BOSTON, MA — Webizens with good social skills and a wireless card on their laptop began flying the exceptionally friendly skies of Virgin America yesterday – and so far no one has been traumatized or victimized by the sight of unwanted online pornography.Although the mainstream media has been excited by the possibility of air travelers being able to surf the internet while the blood pools in their asses, it has been equally aghast at the idea that airline carriers might not filter online content to the point where a toddler would feel unchallenged.
Primarily of concern to those nervous about technology was the likelihood that a passenger might pull up their favorite circus sex website while sitting within easy viewing distance of a minor.
According to Virgin America, that’s not expected to be the case on any of its Boston to California flights in spite of the fact it now offers Aircell Gogo service. In fact, according to the Boston Herald, the airline has no intention of imposing content restrictions.
“We don’t believe that Wi-Fi accessibility will significantly change the current formula, as there is nothing stopping guests now from downloading the content onto a laptop for a flight,” representative Abby Lunardini pointed out to the newspaper.
As Lunardini and supporters see it, “Most guests view being on a flight akin to being in any other public place and moderate their behavior accordingly.”
Delta, United and American Airlines are likely watching the radical airline to see how its free speech and mature behavior positive service works out. Each of those air travel providers offer Wi-Fi service on some flights, but deny access to adult sites.
Virgin America passengers may connect to the internet once their flight has reached 10,000 feet and they have paid $12.95 for the service. Whether they enjoy religious, erotic, political or other controversial content during the flight is their decision.
