her all the best."
