Well then, keep RyanAir away from me. It’s hard enough being on a plane without having mobile phones adding to the pressure.

I hear you, Ling. I’m dreading what seems like the inevitable mobile phone presence on planes.

One more reason not to fly Ryanair! (I’ve been boycotting since they left me stranded in Grenoble a few years ago anyway, but this only strengthens my resolve.)
Also - love that Esquire list. We do indeed make a mean animated short.

I liked the Canada list, too. Had no idea about the Canadian powers of the animated short.
