This should count as violation of human rights. You're chained to the seat for hours and have no other option than look at this screen or force your eyes closed. Holy shit, people should get really mad. Flashing ads on a screen you don't look at directly are still very annoying, even if you look on your phone.

I need to start a business selling rectangular shaped covers for these displays. I’ll even make one that serves as a holder for an iPad, so you can substitute your own screen.

I wasn't aware they glued your eyelids and head directly facing the screen

Found the boot licker

You can literally not watch things if you don't want to.

Read a book.

🥾👅

Boot licking is when you are not easily distracted by shiny lights.

It's when you suck oligarch cock

Y'all behave like they put a gun up to your head and force you to watch them ads lmao.

It's mental how the simple thought of maybe do something else than watch the ads is met with such hostility lmao.

You know what doesn't have ads (yet, anyway)? Mother fucking books.

You know what you can take on a plane with you? A mother fucking book.

Read a book.
