I think the folks at Air New Zealand are on to something. From today’s UK Telegraph:
Air New Zealand, the country’s national carrier, has made a safety video for its domestic routes which shows a pilot and cabin crew dressed only in body paint made to resemble their normal uniforms.
As the crew go through the motions, showing passengers what to do in the event of an emergency, their private parts are obscured by well-placed oxygen masks, life jackets, seat belts and luggage.
The 3-minute, 28-second “Bare essentials of safety” clip, and a similar 45-second television advertisment introduced six weeks ago, have had passengers glued to their mini television sets.
A copy of the briefing, which comes complete with a cheerful soundtrack of “Under My Skin,” by a New Zealand singer, Gin Wigmore, has been posted on YouTube and has attracted more than two million hits.
“Glued to their mini television sets.” I should think so.
And who says we don’t comment on compelling news here at BBL?
