Hi all,
Haven't seen anyone post this up yet, but according to Taiwan's AppleDaily, the J-class on CX is attracting men who find "other" ways to entertain themselves onboard.
You will find just about every type of behavior on-board almost any airline from males, females, and couples that you will find on the ground. Being on an aircraft does not seem to change what people do, for example we still get hundreds of people each year smoking on-board as well.

Oh dear god -_-
Yeah this is a serious issue. On flights here in the US this is completely unacceptable and the....er.....self abuser (to use 50's terms) would be seriously prosecuted as a sex offender.
In the meantime....i'm surprised I didn't see this while in Japan

Quoting kiwiinoz (Reply 5):
Wow. They went to quite an effort to make the video
I will take note next time flying CX
True true... I wonder if this was a shameless ad for Taiwan's own China Airlines, to help them crack into the lucractive TPE-HKG market. I believe CX dominates the route, and in the public's mind, China Airlines still has the stigma of its past dangerous safety record.

I take you've experienced Japan's trains? Actually, the pervs in Japan are much more discreet. Apparently a popular seller are these trenchcoats with fake arms and hands, so the wearer can pleasure himself under the trenchcoat, standing up in a crowded train. Think about that next time you're commuting in Tokyo!

They don't have too. Despite its troubled safety records, their flights between TPE/HKG are very full most of the time.
Anyway, EVA Air now also offers this same fee-free "value added service" on board their new/refurbished 77W Royal Laurel Class

I stand corrected, I had no idea they were doing so well. Still, knocking CX down a bit is still a good motivator if this is some kind of sly ad tactic.

That is one of the funniest videos I have seen in awhile! Hysterical. It certainly brings new meaning to In Flight Entertainment. The hot towel service was a bit over the top. I've thought the business class seats of CX and DL and others like them look like video arcade booths from the 70s.

Quoting Fabo (Reply 1): That was about the most disturbing video I can remember seeing.
Then you haven't seen much in your life.
It might be a bit over the top, but at least it was not "american prudish ... hilarious as it was, it does have a point. FAs do have to deal with this from time to time, not only on CX.

No, they don't seem to have any problem with CX. Apparently you missed their „coverage“ of the AA Bankruptcy.

Quoting PHX787 (Reply 18): Oh I've seen it other places....i.e., i went to the equivalent of a Blockbuster with the 5th floor being the 18+ floor.....you can just think
Hopefully they used bleach to clean the floors! I wonder if sales of sterilizing towels (i.e. Lysol Wipes) at HKG have gone through the roof now.

Oops oh yeah, I missed that one!
Quoting tharanga (Reply 9): Does somebody get paid to make animations like this?
Yep, they do... they make some wacky animation, often very sensationalized. I'm amazed at the effort they took to accurately recreate CX's airplane and interiors, especially all the fine details for the J cabin and seat.
The funny thing is that there doesn't seem to be any original source stories about CX's "problem", it's like the animators made it out of thin air. The only news on it are all reposts on the animation, rather than original news.

Well if you get people flying in from some countries not too far from you where they discharge their bodily fluids all over the place you need legislation involved here

lol
Quoting JAAlbert (Reply 11): The hot towel service was a bit over the top.
For some strange reason, I pictured a hot towel under that blanket in the animation
I'm not going to be taking those hot towels for some time!
Okay, I'd better not give them ideas!

Quoting infinit (Reply 25): Good lord.. How did you deal will it?
Wow, I'm surprised no one asked that earlier!!!
Quoting YLWbased (Reply 26): Tap on their shoulder, tell them that "the lavatory is at the rear of the aircraft". Speak softly, avoid making a big fuss in the cabin.
... Duly noted. I will upgrade to Y+ or book near the front of the Y cabin to avoid the rear lavatories!
Quoting spiritair97 (Reply 20):
Tell me there's a first class on CX cuz I can't do that long a flight in economy and I won't be able to be comfortable in business class anymore.
Yes, indeed there is First on CX!
Wow, this video could be a subliminal message for people to upgrade. I'm already thinking of going Y+ or grabbing the more desirable (and pricy) seats up front, and spiritair97 is considering F instead of J. Very clever if CX's marketing department was involved!
I wonder if anyone at CX has ever heard of the 'Streisand Effect' - this might bring far more attention to the original offending animation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
