So much herp - Inflight movie = Diversion

[NEDude]

I have a right to be upset about pornographic scenes on an airplane that my kid is on. It's uncalled for, it should be edited. It's one thing if we are all mature adults, but with young kids around, they don't need to see that kinda stuff.

As for FAs, they are the biggest drama queens in the aviation industry.

Pornographic scenes in 'Alex Cross'? I have seen it twice on United and do not recall anything close to being 'pornographic'. If you think there was then you fall under the category of 'uptight American'.

I haven't seen the movie, just going by descriptions which sound graphic enough that it is understandable for parents to be upset if their children were forced to watch it on overhead TVs.

Nothing but Finding Nemo from here on out.

What about "The Walking Dead" highly appropriate.

Just curious how the flight crew came to the decision to divert? What specific details would cause any of you to divert if a family was unhappy concerning the IFE choice? I honestly can't think of any. Unless the mom pulled out a steak knife and threatened to stab someone if the movie wasn't changed immediately. ********************ing ridiculous move by the entire crew imho.

I don't care how bad the FA made it sound over the inter phone. The CA should have asked a few questions. Possibly the crew was bitter and looking for any excuse to stick it to the company.

UAL crew bitter? C'MON! The only unbelievable part of the whole story is the FAs actually taking time to put the movie in, Oh and that there is actually a working VCR on a United airplane.

Getting a little traction, Huckabee's commenting on it

so what if some minor saw some a$$$ (not even really). Get over it. This country is way too uptight. This would be laughed at in Europe. Do these parents have a V-chip in their TV as well? Kids are routinely exposed to these "adult" themes all day long without the parents consent.
