Over at Harry’s Place there is a request for someone to take the pro-Qaradawi position and convince us that his visit to London was not bad for gays here.

CTV:

TORONTO Ontario nurses are incensed at Virgin Mobile Canada’s new ad campaign, saying its depiction of nurses in short skirts and stiletto heels is demeaning to their profession.

Virgin Mobile launched its Canadian mobile phone service this week with a publicity stunt by billionaire owner Sir Richard Branson.

The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario is demanding a public apology from Branson, founder of the U.K.-based Virgin Group. The 21,000-member association also wants the company to immediately cease its advertising campaign.

“If he (Branson) wants to aim for controversy, he needs to find a different target,’’ said Doris Grinspun, the association’s executive director.

No, it sounds like he found the right one.

I agree, it is in shockingly bad taste to present Ontario nurses as sex objects. This is because they are invariably 200+ pounds with all the personality of crabapples. So begone with your filthy stereotypes, Branson!

Doris Grinspun. The name just screams “party girl,” doesn’t it?
