Actor ALEC BALDWIN was thrown off his flight for playing a game on his iPhone while the plane was idling and waiting for take-off. Fortunately for the airline and unfortunately for this Baldwin brother, he loved his “Words With Friends” game app so much, he was willing to leave the aircraft for it…
Talk about extreme addiction. Celebrity gossip websites found out the “30 Rock” actor had some words with a flight attendant at an American Airlines flight bound for New York over turning off his mobile device before take-off, and since Baldwin was in the middle of a particularly challenging word game, he adamantly refused to do so.
Well, at least he wasn’t booted out for wearing sagging pants, or for pissing on the plane aisle. And thank Apple it wasn’t one of those inane games like “Angry Birds.” We’d rather be thrown off a plane for our addiction to a cerebral game app than for anything else…unless the TSA discovered a bomb on our iPhone, that is.
“He loves ‘Words with Friends’ so much that he was willing to leave a plane for it,”
Baldwin‘s spokesperson was later quoted as saying.
However, the debonaire actor just wasn’t content to be docile about the whole situation, game addiction or no game addiction.
“Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving.”
Baldwin tweeted three hours ago.
“But, oddly, 30 Rock plays inflight on American.”
he mocked.
“Last flight w American.”
Baldwin vowed in disgust.
“Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950′s find jobs as flight attendants.”
Oh, well. When you love your ‘Words with Friends,’ you really love your ‘Words with Friends’. And no airline in the world who doesn’t love it with you will enjoy your patronage.
Sorry, American Airlines, but you’ll never see Alec Baldwin on your flight roster again…
