The line between reality and representation gets more Chauncy Gardneresque–ON A PLANE:

A media watchdog group is criticizing Delta Air Lines for making the bloody HBO series “Rome” and other bawdy shows available for in-flight viewing after a passenger complained that children could see nudity and sex scenes.

Billy Ford, vice president of a Georgia chemical company, said the shows were aired on overhead movie screens during a May 6 flight from Atlanta to Dusseldorf, Germany. He complained after watching three scenes of nudity or sex on “Rome” and another on “Da Ali G Show.”

“I was really upset,” said Ford, 46, of Acworth, about 35 miles northwest of Atlanta. “I demanded to see the captain.”

Delta officials say the programs were intended as an option for viewing on private screens in the back of the airplane’s seat and were shown on the public overhead screens by mistake.

Also on Delta:

Delivering a baby in an aisle of a plane isn’t an easy thing to do,” one of the doctors, Dr. Robert Vincent, a pediatric cardiologist with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, said Friday.

Vincent said the baby weighed about seven pounds. His name wasn’t available.
