The French and their odd cell-phone habits

Airlines have it bad enough without having to deal with skeezy French guys using their cell phones to photograph themselves sleeping next to hot girls. Doesn’t this guy know what cell phones do to airplane navigational equipment? Has he no decency? But I guess that’s par for the course in France, where even the bugs are oversexed.

they clearly establish that the plane hasn't taken off yet, so cell phone use would still be allowed.

Please consider it's just an ad and that french guys are not like that...
And she's not just a "hot girl". Her name is Emmanuelle Beart

She's a famous actress in France.
What will you do if you could seat near Jessica Alba or Scarlett Johansson ?

Gael, I'm well aware that most French guys aren't like that. My grandmother would slap me from heaven if I started thinking that way.
