Airline to put 'weep warnings'

[PAXboy]

Here's a good way to get some free publicity:

Virgin Atlantic will put "emotional health warnings" on some in-flight movies after research suggested passengers were more emotional on planes.

The likes of ‘Water for Elephants’ and ‘The Blind Side’ will carry the tongue-in-cheek notice, which advises travellers to "have tissues at the ready and to press the call button for a shoulder to cry on". ‘Toy Story 3’ was voted the most emotional movie

The airline did a survey on their Facebook page which showed that 55 per cent of travellers agreed their emotions became heightened on a flight.

The rest of the article is amusing.

I can think of plenty of other films where having tissues at the ready is advised, although I doubt if Virgin would show any of them on their IFE.
