I understand the whole "if you don't like it don't look". But when you are cramped into a tiny area and this screen is flashing images next to you, it's very hard not to look. I really don't care but people should use some common sense and be thoughtfull of people around them. Just wait until you land, and pick a PG-13 move while on a plane or in a public place.

I suppose watching a giant countdown timer is out of the question?

i'll watch r rated movies on my frequent flights. I always get a window seat and if I feel like something inappropriate is about to happen, I kinda turn it so only I can see it.

i remember some douche with an ipad trying to be slick reading his erotic story. he was one row in front of me so i got a clear view of the naughty story he was reading.

dont know how i would have handled it if i was sitting right next to him. i mean hes literally touching you because the plane and seats are small (regional jet) and hes probably got a hard-on from the cheap story.

at least he was discreet with the story only being text and not being a full featured pr0n film for everyone to see.

Put headphones in, watch whatever you want. Maybe not porn... no point really unless you can fap. If anyone complains tell them to stfu and mind their own business.

When I was in like 9th grade I saw Gangs of New York on a plane, it was one of the in-flight movies. Fucking awesome. It's got some titties and blood, definitely.

Saying in a nice way... Its really none of your business as long as he is not touching you and infringing on your space. On the other hand if is was a she I would like her to share the movie depending what she looks like.

When I went to a street party in switzerland they have erected a plastic urinal for men out in the open for everyone to see even KIDS. What do you do in this situation? You avoid it or don't look. :) The bush or tree was better than the urinals thats how open they were. Wish I can upload the pics here.

I think we can do without pics of guys peeing. Why would you photograph this?

I watched Inglorious Basterds on a Delta flight, on their in-seat screen.

Some of these comments are semi-ignorant...they sell violent movies on the plane. The US just has a sex-hangup....

As long as they are using headphones/ear plugs I don't give a flying fuck what they want to watch.
