According to ABC News, Kyla Ebbert, the pantie-flashing patriot who was harassed by Southwest airlines has found a new best friend, Richard Branson.
Branson says Kyla is welcome to fly on his airline in whatever stages of undress she likes. Hooray, Capitalism.

His airline? I thought he convinced the FAA that it was an American owned airline?
Still cool to see someone have a PR laugh at Southwest’s expense. They used to be cool too.
Meh. Butterface. Does anyone care about this chick anymore?
@ Demonradio: She has a face? I never noticed…
Branson just wants to tap that. A real story would be if he invited that guy who was kicked off for the ‘Master bater’ shirt.
…well, anything to get people’s attention on Virgin America and away from the big airlines. I wonder if more people will take Virgin compared to say… ATA?
Is it normal that article includes something about a train in the end?
@demonradio:
You’re out of her mind, she’s very attractive.

Shes as much an attention whore as the clothes she wears. I just honestly don’t care about her whining and the purely stupid amount of media attention shes gotten simply because southwest screwed up and told Ms. Horseface that she was wearing skanky clothes.
Does anyone else find the humor in any story where this woman is mentioned in the same breath as the word “virgin”?
Anyone? Bueller?
@Jaysyn: She sure seems to want to take your attention away from her face in that pic… She might be photogenic, but I agree with demonradio, definitely butterface.
@mandarin: that article was definitely missing a segue haha
Why doesn’t the article mention anything about him being in a priest outfit? Whats with that?
@Jaysyn: Check out her old myspace. [72.14.209.104]

Awesome. Branson cracks me up. He takes every opportunity to differentiate his airline (and other products) from the mainstream, and I think it definitely helps them stand out.
god bless america
I still don’t think she was that humiliated if she keeps trying to put herself in the media spotlight.
there. thats her 15 minutes. now she can die happy.
Wonderful. Plz move on now.
@Jaysyn: LOL yeah right. She’s got a face that would make a train take a dirt road.
Richard Branson: Another day, another step closer to becoming Thomas Crown.
@pinkbunnyslippers: Aw man! You beat me to it.
It’ll be the first time in a long time that she’s probably been associated with the word “virgin.” heh
Richard Branson is the man. Lol.
I Love Richard Branson! He totally looks like a caveman/Neanderthal.
I didn’t find this in the article, but am I correct in assuming the lovely lady is getting free air fare on Virgin America?
If so, Sir Richard Branson’s being a genius.
Skankasaurus Rex
God bless the internets.
@pinkbunnyslippers: I thought that was the entire point of this PR stunt… am I the only one that noticed that Branson is in a Priest’s outfit with a collar and cross????
Branson is the business model that airlines, record labels, and pretty much anyone in the business of business may want to learn from. He comes off as being, all around, a genuinely nice person, which is not the characteristic that most people would apply to billionaires. Would Bill Gates pick up Kyla Ebbert? Well, a) it’d be kind of creepy, 2) I don’t think he has the strength and 3) He’d probably just start a fund for the fashionably challenged.
Richard Branson comes off as a guy that you could sit around and kick back with, you know, on his private island. Plus, as a billionaire goes, he really is getting closer to being Thomas Crown, as PlayWithSlurry mentioned.
Wow you are all over bran’s nuts MISSJ, how about when he threw water on Stephen Colbert for not talking about his airline enough; that wasn’t very down to earth.
ugh. dear world, please stop giving this skank any more attention. kthxbye
@pyloff: yeah that was awesome, and in a joking fashion it seemed though, as colbert “fought back”
