I wonder if this thread will get merged into a to fly or not to fly with children master thread. Is there one? We have numerous threads on seat swapping/poaching where a big justification is children, numerous threads on behavior of children at airports and clubs (more appropriately, lack of supervision by parent). Now we're getting a "kids might see a booby thread".

But you don't get to impose your personal view of appropriateness on the rest of the world, so this is irrelevant.

i'm assuming most of yall dont have young kids that you fly with. If my 6 year old daughter was sitting next to somebody that was watching either graphic violence or graphic nudity/sex that would be inappropriate. it's not about "dont watch it if you dont want to", thats obviously not the issue here. it's about having young children subjected to it against their will. unless they add those blinder things where you cant watch the screen from an angle this is highly inappropriate IMO
Which would perturb you more: Nudity or violence?

I am one of those parents that doesn’t want anyone other than my wife or I determining what is appropriate for my kids to watch and I certainly wouldn’t want someone who themselves is uncomfortable with their body or sex to make any determinations on my behalf, irrespective of how well intentioned they think they may be.
Worry about your kids- not mine, and if you don’t have kids get some or move on.

And before someone chimes in with the inevitable rebuttal -- no, nobody's talking about US-defined pornography, which is of course against the rules to openly view on AA and other domestic airlines.

Let’s strive to keep this thread on topic, please. It’s about AA offering adult content on aircraft AVOD.
Thanks,

I don't believe there's an MPAA rating - PG13, R, etc.
HBO describes it as TV-MA.
Faux rage to boost FT page views? A conspiracy among 3M employees to sell more privacy/screen blockers? Wasn't there a thread on the (UA?) forum recently?

This particular film is a tv movie, so it does not receive MPAA rating. TV-MA means "This program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17."

I also applaud AA for showing unedited films. What a pleasure it is to watch an R movie with all the language and boobs. That's the only way a movie should be watched.
On a related side note I had the pleasure of watching "Naked Attraction" in the UK last week. LOL Could you imagine if the general US population saw this? They would be mass heart attacks nationwide.

I think this is fantastic. Good for AA for allowing the unedited version and not censoring. It is really annoying to watch IFE when the content had been edited out. If someone doesn’t want to watch it, they are not forced to watch it. But I shouldn’t have my shows edited to someone else’s standards.
