Air New Zealand has rolled out a radical solution to the problem of self-loading cargo paying no attention whatsoever to its pre-flight safety briefings: Staff sporting nothing more than body paint and strategically-placed lifejackets...

The vid forms part of the airline's Nothing to Hide (http://www.nothingtohide.co.nz/) campaign, which also features a similarly silly TV commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elD38pJX7iE), released in May.

Now that Air New Zealand has got its passengers' attention, we have no doubt Ryanair will feel obliged to run a similar campaign with Carla Bruni doing the honours dressed in transparent lace smalls (http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2009/06/30/sexy-shots-show-carla-bruni-claudia-schiffer-and-naomi-campbell-in-underwear-before-supermodel-stardom-115875-21483540/) (NSFW). ®
