Wanna see some geishas? Fly Air France, apparently.

For the record, this is not a good way to get me to fly your airline.



I think I've generally trained my eyes to ignore the paid content that gets inserted on to my Facebook... but I couldn't help but do a double take when I spotted this craptastic ad for Air France.

Yes, I love seeing pointless cultural drag used to hock air travel. The ad, part of Air France's "France is in the Air" campaign, employs the usual geisha imagery with a white model rocking some yellowface for that Orientalist zing!




No, thanks. For the record, this -- whatever it is -- is not the way to get me to fly your airline.
