Just a thought, but do Virgin Atlantic really think that Loose Change (complete with shot of the burning twin towers in the seat back magazine) represents appropriate content for their “in-flight entertainment”?
My, how times have changed: ten years ago I clearly remember (also on a Virgin flight as it happens) watching the Eurovision episode of Father Ted, from which four key words had been quietly edited out of the bit where Dougal says “Er, they all died, Ted, in a plane crash”. Then, a few years ago, I watched Donnie Darko on a trip to somewhere or other: in this case, it would have been pretty impossible for them to remove evidence of planes not always staying in the air, but they did provide a handy note in the magazine: “this film contains scenes involving a plane crash that some viewers may find disturbing”.
No doubt on my next trip they’ll be showing the Final Destination trilogy, with audio channels showcasing the best of Buddy Holly, Glenn Miller, and John Denver…
Anyway, I watched the 9/11 conspiracy thing on the way back from Cuba this morning. It was, quite clearly, nonsense, but more of that later…
And more of Cuba, too, which was fantastic. And I have 1.5 GB of photographic evidence to sift through and upload to prove it too. It might take a while.
