Sweden's Reklamombudsman (Advertising Standards Agency) said they received 33 complaints about Ryanair's charity calendar featuring scantly clothed cabin crew.

Elisabeth Trotzig, the Advertising Ombudsman, told The Local: "People think the advertisment is sexist and that it doesn't belong on a website meant to sell plane tickets."

Ms Trotzig gave Ryanair two weeks to respond to the complaint.

Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said: "Ryanair's cabin crew calendar has raised €500,000 ($672,000) for charity in just five years and we will continue to support the right of our crew to take their clothes off to raise money for those who need it most."

Ryanair claims the 2012 Ryanair Cabin Crew Charity Calendar, featuring 13 cabin crew stunners in swimwear and lingerie, is "the sexiest ever".

What do you say: Are you shocked? Do you think the calendar is sexist? Do you think the girls in the calendar are actual cabin crew or models?
