A Christian writer has asked believers to shun an airlines in America for offering movies with explicit sexual scenes on air.
President of Million Mighty Men and author of numerous books including ‘When Good Men Are Tempted’, Bill Perkins was shocked to find a passenger sitting next to him in an American Airlines flight from New Delhi to Chicago viewing the movie ‘Black Swan’ on the in-flight monitor.
“It’s almost as if American Airlines couldn’t wait to baptize their passengers in the sexual values of our country,” Perkins said.
“I’ve flown 2.3 million miles with American Airlines and I am disappointed with their in-flight media philosophy,” he added.
‘Black Swan’, stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Portman won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, and the BAFTA Award for her lead performance. When Perkins saw the movie offered on the American Airlines flight, he assumed the sex scenes would be eliminated. They weren’t. The movie depicts Portman’s character pleasuring herself in two scenes and engaging in an explicit lesbian sex scene.
When Perkins contacted American Airlines’ customer service to express his displeasure he was met with this reply: “We take the issue of in-flight movie content very seriously. We require the movie studios to edit movies to remove inappropriate scenes and language to make them acceptable for general viewing before we will agree to show them. In fact, our edit standards are more stringent than those used by the television networks when they edit movies for television audiences.”
However, Perkins is unconvinced.
“What if I had been a child,” he asked. “Even if I wasn’t watching the movie on my monitor I could have seen it on my neighbor’s. And what about the children who did watch it?”
The writer is encouraging parents not to fly with their children on American Airlines until the Airline abides by their own policy.
He has also encouraging people to express their outrage for American Airlines blatant disregard for our values and the innocence of our children.
“This is a non-family friendly airline,” he said. “If we don’t act, their current policy may become the standard on all airlines.”
To get the airlines to change their policy, he has asked people to do the following:
1) Fax a complaint to (817) 967-4162
2) Go to American Airlines website and file out a complaint
3) Call reservations at 1-800-843-3000 to complain
