Blond Woman Island

AOL Travel News:

An island in one of the prettiest places on earth may soon be run entirely by blondes. A Lithuanian company says it plans to open an island resort in the Maldives and market it as place where blonds do have more fun, sort of.

The company, Olialia (pronounced "ooh-la-la), wants its vacation resort to have only blond staff. And it wants to bring visitors to the island on flights entirely crewed by blonds as well, reports the BBC. And yes, that includes the pilots.

The firm is already a blond-run and staffed enterprise, which operates in "75 different business sectors, making products from computer software and food products to pop music," the BBC says. The company's products are advertised using images of sexy blond women.

Creating their own little Aryan nation are they? Are employees also encouraged to marry and breed for the good of the fatherland?

Wasn't it Nero, or maybe Caligula, that initiated such meaningless frivolity?

Natural blondes only? Or will peroxide get you a job at the resort? Sounds like an episode of Fantasy Island. Didn't this sort of thing end in, oh, about 1980?

Frankly, Pukiene's saying "our girls are smart" reinforces the sterotype. (...and hiring women based on hair color is de facto discriminatory...asserting otherwise further reiinforces the stereotype.)

So a blond came up with this idea? Nothing to reinforce the stereotype here.

I think the reasoning must be that because the Maldives will be underwater by 2015, blonds have extra ballast, given the extra air in the head.

Not surprising that something this shallow is reported by AOL. Meg Whitman and AOL need to give up the ghost and stroll off together into the sunset.
