Uncut R rated movies?? Where? Even watching Gladiator was edited to have the violence taken out. I will never understand what is logical if they are trying to save us from something.
All said, use your judgement. If you are discreet, they will ignore the fact of what you are reading. Now if you pin up Miss January in bulk head area in front of you, well that is a different story.

I was just on a AA transatlantic and they showed that Banderas/Jolie film, I think it was called Original Sin? There is a scene that is as revealing as anything in Playboy (unless Playboy has become more raunchy since I last perused its ARTICLES it in my teens a decade ago 
). Obviously if they are showing that on their screens it is a bit silly to tell people to put away, Playboy or Blue boy, or whatever. Besides don't pax have the ablity to avert their eyes to things they would rather not see?
As for your attitude MiAAmistew, I say good for you. FA's of your ilk are why I fly AA, sensible and not too uptight about everything (a good approach when having to deal with a tubefull of all sorts of people at 30,000 ft) While I personally don't think that a romantic liason in a pubic rest room holds much appeal (I susppose it depends on whom one is going in their with ), especially when in one as generally dirty and cramped as an airliner lavatory, I also don't think that pax need to tolerate an FA's moral judgement of their behaviour. Professional execution of their duties is welcome, I am sure, but indignant expression of moral judgement needs to be checked at the gate as it can just unecessarily lead to nasty pax reactions onboard that enclosed tube.

I really think it would be nice if Americans (and the Taliban and whoever else it applies to) weren't so obsessed with their "right" of not seeing various things which they've seen before anyhow. Nobody's forcing you to watch.
As for kids, most will either be too young to be interested or have seen it all before, quite apart from the fact that it's their parents' responsibility to keep an eye out for what they watch, not the rest of the world's.
That's one advantage of flying, say, SQ. With personal video, the kids can watch bare tits on their own screen instead of having to look over someone else's shoulder at a magazine.

When the boys went through the adjoining door, into her room, to watch some movies, in searching the channels, I walked in just in time to see them click on a shot of a guy with his face buried in between some chick's thighs.
What did the oldest, the 12-year-old have to say?
"Gross," then he kept clicking. I think disinterested could be an understatement.

Young kids should not be in exit rows, so I guess it would be fine if only the passengers there would have access to more adult mags. < sarcasm off >
I do not have a problem with an adult reading adult material when in the presence of adults, but when a 9 year old is sitting next to you, I would ask that you consider other reading.
As for MHC--the handicap lav in midship on a 777 (only on UAL?) is big enough for a couple and a film crew.

On AA too. It's on the left side. I think 767s have them as well. It's big enough for a small party.

When I was a kid in the 70's, I saw someone read Playboy on the plane. I didn't stare and I didn't I was harmed by it.
On Japan Air Lines, one of the magazines available is the Japanese language version of Playboy. Since there are so many replies, is this news worth shouting?
PLAYBOY IS AVAILABLE ON JAPAN AIR LINES!
