Richard Branson won't ditch his bikini babes
And he gets in a good zinger as a reply to an embittered feminist:
"Sir Richard Branson has defended his penchant for posing with and using scantily clad women in promoting his Virgin Group, saying it's what keeps him in the news.
Responding to a column last week by The Advertiser's Amber Petty, which attacked Virgin's overtly sexual advertising, Sir Richard said using attractive women to sell products was an age-old practice. "The problem, I believe, with her argument is that if the next time I promote a product I line up with three male models the photo won't get into your paper and the new business won't get talked about," he wrote to The Advertiser in response to the article.
Petty also wrote that Sir Richard was "about as sexy as a pair of those socks you get on international flights" and questioned whether he was too old to be the face of the brand. "As to being an 'old man', yes I am approaching 60, but using someone's age to attack them is perhaps as bad as accusing someone of sexism," Sir Richard wrote in his response.

Maybe if he had used bull dykes she would have pleased with the ad.
Amber Petty?
Sounds like a perfect name for her.
And as I tell many like her, suck it up and deal with.
The guy knows he's not sexy, that's why he has young girls!
Richard Branson is one of the coolest businessmen in the world, whoever said he was "too old" to be the face of the brand suffers not only from ageism but a lack of common sense.
Someone in the comments section of the cited article made note of this:

Obviously Petty doesn't believe what she writes.
If a religion can advertise 72 Virgins, why can't Branson use 6?
mcnasty hit the nail on the head!
"If a religion can advertise 72 Virgins, why can't Branson use 6?"Cause anon,
There aren't 6 virgins in all of the UK.
And that encludes sheep!
That was a bit nasty about British sheep
But New Zealand sheep on the other hand ...
Sounds like the FemiNazi's are still with us.
It's not exploitation if those women freely choose to display their scantily clad bodies. I've got better things to do than be a self-righteous Feminist Lefty do-gooder!
However if a man were to treat me like a piece of meat he better expect a black-eye and a swift kick in the crotch!
