Flavor Flav Responded To Video Of Him Cursing Out Spirit Airlines Gate Agents
Flavor Flav (born name: William Jonathan Drayton, Jr.) is and always has been a notorious mess. Somehow, many still find him an endearing part of pop culture. It might have to do with the fact that despite his buffoonery and transgressions, he can take a licking (from Brigitte Nielsen) and keep on ticking. Even a boulder couldn’t take him out. But, it was a missed Spirit Airlines flight that recently almost got the best of him; luckily, he stopped short of assaulting someone this time and just ended up cursing out the gate agents who wouldn’t open the door back up for him to board the flight, despite them allegedly doing so for others.
A Social Media Personality With 22-Pound Boobs Thinks She Was Kicked Off A Plane For Being “Too Explicit”
A social media personality who goes by Mary Magdalene is alleging some discriminatory practices by an airline after she was removed from a flight. She says it was because of her big-bodacious breasteses. Yup, she thinks that her absolutely massive 22-pound boobs were considered “too explicit,” by American Airlines. I think this was a bit short-sighted, I mean, what if the plane went down and they needed some extra floatation devices? Mary’s got two huge ones!

Open Post: Hosted By The Virgin Flight That Turned Around Because The Pilot Wasn’t Qualified
The Guardian reports that on Monday, a New York-bound Virgin Atlantic flight turned back to London just 40 minutes into its journey. According to the airline, the pilots became aware of a “rostering error” somewhere over Ireland. The first officer (the co-pilot) was not fully qualified under UK flight regulations! He was just some dude who punched out the real first officer at the airport bar and stole his uniform! OK, no it’s actually not that exciting. The co-pilot was a real pilot, he just hadn’t completed the required “final assessment flight” with a proper training captain. And the captain on this flight wasn’t designated as a trainer, so he couldn’t fly with this particular #2. Snooore! Continue reading
Chris Kattan Reportedly Got Kicked Off A Flight Cuz He Wouldn’t Wear A Mask
These past few weeks I’ve been randomly bingeing YouTube clips from the long-canceled A&E reality show, Airline. When those ran out, I found myself in the “anti-maskers on airplanes” corner of YouTube. The videos are actually pretty satisfying because usually the anti-masker Karen (or Ken) gets kicked off the flight, and everyone cheers because evil has been defeated. Well, on Monday, 50-year-old Chris Kattan reportedly got booted from an American Airlines flight for refusing to wear a mask. The real tragedy here is that nobody filmed that shit, so we’ll never know if the passengers cheered. Continue reading
Busta Rhymes Was Greeted At The Airport By Police After An Overhead Bin Altercation
I hadn’t really considered Busta Rhymes since the early-aughts when he was making chiropractors rich by telling everybody to break ya neck. But apparently he’s still hustling. Earlier this week, Busta was flying first class on British Airways from JFK to London’s Heathrow Airport where he was greeted by police after “verbally assaulting and threatening passengers” in a dispute over overhead bin space (via Daily Mail). Look, we all know air travel is hell. Well, at least it is for us who can’t afford to fly first class. I’m surprised more in-flight outbursts don’t occur given the number of stupid, annoying people one encounters on any given flight. But mussin’ and fussin’ in first class with a glass of champagne in your hand and a fleet of flight attendants to do your dirty work for you? Get the fuck outta here.
WOW Air Stranded Passengers With No Notice After Going Bust Overnight
More than a thousand passengers flying with Icelandic budget air carrier WOW Air yesterday found themselves stranded when the airline suddenly cancelled all their flights and ceased operations. According to CNN, WOW didn’t bother to tell anybody what was happening, instead they simply posted a statement on its website. Passengers were given the runaround, at multiple airports, due to conflicting information. Flights were delayed for hours before eventually getting cancelled. It was bedlam on both side of the atlantic. Where’s Keanu Reeves when you need him?
