Christy Clark receives creepy kite surfing invite from Richard Branson

Virgin Atlantic Founder Richard Branson was in Vancouver last week to launch his airline's Vancouver to London service.

It seems he's 'taken a fancy' to B.C. premier Christy Clark.

Branson wrote a blog post Monday asking Clark to go kite surfing with him. Interestingly, the blog includes a picture a topless woman on Branson's back.

Here's the blog post:

When in British Columbia a few days ago, the delightful Premier Christy Clark accepted my invite to come for a kitesurf ride on my back.

One thing though - I forgot to tell her about the dress code! Well, here it is.

The offer still stands Christy!

24 Hours Vancouver notes the post is in response to Clark telling the British billionaire about B.C.'s beautiful kite surfing waters.

But Clark's office was not at all pleased with Branson's musings.

"Obviously Branson's brashness knows no limits. Or taste for that matter," Sara McIntyre, told the Vancouver Province.

The post was also met with mixed reaction on Twitter with some calling Branson a sexist.

Mark Marissen, Clark's ex-husband tweeted "Richard Branson proves he's creepier than David Schreck."

(Schrek is the former NDP MP who criticized the Premier's choice of outfit last Fall, claiming she was showing too much cleavage.)
