AVFCLaura Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The boss of budget airline Ryanair wants to launch a pay-per-view pornography service for passengers to watch during flights, it has been claimed. Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary said he hopes to launch an app for the airline where travellers can watch sex scenes on their iPads or smartphones while in the air. The planned service would also allow Ryanair passengers to gamble and play games, as well as watch erotic movies. Mr O'Leary told the paper: 'I'm not talking about having it on screens on the back of seats for everyone to see. It would be on handheld devices. 'Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?' But the move raises the prospect of passengers watching porn films with children sitting barely feet away. Ryanair said the pornography plans would take at least a year to introduce on their flights, as establishing a cost-effective way of having a solid broadband connection on their planes would be a major obstacle.

AVFCLaura Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 But regardless, there are a lot of frequent flyers on this forum. Is it a service people would be interested in, or is it a step too far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 it's another obvious hoax story released by their press team. it's not a private room like a hotel so you couldn't exactly watch some lovely looking lady getting caved in every orrifice whilst fapping away. 1. unless you have no social awareness you wouldn't do it 2. you'd be actually performing a criminal act 3. it would be waaaay too expensive 4. they wouldn't have the good porn either 5. you'd have to pay extra for tissues 6. a lot of ryanair attendants aren't hot enough and woul put you off the fapping anyway 7. the screens wouldn't work properly 8. you'd have an advert interupting your viewing every few seconds 9. you'd be interrupted for drinks, food, scratchcards all the time. 10. no air conditioning for a lot of the flight would mean you have stale fap air all the time. 11. you'd have no leg/arm space to actually fap anyway.

kidlewis Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 it really annoys me how people actually publish articles like that? it's ridiculous Ryanair might as well release a story saying how on their planes they are going to have a woman lying in a box with holes cut out so passengers can smash away whilst the seatbelt signs are off. or Ryanair announce plans to charge people per minute when oxygen masks are released when in an emergency. "pure oxygen costs a lot to fly around in tanks on board and isn't a necessity when flying the majority of the time, therefore it's an extra service provded". or Ryanair plan to clone O'leary and have him stationed on board every flight dancing like a leprocaun saying "DERPY DERP DEE DERP" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I wouldn't mind sitting in on one of their PR teams brainstorming sessions when they are coming up with these publicity stunts. Some of the ideas they reject must be a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCLaura Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Paying for toilets, the option of standing up for a flight at a cheaper cost, pr0n, wonder what's next? Although if you were in business class, surely a bit of soft pr0n is acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 O'Leary on the publicity trail again Indeed. Only a matter of time until that c*** suggests strapping people to the wings just to get Ryanair in the news again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 to be fair to him though what other advertising do they do? pretty much none, flybe have the weather sponsor and easyjet are on billboards everywhere, waste of money stupid stories in the press that stupid people believe, is it much worse than nintendo or apple to name 2 companies that hold back stock to get pics of huge lines of people in the papers to create demand rather than advertise?

Zatman Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 some more brilliant PR from Ryanair. They say something ridiculous and an idiotic journalist picks it up and prints. Its a business version of trolling but people still fall for it. Im sure if you look back on their "ideas" from last 5 years i dont think any of them has been brought in. IM sure that paying for toilets idea is about 4 years old by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
