European Ryanair to Offer In-Flight Porn?

By James Sheldon on November 11th, 2011

C’mon, man!?

Are you familiar with European airlines? Ryanair? Imagine Southwest and AirTran having a love child that neither wanted so they put it up for adoption, and JetBlue adopted it…then JetBlue decided, “This airline is the spawn of Satan,” so they took it to an orphanage in Ireland, and dropped it off at the doorstep. That’s Ryanair.

I kid. Ryanair isn’t the spawn of Satan…or is it?

Recently, airline executives were crunching figures and trying to determine manners in which more money could be made, while also keeping their discount fares as bait for passengers on the cheap. Charge more for blankets? Beverages? Snacks? How about porn? No, not porn for everyone, just the people who want to put it on their portable devices through a Ryanair porn app. You know–in order to keep it discreet.

I’m sorry, but is there anything discreet about travel in a commercial jet?

This may be one of the stupidest ideas ever. Honestly, I don’t care how big of a porn fiend you might be, unless you’re a few bricks shy of a load, you’re not going to sit on a crowded plane with your headphones plugged into your iPad and watch porn.

“Mommy, what’s that man watching?”

Regardless of how you feel about porn, do you really wanna sit next to the guy who’s watching it? I’ll pass. Not that I would ever, or will ever fly the Irish cheap-o, Ryanair, but if I found myself in a pickle, I don’t want to sit next to somebody focused on rubbing theirs at 35,000 feet.

Seriously, if you want to watch porn on a flight, you’re not going to rely on a cheap airline’s in-flight app in order to do it…are you?

NOW. Nonsense aside. Clearly, this is a stroke of genius. Ryanair CEO, Michael O’Leary, is well aware that there is no such thing as bad publicity…especially when it’s free.
