Showtunes Meet Seatbelts As Airlines Compete for 'Campiest Safety Video'

Airlines have now decided that the only way to distinguish themselves from their competitors is to make ever-campier safety videos. The newest clip from Virgin America hit the Internets today, and it has all of director John Chu’s trademark Step Up 2: The Streets subtlety.


This is all just waaaaaay over the top, and the “people who probably shouldn’t be rapping” joke is at least thirty years old.

These clips are a good way to get media attention in a hyper-competitive industry with shockingly low profit margins, and we’re glad the dancers and choreographers are getting paid.
