Plane Crazy: Sexy Spirit Airlines oil disaster ad sparks outrage




A NEW airline ad featuring scantily clad women has been slammed for poking fun at the BP oil disaster.

A series of photos featuring oil-drenched women in bikinis appears on the Spirit Airlines’ website with the slogan: "Check Out The Oil On Our Beaches."

The women are accompanied by a green-and-yellow bottle of "Best Protection" 50 SPF sunscreen, with the B and P highlighted to stand out.

The ads are promoting a $50 ($A57) discount on travel to the carrier's coastal destinations: Cancun; Mexico; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Atlantic City.
