More Airline Ranting

You know the asinine movies that they show on long haul flights?
The ones that usually suck rocks or are just yeeech? Like, erm, Like Mike, Hitch, The Ya-Ya Spinsterhood, Cheaper by the Dozen, Beautyshop (but they never showed Barbershop, wonder why?), ad nauseum. Movies you normally wouldn’t accept money to watch because they’re bland, simplistic, inoffensive and politically correct (which is bad bad bad).
Well, guess what? That’s EXACTLY why they show them!
Maybe it’s to lull you into a coma so you don’t notice that the sausage that came with your “breakfast” tastes suspiciously like soy…and the service you’re experiencing is crap! =P
Of course, the best cure for this if you’re on a US flag airline is to bring your own snacks (Costco trail mix and Shin Cup come to mind), The Scorpion King on DVD and something to play it on.
