Airline to Offer In-Flight Adult Movies 200
Soon the loud passenger who's had too much to drink on your red-eye flight will be the least of your travel worries. Ryanair Airlines chief Michael O'Leary plans to launch an app that will allow passengers to watch porn on their tablets and smartphones during flight. Mr O'Leary told the Sun: "I'm not talking about having it on screens on the back of seats for everyone to see. It would be on handheld devices. Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?" Best of all, the app could also be used to gamble or play games in case you got bored during the speaking parts of your in-flight adult movie.

I'm really not sure that I want to be flying on an airline whose chief can't tell the difference between a private hotel room and an airplane with dozens of other people sitting right next to you.

Preferably handheld devices that can be held in one hand.

What was the last porn movie you saw where they made love?
The last one I saw involved a girl taking two gents at one time and both of them gave her a facial.
While I'm sure it's a lovely experience, I don't think that's exactly what people think of.

It's more that, traditionally, playing pocket billiards is done at home, by your self, or with a very good friend, and not in a cramped tin box sitting next to a stranger.
also, Aircraft air is stale enough without adding the musty odour of after-sex.

This is Michael O'Leary just drumming up some free PR by proposing something completely outrageous so that it gets mentioned in all the papers. Last time it was suggesting that they'd charge people to go to the toilet [guardian.co.uk].
That proposal (like this one) will never actually happen.

He already charges more for disabled passengers
or "Early boarding" as it's called, since you can't actually book the front-row seats in advance.

It should be noted that the RyanAir proposal would actually have eliminated that problem, since he went into a rage when he was PREVENTED from looking at porn...
