Seeking to avoid a confrontation, my friend's wife did not say anything to the guy or to the flight crew.

What should she have done, keeping in mind that she was seated next to this guy?


What's the problem with FHM or Maxim? They're mostly text with occasional swimsuit/lingere babes.

Playboy or Penthouse is another story, though, and especially Penthouse. The woman and her daughter should have called for the sky hags to have something done about this situation. Should have been easy to close down this guy's operation.

This guy clearly crossed a line.

That said, Americans are sure fussy about seeing a bit of tit. That's what you get when a country is founded by a bunch of people kicked out of Europe for being no fun.
