The commander of a US aircraft carrier has come under fire for having his crews watch videos he produced with slurs against gays, scenes with simulated masturbation, and service members showering together. Captain Owen Honors apparently played the videos for laughs during deployments of the USEnterprise, but some sailors were offended, said the Virginia-Pilot, which first reported on them. The newspaper, which posted on its website one of what were said to be dozens of videos, said they were produced in 2006 and 2007 and shown to the carrier's 6,000 sailors when Honors was the ship's No. 2 officer. "Over the years I've gotten several complaints about inappropriate materials in these videos, never to me personally but, gutlessly, through other channels," Honors said in the last video. "This evening, all of you bleeding hearts ... why don't just go ahead and hug yourself for the next 20 minutes or so, because there's a really good chance you're gonna be offended." Honors then proceeds to a segment in which he is filmed repeatedly using the "F" word, followed by another where he and others simulate masturbation to the song "Spank," and one in which two female sailors are depicted in a shower together. The navy said it was investigating. "The videos were intended to be humorous skits focusing the crew's attention on specific issues such as port visits, traffic safety, water conservation, ship cleanliness, etc," it said. AFP |
