The SlipQuit: Bring Out Your Inner Steven Slater

JetBlue's most famous flight attendant ever will not soon be forgotten, especially now thanks to the SlipQuit, a personal emergency slide you can use when you reach that Steven Slater breaking point.

Okay, so it's not a real product but it certainly would be awesome if it was! It's still hilarious, and it further demonstrates just how universal the feelings that Slater must have had are among the working class constituency.

Slater of course made headlines earlier this summer when he was the flight attendant on a JetBlue flight from Pittsburgh to New York's JFK airport. It's about a one hour flight that really shouldn't have any drama, but Slater went over the edge, grabbed two beers from the flight attendant cart, and opened the emergency slide as he literally ran away from his job.

It was, quite possibly, the coolest way that anyone has ever quit a job in the history of the world. He does face criminal charges but so what?

Of course, now that Slater is out of a job he will have a lot more time to watch TV infomercials...maybe something like the SlipQuit will become the next sensation. Until then, we're just waiting for JetBlue to update their safety information video to include the new instance when emergency plane slides might be inflated.
