Hey -- if the prude in question can have the IFE shut off for everyone because (s)he finds it offensive (rather than simply ceasing watching it), can we object to him/her being on our flight in the future because we find him/her offensive?
Imagine at the gate. . . "I'm sorry, we were going to let you board, but unfortunately we cannot. Someone found you offensive."

Unbelieveable and shameful that the FA humored this person. Seems this passenger is probably one that goes around with a sense of entitlement and the FA just supported it.
What about the rest of the passengers. The FA should have just said it's been approved by headquarters for public viewing, so just ignore it if it does not interest you. UGH, hate these selfish people.

Thanks. It was immensely entertaining, you can only get people just so worked up about stopping an in-flight video, but that one was classic. I am lucky I wasn't on the road today, I would have missed it altogether, oh well. This thread, along with the other, just goes to show that there all kinds of people out there, including those that find Delta's carefully chosen G rated content offensive. Bottom line is I don't think you can make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time.
