    I'm fairly sure they're the only Airline in the world that could get away with stuff like this :)

    I'd love to see a Japan airline do it.

    Oh the humiliation and shame to come! :p.

    They'd do it with Sailor Moon, though.

    At present it's not that on board. They have a mangled combination of this one, the mad about rugby one, and the nothing to hide one. It's actually really cringeworthy I find.

    I guess I just prefer a more professional safety demo (although the nothing to hide one was great;))

    You're comparing Apples (Simmons) to Oranges (Nothing to hide)...

    The nothing to hide was very clever though ;)

    I thought I was seeing things when I watched the safety video on NZ yesterday.
    This guy may have been big in the 80s, but now?

    And those short shorts :eek:

    i'd much rather see this than some CEO talk up his airline and discuss how "important" each of us are, while the future will prove otherwise in diminished benefits.

    give me Richard Simmons over the corporate ***hats any day. he's way over the top, but he's helped countless individuals better themselves over the past several decades. that's more than Anderson or Smisek have done for humanity

    I saw a different version of this on my SYD-AKL-SYD flights this last week, which included the rugby players, the body painted employees and a lot less Richard Simmons. I thought it was hysterical. It's especially funny after you've been flying 19 hours. I watched it again on the return flight for the details I missed the first time around. I also would prefer to watch this rather than the Smisek videos.

    This video is more similar to the video I saw than the one above.
