Flying is tedious. Cramped quarters, stale air and crying babies are just some of the annoying-at-best obstacles that greet passengers on a daily basis.
One French traveler wanted to change all that, and his logic seemed as air-tight as the flight cabin itself. “Flights are boring. I wanted to make it fun.”
His version of “fun,” however, is up for debate. While we might agree that donning a speedo and and plastic pool floaty while strutting down the aisle could potentially be fun, American Airlines and the rest of the passengers on board weren’t as easily convinced. Go figure.
According to Jerome Jarre, who happens to be the fourth-most followed person on Vine with 7.5 million followers, his little airplane stunt earned him a private meeting with police and the FBI after his plane touched down in Miami.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
For his sake, we hope he got a lot more followers out of it as well.
How would you react if a fellow traveler emerged from the bathroom like this? If he looked like Jerome, we probably wouldn’t mind.
If you like what you see, here’s a taste from Jerome’s Vine page:

Its really not the crucial! It was silly and FBI didn’t need to be called. Get over yourself people lol

Personally, I would find it annoying. And that not being due to lack of sense of humor. Why do some people feel they must always be the entertainment? For most people the plane ride is after a crazy busy schedule, or an anticipated event after landing. Jerome, bring it down a notch.

Look at me act stupid everyone! Am I not the stillest cutest boy alive. Now make me popular with your likes so I can make lots more of these.
Is that about it or maybe there’s something I’m not seeing.

I used to have a freind like that. He was the one man comedy show and thought every little stupid thing he did was a riot that people would love. The problem was that he was the only one laughing.

This is about as clever and original as “SHOWTIME” on the subway.

@Gaius: I agree with you. It’s annoying behavior but nothing that should require an FBI investigation. Total law enforcement overkill as usual.

Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! What a friggin’ attention whore and I don’t get the impression it’s a psychological hole he’s feeling but it is pure narcissism.

What a narcissistic twit. The internet has made too many people stars in their own mind.

I don’t believe his story. If you get pulled off a plane by law enforcement, it would be the US Marshals, not the FBI. I think his stunt was annoying, but failed to generate anything exciting enough for a video, so he had to lie about it. And you’ll notice there’s no video of any law enforcement officers.

Totally tasteless. A sad commentary on what our society has become.

Flying is boring and uncomfortable, even in first class, a little entertainment makes the flight better.
Hillers
I don’t find flights that boring. You watch a movie or some TV, play some games, do a little reading, do a little praying that your plane won’t get hijacked… It’s an adventure every time.
charlietex
Watching some douche waltz down the aisle in a speedo is not entertaining…unless you can throw stuff at him.

Folks…do we really need to reinforce the fact that even though a small per cent of our community is NELLIE the straight World has NELLIE stero-type for the majority of our community. Why ? Idiots like this.
The same reason straight families feel uncomfortable taking their children to Gay Pride events. They don’t want to subject their children to the lewd and crude of a few that pulls all of us into the fold.
We as a community stretch from Nellie to Butch. Just because we’ve ” won ” marriage acceptance doesn’t mean every Gay person is jumping on the bandwagon.
Flying is serious. People put bombs in their shoes. People who have died while flying after their aircraft was taken down leave behind a lifetime of hurt for so many. Games such as this should take in consideration a time and place for everything.
This idiot should be banned from ever flying again and do jail time so he can have Bubba ” work ” him like the bitch she is.

I just don’t understand the ego of some people. Flying is bad enough, and your bullshit speedo challenge was not appreciated. Stop whoring yourself for likes and followers.
