A prescient video about the airline industry?

A lot of people think of 2008 as the year of the fee among the major airline carriers, when they began charging for everything from peanuts and water to luggage. We're constantly speculating about what new costs might be on the horizon: Pay toilets? A surcharge for fat people? A fee for booking a ticket online?

Given what skinflints the airlines have become, this 2007 skit from Mad TV looks prescient, as if it knew that things were about to become pretty ridiculous for air travelers.

Can things get worse?
