so the airline story goes back to the 90's:

http://www.snopes.com/travel/airline/obnoxious.asp

the one going around on facebook includes a picture of people on an airplane taking pictures of something with their cell-phones.

From that Snopes page

I once was on a plane where I was served by an obviously homosexual male flight attendant. At one point, he bounced over to where I was sitting and announced, "The Captain has asked me to announce that he will be landing the big scary plane shortly, so if you could just put up your trays <nobr>— that</nobr> would be great."
<br><br>
I did as he had instructed, but the woman sitting next to me did not. A few moments later, our flight attendant came back and said to her, "Ma'am, perhaps you couldn't hear me over the big scary engine, but I asked you to please put up your tray so that the captain can land the plane."
<br><br>
She still wouldn't comply. Now the attendant was getting rather angry and asked her again to put up the tray. She then calmly turned to him and said, "In my country, I am called a princess. I take orders from no one."
<br><br>
Our flight attendant replied, "Oh yeah? Well in MY country, I'm called a queen, and I outrank you, bitch! So put the tray up!"

Shameful confession: I had that poster on my bedroom wall in high school and I think my freshman college dorm, at least for the first semester.

well, if you hadn't retained the lessons from kindergarten regarding honest self-disclosure you would never have had the balls to admit that in a public forum... i salute you!

I keep posting the LOLiberal ones because, first of all, those are the bulk of what get posted into my Facebook feed by my friends (I avoid friending family on Facebook), but also because when it's crazy right wing stuff, I can write it off as being crazy, but I really, really hate it when it's something I agree with but the stupidity of the image makes me wish I didn't.

One of the worst offenders of this crap on my FB is of all people, a published novelist, a really good smart creative guy. Just got a gig writing for a major games company. I'm like, doesn't anyone have opinions of their own anymore? Is it just easier to repost this crap?

(or RT on twitter which is just as annoying).
