Narrative:

2 male passenger seated in aft section of coach observed to be viewing pornographic material by flight attendant #2. (Though I was on the cart with her, I did not actually see the magazine, as I was on the other end.) she asked them to put this away, as it was inappropriate on an airplane. A male passenger across the aisle volunteered to her that he also found it offensive. They argued with her briefly about this and made it clear they weren't happy about it, but put it away. They made several snide and provoking comments in the next hour, which we largely ignored. We were picking up the styrofoam baskets in which breakfast was served, when another male passenger (same one who took offense to their magazine) quietly pointed out something on the baskets. On one, they had made a graphic drawing of male anatomy. On the other, they wrote 'air carrier X sucks it.' flight attendant #2 carried these to the captain, who came back to talk to the passenger involved. Prior to that, I told them after seeing the baskets, quietly and calmly, that there were expected rules of behavior on airplanes and that it was in their best interest to abide by these. As captain yy turned to walk away, one of the passenger called him a 'jackass.' upon landing, the incident was briefly described to the gate agent by flight attendant #2, who also showed her the baskets. The gate agent, apparently, contacted customer service and I was later told that they were refused further travel on to their connecting flight, because of 'sexual harassment.'
