Best advert for Daddio ever, since now I'm aware of it and previously I was not.
What a glorious display of direct democracy.
Pretending that eyelids don’t exist…
Or blankets. Or coats. Just cover the screen.
What if the plane stop if you cover the screen and will only resume flying if you watch the movie
Please drink verification can
There were kids on the flight.
There are kids on most flights.
And most flights do not play sexually explicit content on the screens.
Oh no, some kid might see tits.
You know, those things "designed" to feed them.
Hey, you know how families with like ten kids used to sleep in a single room cabin?
They'll be fine. Probably the highlight of their lives and school careers.
Yeah that sounds fucked up NGL. Children should not be aware of sex.
OMG! OMG! OMG! Won't anybody think of the children!
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the captain speaking, we regret to inform you that the inflight entertainment system is broken on this flight."
The airline, formerly known as "Virgin"
Pretty sure in flight had a fuse to pull. Its a massive power draw, and can absolutely affect engine performance.
Read the article lol, it's a passenger saying they couldn't stop the movie the staff played on the screens
I just checked and in Germany, Daddio is the rated equivalent to PG-13. Is it seriously R-rated in the US?
In Spain it is for those over 12 too, Americans have a strange relationship with sex. But in any case, if due to a breakdown you couldn't stop on the screens, they should have put something for all audiences. I'm not a very strict parent, but I don't want them to force my 5-year-old daughter to watch something for people over 13.
While this is funny, it's a truly harebrained idea to forcibly show a movie on all screens. Just leave it off.
Well, back in my day it was totally normal for a plane to show one movie for everyone. There used to be one screen at the front of each aisle, and sometimes a few more that came down from the ceiling, but this whole personal entertainment system where you get to choose what you want to watch, is brand new relatively speaking. You used to get on the plane, find out what movie they’re playing, and choose whether or not to plug in headphones.
I agree though, if the system is broken, just leave it off.
Greetings, fellow geezer! The difference is that those movies were easy to ignore. If it's on the screen right before your eyes it's going to be annoying.

"no way to turn it off" sounds like BS. As if there was not a clearly labeled breaker in the cockpit.
Can anyone explain where in the 2h of "two people talking in a cab" did they find nudity?
