Passengers left speechless after X-rated movie is played on every screen during flight

Qantas Airways has come under fire for allegedly playing an 'extremely inappropriate' movie on all of its screens and taking 'almost an hour' to realize.

Whether you've wanted to or not, you'll have heard all about 'rawdogging' flights in recent months, however, I wonder what it would be called if you sat down on a plane and were forced to watch a film with 'graphic nudity', unable to switch channels or 'turn it off'?

Well, that's allegedly what happened on Qantas flight QF59, which traveled from Sydney, Australia to Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan yesterday (October 5).

A Reddit user u/MariKontan took to the thread r/QantasAirways to explain the 'in-flight entertainment system was down' onboard the flight, and 'after a one-hour delay, the pilot decided to take off anyway, but the only option left was for the crew to play a movie on every screen'.

Look, we've all been there when someone's got a speaker out and asked who wants to jump on the aux - it's a lot of pressure, such responsibility and not everyone is going to agree with your choices.

Alas, to make it even more of a tricky decision for the Qantas crew, the film 'was impossible to pause, dim or turn [...] off' once selected, the Reddit user claims.

And the film that ended up on screens, unfortunately, ended up being the sort which certainly wasn't meant for all ages of eyes.

The passenger continued: "Here’s the kicker: the movie they played was extremely inappropriate. It featured graphic nudity and a lot of sexting – the kind where you could literally read the texts on screen without needing headphones.

"It took almost an hour of this before they switched to a more kid-friendly movie, but it was super uncomfortable for everyone, especially with families and kids onboard."

The passenger attached three images of 'the scenes' in question, although 'only from the sexting parts, no nudity' - because that would just be repeating the same issue, right?

Indeed, the images show examples of texts of a completely sexual nature, talking about body parts, what they want to do with them and the effect it's having on them - you get the gist.

The user resolved: "How is this acceptable for a major airline? Has anyone else had something like this happen?"

And it's not taken long for other social media users to weigh in.

One said: "Wtaf lol. I believe this is the flight attendant version of 'flipping over your desk and dramatically storming out' on your last shift."

"A single movie played to the whole plane? What year is it?" Another added.

A third commented: "Bruh why wouldn't you just put on Shrek?"

And a fourth said: "That is actually insane, like surely when you get the list of movies available you choose the least likely to offend. Like Finding Nemo or Despicable Me. How do you choose a movie that’s for mature audiences?

"Bizarre, definitely worth Qantas getting big questions about."

A spokesperson for Qantas Airways told UNILAD: "The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight and we sincerely apologise to customers for this experience.

"All screens were changed to a family friendly movie for the rest of the flight, which is our standard practice for the rare cases where individual movie selection isn’t possible.

"We are reviewing how the movie was selected."
