VIVA LA REVOLUCION....introducing America's newest folk hero..media sensation..Jet Blue flight attendant STEVEN SLATER...
By now, you know the story. Rude passenger. Droppin F bombs--then the ultimate exit..deploy the emergency chute, grab two beers and SLIDE! Race home..get arrested, Become and overnight sensation, get released into a phalanx of photogs and press. Get over 150,000 Facebook followers in a day and a half.
Welcome to the new world. Many will try and assign reasons we have embraced this dude. I think it is simply untold frustrations with our own situations ; be it a work or the usually terrible flying experience, or whatever may drive us to the brink of rebellion!
Steven simply had enough. Think Samuel L Jackson in Snakes on a Plane: "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" or the great NETWORK from 1976 " I'm as MAD as HELL and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!" Was it wrong? technically yes. Dangerous? OK. maybe. but it has caught the attention of a frustrated, sick of rudeness and bad customer service fatigued nation.
I predict the late night talk shows. Movie deal. Reality show. its what we do these days. Heck if those clods on Jersey Shore can have a career..then go STEVEN!
and VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!
Mark Stevens
