Thai low-cost carrier Nok Air has released a sexy calendar featuring models from Maxim magazine.

 

But not everyone in Thailand is comfortable seeing the female form displayed in such a fashion.

 

According to Thai media, the Ministry of Culture's Permanent Secretary, Prisana Pongtatpitakkul, says the calendar demonstrates that some businesses refuse to stop using women's bodies as a marketing tool.

 

"They lack the sense of social and cultural responsibility and ignore social and cultural repercussions -- particularly female dignity," she was quoted by The Nation.

 

The calendar, issued as part of an online promotion, features models in different outfits posing around Nok Air planes, including a shot with 12 women in yellow bikinis -- the airline's signature color.

I see Michael has wisely decided not to upload any of Nok Air's calendar girls!

 

As some of our readers and members are keen on planes, how about this instead?

OK, I know "NOK" means "bird" - so why is Kermit the frog on the tailfin - and looking exceptionally jaundiced into the bargain ?

possibly Kermit became flying frog

Something tells me Kermit has an inflated view of himself . . .
