A couple of days ago I shared the hilarious video of what it's like when flight attendants work from home, which made me laugh out loud at several points. While perhaps a bit lower budget and more amateur, there's also a hilarious pilot version of this,…

I don't know what's more divisive -- the topic of seat recline, or the 2020 presidential election (or heck, maybe just the 2020 democratic primary?!). There's now yet another viral seat recline video. I wasn't going to write about it, but my gosh, so…
Scandinavian Airlines uploaded a new ad to YouTube on Monday, and just over a day later, the ad is no longer publicly listed, after the video got nearly 50x as many "thumbs down" reactions as "thumbs up" reactions. Here's the 2min42sec SAS ad that has…
