Too pretty to fly?

After reading this pathetic article on two 18 year olds I felt is was completely necessary to blog about it. I’m sure everyone has heard the phrase “beauty is only skin deep”, which suggests to us to focus on being smart and nice. It kind of sends a mixed message but it certainly does not mean just stand there look pretty and if things do not go your way then stamp your feet and sulk till you get it. These two eighteen year old girls were flying to Tampa bay and got escorted off the plane. They were rude and obnoxious to the stewardess.. They asked for water and I guess it took too long according to them, to they considered it a “dissed”. Then one of them needed to use the bathroom but it had been occupied. So she felt she needed to bang on the bathroom door till the women opened it and then proceeded to yell. The police were called in to meet the flight in Los Angeles because “the girls were verbally abusive to another customer ... using profanities ... and getting in his face.” Well here comes the great part of the story. The two girls of course had a different take on the story! The felt the were being discriminated against based on their looks. “I think they were just discriminating against [us] because we were young, decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us — except us.” How pathetic is that! No offense girls I saw their picture and they were not that cute. News flash for these to sad teenagers, get a clue! There not “too pretty to fly” just too rude and obnoxious.
