    This guy is a fucking douchebag and I hope they throw the book at him.

    Yeah, the passenger is an asshole too but the proper response to said asshole is not to f-bomb an entire airplane full of people then violate god knows how many FAA safety regulations by deploying the emergency slide on your way out the door.

    I hope he winds up doing time for this.

    More suspicion about the JetBlue story.

    Who are you stalking these days?
     
  7. I had high hopes this thread would turn into one full of awesome stories of people flipping desks at their newspaper offices and storming out after purposely misspelling everyone's name in a story.

    If I'm going out like that, it's with a fifty-hitler salute on an inside page. The pressmen around here pay such little attention, I think I could pull it off.

    This assclown actually wants his job back at Jet Blue. What a total fucking moron.
    But now he's a national fucking hero because he said "fuck you, world."

    That this idiot can be viewed as a hero proves the dumbing down of America is now complete.

    Not quite, Spirited. All such acts are not complete until the perpetrator has gone on "Larry King Live" to explain him- or herself. Tuesday night, this f-tard will do just that.

    I'm torn between watching it to hear his side (as asinine as it is) and not watching it just to keep this guy from getting a larger audience. What an f---ing jerk. This is what really bugs me about this culture anymore: The more outlandish, the more idiotic someone is or comes across, the more they get lauded and applauded for it. It makes me sick!! If any of us did that, do you think we would get an interview with Larry?? I don't think so.

    You guys bitter much?

    Dude freaked out = bad.

    But he owned up to his action by saying, "At the end of the day I am a grown up and must take responsibility for my actions;" will pay full restitution; and plead guilty to avoid a costly trial.

    Should he be applauded for being a jerk on his job? No. Bt should he be strung up by piano wire from a light pole for doing something lots of more famous, wealthier people (I'm talking to you, Favre!) have refused to do, and that's manning up and apologizing?
