Russell Crowe lashes out at Virgin Australia over ban on hoverboards | Film | The Guardian

Quite a bit of entitlement mentality going on here.

 

[Duffa]

I think he should have been allowed to take them on board because he is a celebrity.

I think he should have been allowed to take them on board because he is a celebrity.

And since he is a celebrity the other people can die with glory because they'll die with him. Looks like he's still rabbiting on about drivel.

What an absolute buffoon. Entitled fool... i hate society sometimes

Rumour has it that he later returned to the airport carrying one of the hover-boards, and threw it at the VA check-in staff.

As a celebrity he'll get away with this.

 

[Wezza]

What an idiot. The whole hoverboard ban on airlines has been well publicized. Oh he's a celebrity, I forgot he should be allowed to take them.

 

[whatmeworry]

Ah Russell, still fighting around the world.

Lets all take a moment to remember that Rus is really a Kiwi and they are more than welcomed to him.

For his twitter'ing, I think his 2nd tweet of "I'm awaiting your reply, where is your duty of responsibility in this? Why not tell me when I am booking my ticket?" is where he falls flat on his face. Im guilty of not reading all the fine print but check your facts before you prove to the world that youre an idiot.

What an idiot, I've seen it mentioned numerous times on news channels and online lately.

 

[Simo]

Where was his private jet

I suppose to let everyone and anyone know he's alive and kicking. Somehow reminds me of bunga bunga man, Silvio B.

No thanks we don't want him being the cough he is...
He also doesn't want to be one of us as he proved with a major dummy spit when told by immigration that NO NZ CITIZEN CAN BECOME AN AUSTRALIAN . IT'S THE LAW!! Not even the ones with money and no class
:-D

Virgin Australia - A Russell Crowe free airline.

Now you are flying........

 

[KCMil]

I'm intruiged, this could create an awkward situation for the Rabitoh's. I had a look and it appears he's still a 50% shareholder of the team. Virgin Australia is a financial / commercial sponsor of the team.....talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

But I feel better for knowing that I'll not have to be put through sitting next to him on any flights.

Has VA blacklisted him?

 

[drron]

So he didn't notice the dangerous items page when he booked.Probably not as he has his very own Griselda to do all those mundane things-apologies to TH.
he therefore should be blaming his own staff if they did the booking not VA who make it abundantly clear in their baggage policy-

Lithium-ion (polymer) over 160Wh and Lithium metal over 8g

Electric bikes, Segway’s, recreational vehicles and battery packs

[KCMil]

Well, as so many people caught out for being in the wrong seem to do, he's sworn never to fly with them again. I guess he'll be using a bus, no other carrier here allows the boards either.

 

[kermatu]

Not only should we revere him as a celebrity, but he's done a great public service by telling the world that hover boards cannot be taken onboard. What a guy!
