It seems I'm not alone with thinking that the age discrimination case against Virgin Blue is a little bit deserving of a Ma Sheela style "tough titties" retort. (See Ageism is old news)
ShannonSays is clear that the market has an image of Virgin and its staff, and that the company needs to meet those expectations. See Too old to work at Virgin Blue? Get over it.
And they are having some fun with the issue over at Campong Corner.
Personally, I'd like to see a 55 year old woman try claiming discrimination when she is denied an interview for a job as a topless barmaid at a misnamed "gentleman's club" :-)
It is all a bit silly really ... but then, so is this spat from feministing.com. (I'm not going to comment on the name of the site - but I'm laughing along with gay men all around the world!)
