Air NZ Safety Videos
Righto, let’s forget APD, SC, RUs and Kiwi safety for a while.
wikipedia reckons Kiwi safety is the 18th video.
It's the 18th of the Air New Zealand's safety videos which started in 2009.[10]
Chocolate fish to the winner who can name them all 😀

I predict the next one will be a hit... They will surely learn from this one and be more conservative with the next one. If I was going to put my money on it, it'll be one that's more like the NZ summer video.

Isn’t this the second time they had too pull an video? The Binki models didn’t last too long once it started getting complaints...

I liked the bikini model video. I could appreciate it without going off on a sexist tangent. Whereas the kiwi safety video was just awful on all levels. It wasn't visually appealing, the rap was crap and the underlying head bobbing/banging? beat was something I'd expect at kids level. Anyway, some people confessed to enjoying it but as always, each to their own.

I hated the bikini one and did indeed find it offensive (not so much as to make a big deal out of it, I just didn't appreciate it) as someone who is a somewhat insider to that industry, but it didn't get pulled, it came down at the normal time. That was definitely my least favourite, until this one of course. This one was sort of offensive (yeah... 90s USA culture is hardly "kiwi") but it was just really, really annoying.
To me it was kind of just embarrassing as Air NZ is the first stop for many international guests to NZ. It's their first look at Kiwi culture. And if I was an outsider and saw that, I'd think "wow - this is Kiwi culture? Huh. They're still hung up on kid/teenage culture from the 90s... how weird."

Do you think this is a joke? Unfortunately, probably not.
Apparently NZ is looking for a new Safety Video Boss.

This, just after an announcement that the company needs to make cuts to stay competitive. Personally, I would have thought the first place to start saving would be to stop making expensive safety videos, let alone appointing someone new to make more of them. But what would I know?
But maybe they'll start saving by suggesting people provide their own soap and toilet paper on flights.

Um... that was a joke...
A really, really obvious joke too...
Like the only way that you couldn't see it was a joke was because you're looking to hate on the company.
And I think that rather than continue with being so negative we should appreciate that they can laugh at themselves?

I'm very pleased indeed that it's a joke - sorry I missed it.
And frankly, I've been flying with NZ for more years than some of you have been alive - although maybe not as frequently. So please don't tell me I'm looking to hate on the company - I've been totally loyal to the airline - perhaps more so than I should have been.
