[Avodah] Is Body Paint Halakhically Clothing?

[Ilana Sober Elzufon]

The reason they need to make the video exciting is because most passengers
have flown on so many planes that they know all the safety information
already anyway and will not bother watching the video without the gimmick.

I seriously doubt that there is any information on the video that is not
printed on the card in the seat pocket in front of each passenger. Or that
would be difficult for an even slightly experienced flyer to understand if
he closed his eyes and just listened to the narrator. So I am not sure what
one would lose by not watching this video.

Are we looking for a heter to be amused by this clever presentation of
information we probably know already? I don't think one can plausibly claim
that the video will contribute appreciably, or at all, to one's chances of
surviving the flight.
