We have all heard of taking a "commercial airline" before, and have all most likely taken a flight somewhere or another. I flew out to Ohio last weekend, and made a small discovery. The commercial flight really is commercial now. The entire flight, you get to watch a string of commercials, on a loop, displayed about 16 inches in front of your face. The head rest has a small TV screen built into it, and unless you pay a couple bucks to watch half of a movie (based on your destination) you get to watch commercial ad's the whole way. Or, you could just turn it off, and look out the window. Don't look up though, because if you do, there is a couple of hundred commercial screens staring back at you, and nobody giving a shit to turn them off.
I paid a couple of bucks to watch the little tiny screen once. I had no idea what movie was going to be playing. I figured, "a movie will make time pass and at least I'll get to see some new Hollywood blockbuster that I would never see until it came on USA or TNT. So I sit back with a double gin & tonic feeling relaxed and looking forward to the movie the flight. So the screen comes on and goes on 20 minutes with commercials and previews then comes the movie. Freaking Whitechicks!!! You know, the movie with the two "rapper guys" who put on makeup and pretend to be white college girls. I know everyone on the plane heard me say "mothafucker". Then I could not turn the little screen off. So now I'm stuck 2 hours looking at these 2 stupid guys kill their careers. But what was worse of all was the fat guy next to me watching the crap movie I paid for and laughing and snorting during the whole movie at this waste of film. When the movie ended I was like, "good, this fat chap will go back to think about ass he never had". Then the damn movie started over again, and he laughed & snorted again. 8 hour flight. I just got trashed on gin & tonics and had to be woke up when we got to Portland OR. Moral of the story, Fly cheap ass South West who has no screens or just watch the freaking commercials.
