SOAP OPERA ABOUT SKY-HIGH CABIN-CREW SEX UPSETS THAI INTERNATIONAL UNION
January 22nd 2008 23:46
A popular new Thai soap opera about love and infidelity in the high skies has angered Thai Airways flight attendants who demanded the show be canceled.
AP reports that ‘The Air Hostess War,’ which broadcast its first three episodes last week on Thailand's Channel 5, has captivated viewers with a story line about a dashing married pilot having an affair with one of his tall, slim flight attendants. There are love triangles that lead to fighting in the aisles and steamy sex scenes at stopover cities.
The Thai Airways International union issued a letter on Monday urging the Culture Ministry to order the show to be pulled from the air.
"It's all about sex and air hostesses beating each other up in the cabin because of love and jealousy. This kind of thing never happens.
"We are demanding that the station and the producers immediately stop airing this ugly soap opera."
Channel 5 says it has no plan to pull the soap opera but will consider suggesting that scenes found to be offensive be edited out.
Perhaps Channel 5 should base a script about Australia’s Qantas stewardess turned hooker who bonked US actor Ralph Fuentes in the toilet during a flight.
