Their corporate attitude (RIAA affiliation notwithstanding) is enlightened and very with it. My Virgin cellular service is such a breath of fresh air compared to the shackles of Fido and Rogers. As for BoingBoing TV, when is it coming to Miro? And when is Miro coming to Virgin Air? For that matter, how about some participatory culture aboard a Virgin airliner? Passengers could flightcast Wheels On The Bus in a round or something to other planes! I can’t wait to find an excuse to fly on Virgin.

They never turned on the chat feature on their in-flight entertainment systems, on either flight. Has anyone actually used it yet? Did they disable for some reason?

But even on a full flight during the day, I was the only person ever in any chat room, and I checked mulitple times.

We want BBtv to not be *too* NSFW for much of our audience who view it at work, or in other shared environments. Nobody's telling us where the boundaries are, and nobody's "censoring" us. We're just trying to sort out what makes sense for our audience/community/victims. XJ @Cowicide, that’s actually not why we blurred the x-rated bits.
