Zynga’s popular mobile word puzzle game has earned itself the sort of publicity money can’t buy, with actor Alec Baldwin preferring to get himself kicked off an American Airlines flight than stop playing Word With Friends.
Taking to Twitter to voice his outrage over being asked to stop playing his little game like all the polite normal people on the flight, Baldwin said: “Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving,” adding the hashtag “#nowonderamericaairisbankrupt” to the tweet to underline his fury.
It’s perhaps not the entire truth of the matter, though, as one other traveller who was on the same flight tweeted that Baldwin was being abusive to the flight attendant. Hopefully someone will soon unearth the Twitter ID of the attendant involved for another take on this childish outrage. [Yahoo! via Gawker]

Actually “Being a Dick Gets Alex Baldwin Kicked off Aeroplane” would be a more accurate headline.
Depends on who Gary is talking about Alec Baldwin(born Alexander, brother to Stephen,Will and Daniel) or Alex Baldwin(actor of such well known titles as; “How i Banged your mum”, “The Big Gang Bang theory” and “Donkey Dong”)
You got a point there, the title says Alex and the article says Alec. I am assuming it is Alec.
I meant Alec
At least we’re now #1 on Google for Alex Baldwin.
Haha, all good
I wasnt #correcting. Alex is correct too I suppose as it is his birth name. I beleive Alex (the porn actor) now refers to himself as Lex Baldwin.
Presumably because he doesn’t want to be associated with a professional dick
Whenever I hear of Alec Baldwin I think of Jack Donaghy from 30 Rock. So the scene that plays in my mind is Donaghy getting thrown out for being a dick and calling Liz to complain
He just didn’t want to fall asleep and get Incepted.
