Words With Alex Baldwin, I Mean, Friends
Well, we all know just how addicting some apps can be but we’re not sure if we’d go quite as far as Alex Baldwin who managed to get himself removed from his American Airlines flight rather than pause the game for a while.
Alex headed straight to Twitter, (so he did stop playing, to say), "Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving" and then added the hashtag “#nowonderamericaairisbankrupt”, just to emphaises his resentment.
We must admit Words with Friends is a great game and if you’d like to try it out – just make sure you’re not sitting on an aircraft at the time, you can download it here. It retails for $2.99/£1.99/download
