WTF?

You Won’t Believe This Promo Video for a Vietnamese Airline

When I visited Vietnam a couple of years back, I found the people to be warm, friendly and very modest. Even in the stifling heat and humidity, the amount of flesh exposed by both sexes was less than what we see during a Canadian summer.

Then there’s VietJet Air, the country’s only privately-owned airline. It airline has been a massive success, capturing a full 30% of the country’s market share.The company is run by Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, who, as CEO has become the country’s richest woman with a net worth somewhere around $1.37 billion USD. She made her first million when she was just 21 by trading in latex rubber and fax machines. Now 45, she’s about to take VietJetAir public.

So what does any of this have to do with music? This:

This is not some weird promotional video. The flight attendants on VietJet Air really do dress like this.
