A hot debate has surfaced in New Zealand after a Taranaki-based mother started a petition that should ban g-string swimwear from public pools. Amy Dixon claimed her family is frequently exposed to the type of swimwear worn by young women at the Todd Energy Aquatic Centre. The petition has hit the New Zealand media, and many organizations have taken humor from the situation. Air New Zealand has joined in, advertising an extra 41,000 extra seats to the Pacific this Southern Hemisphere summer.
