Spirit Airlines to institute pay toilets and seat belt surcharges on all flights

By Pablo Fanque,

All This Is That National Affairs Editor
Fact checking and research by Jack Brummet

As you may recall, All This Is That has recently been researching a story on airline surcharges and fees.  Pablo Fanque received a call (and tip) from a senior manager at Spirit Airlines Monday afternoon.  The manager, who had been a source for Fanque on aspects of the articles on airline fees, called to tell him that Spirit Airlines recently decided to impose additional fees and charges on its passengers.  

"As you know," the source told Fanque, "we have positioned ourselves as the 'ultra low-cost' airline (ULCC).  It wasn't much of a leap to go from charging for carry-on bags to charging for other, well, services."    The source disclosed that Spirit Airlines is about to impose a modest ($5.00)  fee for seat belt rentals on all flights. 

In addition, the airline will begin charging a fee for use of the toilets on their aircraft.  On all flights lasting longer than two hours, patients will be given a voucher card, good for one visit to the restrooms.  After that "complimentary" visit, all passengers will be required to use debit cards to unclock the toilets.  While the fee is also modest ($1.00 for five minutes), the manager did indicate they expect pushback from the public. "However, even our $45 carry-on baggage charge has met with far less resistance than we expected.  We ARE the cheapest airline in the country. . .and we intend to keep it that way."  Since receiving the call from our source, we have verified the story with two other highly placed executives, as well as a member of the Spirit Airlines Board of Directors.

Calls--and nine emails--placed to three other major airlines, asking for comment, were not returned.

a 1965 PSA about radiation, nuclear attacks, and farmers--performed by cheap paper-mache marionettes

This 1965 public service announcement by the U.S. Civil Defense office instructs farmers about what to do in case of nuclear attack.  The bizarre film uses marionettes, that as one person commented, appear to have been crafted by a third grade class.  Incredibly enough, our government broadcast this film throughout the midwest, and distributed 600 16 mm copies of the film. 

alien Lore No. 169 - Fireball, or a Grey flyby in the Midwest?

By Jack Brummet
Paranormal and unexplained phenomena editor

[ed's note:  Thanks to Jeff Clinton for the tip]

911 switchboards lit up recently in several Midwest states with reports of a gigantic UFO, or fireball streaking across and lighting up the sky, the National Weather Service said.  The National Weather Service also got hundreds of calls about the object, as well as reports of sonic booms. 

The object was in sight for nearly 15 minutes at around 10 PM.  about 10 p.m.,  "The fireball was seen over the northern sky, moving from west to east," said the weather service in the Quad Cities area, which encompasses parts of Iowa and Illinois.  A CNN video of the UFO/fireball has been made available:



According to NASA, a meteor appears when a meteoroid -- a particle, a stone, or even a piece of Russian or American space junk enters our atmosphere from outer space [ed's note:  outer space is generally considered to begin about 60 miles from earth, or roughly an hour's drive...if your car could go straight up].

"Air friction heats the meteoroid so that it glows and creates a shining trail of gases and melted meteoroid particles," it said. "People sometimes call the brightest meteors fireballs."
The fireball/UFO was seen across parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana Wisconsin, and possibly Ohio as well.

A video from WISN TV shows a huge ball of light streaking across the sky.   Doppler Radar shows a smoke trail from the fireball at just after 10 p.m.   It was unknown if any part of a meteorite [UFO/failed satellite/cosmic hiccup/whatever it was] hit the ground.

Perversion for Profit, a great "educational" film funded by Charles Keating in the 60's

Wow.  Another gem from the public domain Prelinger Archives, Perversion for Profit is a rabidly anti-pornography film produced by none other than financier Charles Keating (who was later disgraced as a central figure in the collapse of savings and loan banks...in our previous banking crisis). The film attempt to link porn to the Communist conspiracy and, of course, the decline of this Western civilization.

Citizens for Decent Literature, Inc. sponsored this educational film. We'll be posting part II tomorrow.

This video is well-loved by ephemera/PSA/instructional/demo like me, in no small part due to its narrator, George Putnam, a star right-wing newscaster in the 60's  Needless to say, the tone borders on hysterical and the "facts" are, well, thin and unattributed, and Putnam's delivery is responsible for about half of the most unintentionally hilarious moments in the short.

Is Seattle the Bangkok of international beast-sex tourism? Feds uncover a new NW sex farm.

By Jack Brummet, All This Is That Social Mores and Ethics Correspondent with additional research by Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor, Illustration by Jack Brummet

 Is Seattle the Bangkok of international beast-sex tourism?  Well, you do have to wonder, with this weeks latest news of British tourists visiting the Seattle area.  Apparently, the sex farm advertised heavily in European and British publications and websites.

International Animal Sex Ring Discovered in Whatcom County

"Federal investigators have uncovered an international sex ring that involves farm animals in Whatcom County.


Agents say people from around the world were invited to stay at the farm near Sumas and abuse the animals.

"This is an extremely bizarre case and very shocking for seasoned law enforcement people," said Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo.

Elfo says dogs, horses and mice were seized from Spink's property. The mice had their tails cut off, were smothered in Vaseline and had to be euthanized [ed's note: we really appear to be "euthanizing" the wrong parties in this case].

You can read the entire story here, on MyNorthwest.com.

As you may or may not know, Pablo Fanque and Jack Brummet have previously (and perversely) covered this topic extensively on All This Is That.  Some links to previous articles and postings:

The Aurora Bridge Is About To Acquire A Suicide Prevention Fence. Thank you WSDOT!

The Aurora Bridge is about to acquire a suicide barrier.  Hallelujah!  This makes me so happy.

The Aurora Bridge is the second most "popular" suicide site in the United States...right behind the Golden Gate Bridge.  230 people have killed themselves at the bridge since it was built.    Those "choose life" stickers on the light pole haven't really helped.  Thank you Seattle and Washington State for finally doing this.  From mynw.com:

Work to begin on Aurora's suicide prevention fence



Construction on a fence aimed at preventing people from jumping off Seattle's Aurora Bridge begins next week. Construction will begin Monday night and last four to six weeks until crews begin working during the day June-December. The noise is expected to be so loud that nearby residents have been offered industrial-strength earplugs.

According to a flier sent to neighbors, "You may hear tools such as wood saws, compressed air drills, generators, power wrenches and other construction equipment." However, the Washington State Department of Transportation said it's trying to reduce the nose by using portable noise shields on generators and use ambient back up alarms on equipment. Call the WSDOT if you need earplugs 206-267-6019



The 8-foot, 9-inch steel fence is designed to keep people from committing suicide by jumping from the 167-foot high span. The WSDOT said the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline finds the "use of bridge barriers is the most effective means of bridge prevention suicide" and the method has been successful on the Bloor Street Viaduct in Toronto, the Memorial Bridge in Augusta, the Colorado Street Brdige in Pasadena, the Duke Ellington Bridge in Washington D.C., and the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England.

Crews will being installing the actual fence structure in late summer or early fall. They expect to finish the project in late 2010 or early next year.

The WSDOT said the original budget for the fence project was $8.1 million, but it was revised to $4.6 million. The project was funded through the gas tax.
