| KLM: The ISIS of the sky? |
KLM sentiment they would larn far amongst the gays amongst their latest chip of social-media-driven viral marketing released on Twitter. This consisted of merely about spot belts inwards gay rainbow colours amongst the slogan:
"It doesn't affair who you lot click with. Happy #PrideAmsterdam."
But critics of the company's heavy-handed pro-gay message were quick to signal out the rattling obvious flaw. Let's encounter if you lot tin spot it:
Seat belts consist of 2 distinct parts. These are called the "tongue" (the "male connector") too the "buckle" (the "female connector"). KLM's vivid sentiment was to bring 3 dissimilar arrangements representing -- top to bottom -- lesbian women, gay men, too straight.
Yes, fifty-fifty the guild is equally progressive equally possible: women rank higher than men too gays rank higher than straights. That is non accidental.
Yes, fifty-fifty the guild is equally progressive equally possible: women rank higher than men too gays rank higher than straights. That is non accidental.
The solely employment amongst this is that solely 1 version of the spot belt would genuinely work, the 1 featuring 1 manly individual too 1 woman individual part. This, of course, is how spot belts inwards planes genuinely are, for rattling expert reasons.
If the airline companionship genuinely did away amongst this "sexist" spot belt arrangement, too instead introduced "gay" too "lesbian" spot belts too thence equally non to scandalise their gay too lesbian passengers, it would of class greatly cut down air safety. In the outcome of severe air turbulence or a crash landing, those amongst "straight" spot belts would live on a lot meliorate than the unfortunate gay too lesbian passengers, who would wing out of their seats too cease upwardly god knows where.

Is KLM calling for the buy the farm or severe injury of all their homosexual passengers? It sure as shooting looks similar it.
