Air New Zealand pulls 'Fares lower than grandma's boobs' ad

An Air New Zealand ad offering fares "lower than grandma's boobs" has been pulled after a campaign by outraged locals. The billboard, advertising Air New Zealand's cheap seat website Grabaseat, appeared in Nelson, New Zealand.

Local Jacquetta Bell deemed the slogan "sexist" and "offensive" and started an email campaign against the website. Grabaseat manager Duane Perrott said the slogan had come from a competition winner in Wellington, whose grandmother lives in Nelson.

"What this person thought was funny, as did many others, clearly didn't resonate with some individuals today, and Grabaseat will be removing the billboard shortly," Mr Perrott said. "We apologise if any offence was caused."

Ms Bell said she was pleased the billboard was going to be pulled and that older women had sent Air New Zealand a strong message. "The overwhelming message was they (Grabaseat) wouldn't say the same thing for men; like 'Fares as low as your granddad's willy'. They didn't think older women were important," Ms Bell said.

Blizzard fills family's home with snow

No one really enjoys shovelling snow out of their driveway and sidewalk. But how about shovelling about five inches from the inside of a house? The home of a couple in Newell, Iowa got filled with snow while they were out of town. But some generous family members cleaned up the mess for them.

"We were out of town just for the weekend visiting our daughter in Chicago and her family and my husband had asked Jim, his brother, to check, make sure the furnace is running and see how the dog was we had left him in the garage," said Betty Ehlers. Strong blizzard winds pushed the door open, letting all kinds of snow make its way inside their house.

While Steve and Betty Ehlers drove back to their home near Newell, Iowa, Jim Ehlers and his wife spent the morning cleaning up the mess, which made its way into cupboards and closets, under doors and in drawers. When they got home, Jim and his wife had all the snow out of the house. The next day they saw the pictures.

Luckily, the damage done by mother nature is minimal, but they say it could have been worse. The couple says surprisingly they only have to replace a kitchen faucet and the flooring in the kitchen and hallway.
