My 5 yr old kid (and wife) flew over to Japan and back for a visit while I am here, and on the way the airline (NWA) showed several inflight movies. In all cases, these were PG-13 and some of them movies I would NOT let my son watch (yet). I.E. the Hulk. Since virtually every airline shows movies, and since it is literally (by design) not possible to find a seat where the movie is not viewable, I am wondering how they reconcile this? Am I supposed to blindfold the kid? This is a flight where you are intended to spend some of the time asleep to adjust to the time difference. Are you supposed to stay awake to keep the kid from watching? Because he WANTS to watch the hulk, so saying "don't llok" doesn't really cut it.
I realize there has to be some sort of compromise between providing worthwhile entertainment to passengers, and I am willing to bet they edit out any sexual content or avoid those movies entirely, but I personally have more of a problem with violent content being presented to my kid than sex or nudity.
Whatch'all think? How should airlines handle this? Not real pleased with the present solution.
