Kevin Smith to fat too fly!!!!
 
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/0..._n_461803.html

evin Smith was delayed getting from Oakland to Burbank Saturday night because he was "too wide for the sky." According to the 'Clerks' and 'Jay & Silent Bob' director's Twitter, Southwest Airlines removed him from a flight after deeming him a safety risk.

"Dear @SouthwestAir - I know I'm fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?" Smith tweeted.

"I'm way fat... But I'm not THERE just yet," he continued. "But if I am, why wait til my bag is up, and I'm seated WITH ARM RESTS DOWN. In front of a packed plane with a bunch of folks who'd already I.d.ed me as 'Silent Bob.'"

Smith was given a $100 voucher and put on a different Southwest flight, from which he continued to chronicle his mistreatment:

"Hey @SouthwestAir! Look how fat I am on your plane! Quick! Throw me off!" he tweeted along with the picture below.

"The @SouthwestAir Diet. How it works: you're publicly shamed into a slimmer figure. Crying the weight right off has never been easier!" he continued. "Hey @SouthwestAir! I've landed in Burbank. Don't worry: wall of the plane was opened & I was airlifted out while Richard Simmons supervised."

Southwest Airlines has a "customer of size" policy, requiring passengers to buy a second seat if they cannot fit between the arm rests. When extra seats are available these passengers are given refunds or relocated free of charge.
Story continues below

The company has not ignored Smith's Twitter rant.

"I've read the tweets all night from @thatkevinsmith - He'll be getting a call at home from our Customer Relations VP tonight," it tweeted. "Again, I'm very sorry for the experience you had tonight. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do."

Oh graham, now he was fat in the day.

Now he's so fucking skinny... probably because he does laps of CHQ and cleans all the shit that the kids leave.

did you see his interview on The Hour? i've never seen anyone sweat like that infront of a live audience. his hair was soaking wet by the end of it

Well maybe this will be a wake up call... Either lose some weight... or fly private..

He regularly and openly admits he is fat.. Also recognizes his lack of motivation for physical activity and his penchant for processed foods.

He originally bought two seats for this flight in order to fit his bulk, but since it was oversold the airline took his second seat away, which then led to this incident.

they know they're fat, they just hate people stating the obvious, or being made a spectacle of.

I love when people say, "wow you're tall" :rolleyes: gee what gave it away? when i stepped over top of you?
