As a United frequent flyer, I support comments in this article that there is too much sex and violence in in-flight movies that is visible to children. I find the countervailing comments of the Continental representative to be unpersuasive.
"A husband shoots his wife in the face, then drags her body from the pool of blood. A 12-year-old boy is crushed against a fence by a car. A teenager zips up her jeans in the bathroom after a sexual encounter.
These are images from movies shown to passengers recently on overhead screens in airlines, and they are sources of a new and vigorous outcry from parents, flight attendants and children’s advocacy groups who say that in-flight entertainment has become anything but family-friendly."
