Porn Perspectives

Several US airlines have started offering Wi-Fi on board their flights, to the consternation of business travelers who enjoyed having one blessed place where they weren't hounded by their offices.

And as we all know, give them Internet and pornography quickly follows. Most airlines have set up content blockers on their networks to keep customers from viewing x-rated content online. (The more enterprising of passengers can easily download content to their laptops pre-flight, but no matter.)

But good ol' Virgin America is the airline intent on becoming synonymous with rhinestone-studded thongs, appointing itself the official airline of Victoria's Secret, who hosted a supermodel pajama party aboard a 2007 JFK-LAX flight. And so Virgin America will not be blocking porn on its Wi-Fi network.

Theoretically, passangers will exercise the discretion they typically display when refraining to look at adult magazines, masturbate, or hook up with fellow passangers.

But somehow I'm not so sure...Virgin America's ads point to a different sort of social code, one which magically turns its planes into flying discos upon the moment of liftoff....

Geeks suddenly become cool, and grumpy moms morph into hot babes from the '90s:

Flight attendants become foxy stewardesses in nearly-sheer white blouses which strain against their heaving bosoms:

People chat each other up through the seat-to-seat instant messaging on their entertainment consoles:

Women primp for clubbing later that night while people who met via seat-to-seat chat get to second base:

Douchebags like this get laid:

...as you can see, Virgin America's flights ensconce you in a wonderland of models in pajamas, available women, and casual sex. I think I understand why Virgin sees no need to block Internet porn--with all this, who really needs it?
