What a thoughtless little pig.

Baldwin must be a big asshole. His 30 Rock character must not be hard for him to act as.

It was inebitiable

10 bucks says that Pilot is on Fox and Friends tomorrow morning.

is that like scrabble or something

Grow up, Alec.

He should have been playing Words by Post.. so I can beat him on my WP7 phone

I just played "corm", so I've got that going for me.

I was surprised "shiat" and "jism" are acceptable words in that game.

stuhayes2010: Baldwin must be a big asshole. His 30 Rock character must not be hard for him to act as.

His character is a corporatist Republican, so merely saying his lines is enough to paint him as a giant farking asshole. No acting required for that much of it.

On another note, one of my students who has worked in the industry for a long time noted that, while landing, pilots are on their phones making hotel reservations. Use of electronics for me, but not for thee!

As is "coont"

I love Words with Friends.


Alec Baldwin, not so much.

Mythbusters should shoot cannon ball at him.

You know, when I fly, I am being rocketed across the country in a metal tube at around 600mph,, where any little thing can result in a fiery or gravity based death.

The pilot could be getting a BJ from a high price whore while his co-pilot does cocaine during landing for all I care, if it keeps him at 100%. The passengers can be treated like cattle (which they are most of the time, for good reason) as long as it doesn't violate basic human rights, I could care less if you are allowed to use your precious phone during take off or not, you are not special.

/seriously, if you don't like it, you can drive

Tracy Morgan was also on the plane.. and he made a nasty comment about homosexuals.

gosh im addicted to that game. i must have like 7 or 8 going at once.
funny thing is that i hated playing scarrable.

One of the best headlines I've seen. Well done, subby.

From another FA

Passenger Steve Weiss, who was sitting across the isle from Baldwin, described the scene.

"Apparently he said he was playing a game, but he was actually talking on the phone. She [the flight attendant] was very nice. The door was closed they just announced that they were pulling away from the gate. He got up threw his papers on the floor stormed into the bathroom slammed the door closed, beat on the wall and then came back."

"He said 'If you want to kick me off, kick me off.' He was just crazy, he just flipped out.

Champion of the little man.

It's amazing to me that airplane technology hasn't advanced to the point where someone listening to an ipod won't instantly cause the plane to crash. I flew a month ago and forgot to turn off my Kindle during landing, it's a wonder that I'm still alive.

I hate Baldwin, but I'm really not sympathetic to the airline either.

There's no reason for turning the electronics off for any modern aircraft...if there were, a terrorist would have already tried to exploit it. It's a pointless holdover that serves no purpose other than inconveniencing passengers (just like pretty much everything else airlines do).

Strolpol: It's a pointless holdover that serves no purpose other than inconveniencing passengers (just like pretty much everything else airlines do) shutting up the assholes who want to keep talking to people during takeoff/landing/and while the plane is flying if they could

it's policing manners... and well...

Kenny Tarmac nods in sympathy with Mr. Baldwin.

What a thoughtless little pig.

Typical 1-percenter-liberal

KENNY!

/gotta skate, we're at the gate

I know! I know!

Takeoff and landing can cause crashes by being a few degrees or feet off course. When you're cruising, minor fluctuations are largely irrelevant (there's nothing technically wrong with making calls during a flight, even, assuming you can get a signal). But during takeoff and landing, precision is incredibly important, so they don't take any chances. The rules could be loosened, but not abolished.

What a dufus.

I guess that what I was trying to illustrate is that the odds that any electronic device will actually scramble the plane's instruments are so small that pilots who actually KNOW THE EQUIPMENT don't give a shiat about the "risk." This fear that people have of electronic devices downing a plane is akin to the fear that anti-vaccine types have when they think that the vaccine will just end up giving their child polio. The odds are so low that it's ridiculous.

Of course, you being a dumbass that wants to make a "HURR HURR U R NOT SPESHUL" comment, you went right for it, didn't you?

I want you to drive. Drive right off a cliff, that is. Dumb fark.

Wasn't there some big scandal a few years ago where he was verbally abusing his kids? NPR has him come on and do a funny bit during their little pledge drives, where he "acts" like a smug asshole, but I don't think it's an act.

Triumph: "Hi, Alec? It's Tim from Zynga. Listen, we'd like you to be the celebrity spokesperson for one of our games. We don't want to shoot a TV or magazine ad, which are totally 20th century. Basically what we want you to do for us is get kicked off a plane for playing the game. It's street theater - just like SNL, only funnier. You onboard for getting kicked offboard? Great! We'll hammer out the financials with your agent. mkay? buh-bye"

This, this, and this. They were running story on some morning show today about this. They must have mentioned "Words With Friends" at least a dozen times, and showed stills of his tweets with those words in all capital letters.

"Deplane" is not a word.

The past tense of sneak is sneaked.

It does NOT matter what dumb people say. Or how many dumb people say it.

That's it, sir. I am invoking Sky Law!

I see why.
