And you thought the American legal system was out of control:
Passengers on a flight from France to Mauritius have filed suit against Air France after musician Bonnie Tyler performed a song at the request of the co-pilot.
The passengers, believed to be Belgian, complained to the airline after the Welsh singer performed part of her 1983 hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart” at the request of the co-pilot, who retired after the flight, The Mail on Sunday reported.
Oh, those wacky Belgians! How were they harmed by the performance?
The complaining passengers reportedly claimed they were traumatized by the experience and had feared for their safety during the celebration.
Ridiculous. But if Cher had sung “If I Could Turn Back Time” — well, that’s a different story…*
