I have to say that I tend to agree that this guy should not have been reading porn in a public place. I would feel uncomfortable doing it, even though I have no issues with 'reasonable' porn.

Having said that, I have noticed (and witnessed) the action of cabin crew. In recent years I've seen ratty cabin staff work a situation up and increase the confrontational aspect - where a simple few polite but firm words would have sufficed.

They just know that the passenger cannot respond in a 'normal' way without the possibility of being offloaded or banned. (Alcohol and mild hypoxia symptoms also play a part here.)

Put a low qualified spotty kid in a uniform with responsibility and pressure and elevate him/her to 33000 feet and there's bound to be a power trip!

Best to just say nothing and take it up later.

Someone just hit the bottom line right on the head.........
Spetsnatz Says"I would feel uncomfortable doing it, even though I have no issues with 'reasonable' porn."

"Reasonable Porn"..... OK.........Is the gal in the picture doing one guy or three?? Reasonable to think Porn if its more than one???
Whats Porn to some is just Trash to others, or maybe if your a Psychiatrist dealing in Sexual Issues its "research material"
Interesting as its a big contoversy all over the world. Maybe not appreciated while at the Basillica in Rome, but common place on the streets of Amsterdam.
I still use the judgment that if I dont like it, I just dont look.....lets me make my own decisions......
The world is ever changing, and remember now in the states Its against the rules to bring ANY Cigarette lighters on board or in your luggage on any Aircraft.
Im so glad I have someone to look out for me....

Good Stuff Nationwide
 

Godd for you Nationwide. Maybe next time give the sick pig a parachute and toss him out over False Bay.

Loslyf and such filth is a clear indication of the state of someones mind.

Speak to a professional medical person and they will tell you that porn is more adictive than some main stream drugs.

I for one would not be comfortable sitting next to a junky whilst he snorted acid, so throw Loslyf and his kin in the bin.

Spose the fact that condoms are available at the airport means that they can be used in the next two hrs on a flight at the discretion of a passenger in public. Does the ticket make reference to everything that could be offensive to ordinary folks.
Well done Capt:ok:

"Spose the fact that condoms are available at the airport means that they can be used in the next two hrs on a flight at the discretion of a passenger in public."
Apples and Oranges Boys and Girls. Some things have already been defined by Society to not be acceptable in Public. I dont particularly like to sit next to some fat sweathog picking his/her nose, however that has not yet been deemed offensive enough for the cabin crew to throw them off the plane.
Point of my postings is not that this idiot did the right thing or anything to discredit the crew. Its the ability to mind my own business and not have some knothead determining what is good for me.....
What are ordinary folks for some, may not be for others.....

An aeroplane is a very easy place to attract attention. Especially if you're looking for it,as in this case.

When i was younger and on a flight to somewhere packed in the sardine can, all I had to do was pull out a cricket magazine and wait 2 seconds before the guy next to me would ask "so do you play cricket?" and there I got the attention i was looking for. This guy is just simply looking for attention by causing chaos when he doesn't have to. Its the same as the idiot that tackled the referee during the Tri Nations game at Kings Park a few years ago.

He is obviously on such an action drought that he has no better option than to open a porn mag on a two hour flight. If i look hard enough in my desk drawer i might have some spare attention for him. Anyone got his number so i can give it to him??

And before i forget, well done to the photographer of the picture. You might just find a free subscription to 'loslyf' in your postbox sometime soon!! :E :E

"Loslyf"?

A somewhat unfortunate name for a skin magazine. Brings to mind some old tart suffering from a severe attack of gravity. Pretty darn sexy......:E :yuk:

grommet, you are hilarious!


'Loslyf and such filth is a clear indication of the state of someones mind.'

where do you get your drival from, how do you know someones state of mind from what they read?

reading/looking at pictures is for entertainment, interest or escapism...perhaps you should try it now and then.

your analogy of drugs and reading a porn magazine are little off the mark i think, but hey, whatever you are into?


never heard of anyone snorting acid....?

:D this was one in the 90's, and it was called a smiley!

Not a matter of apples and oranges..just simply a bonehead looking for a reaction on a flight. Any person can read what they want...sure freedom of expression..bla..bla..
Were all adults....would expect this kind of behaviour only from the kind of a$#@hole that he is.
Go Capt go......:ok:

Go Boss
 

Well done Nationwide Captain, you made the right decision, hey he (the offending passenger) even looks like a poes.......;)

Guns you say you know the man?? please tell us more......is he as stupid as he looks?

He is a dumn bugger .. seeing that you understand Afrikaans - regte k@ksoeker ! ;) (troublemaker)
