Kevin Smith......

.... got kicked off of a plane for being too fat.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Movi....html?hpt=Sbin

If he is considered to be too fat to fly in a southwest plane I know a lot of people who are going to be in trouble the next time they buy tickets, lol.

lol and hes fat ass couldnt afford a first clas?

but he used twitter and facebook to make sw look like douches

They are in the right, anybody who has had to sit next to a grossly fat person, especially on a plane knows what I mean. He bought two tickets, but was allowed to board an earlier flight due to an opening...but once he was on they said he was too fat to occupy only the space of a single seat. Maybe he should eat some more broccoli and take some walks.

The timing is convenient, considering another one of his mediocre movies is opening soon.

well it is kind of BS, they are making the seats smaller to cram more people on every flight. I am 6'2" and my knees are constantly being jammed into the seat in front of me. The use security threats to keep you from being a bottle of water along with you and charge you $3.00 to get one after the security gate. They are charging you $10 now if you want a pillow or blanket on your fight, they no longer serve any meals on long flights and now are going to charge you for your first bag of luggage. They are fricken nickle and diming you for every possible thing they can.

Not SouthWest, they are a very good airline and I don't think it's an airlines responsibility to feed me on a flight. You're tall, that's not the airlines fault, the restrictions on liquids is a government decision and if you think 3 dollars is alot for a bottle of water you must not have been to a Movie, Zoo, Museum, sporting event etc etc.

This isn't the 50's when traveling in an airplane was a luxury and people who could actually afford to fly wore their Sunday best. It's hillbillies, people in sweatpants, crying kids and morbidly obese people every where you look who want things cheap, cheap cheap. It's turned into a flying Greyhound bus. I just want to get on and get off safely, I don't want some preservative packed tuna roll or whatever garbage they would serve and I don't want an obese person next to me with his "presence" spilling into my space.

guess what, all those "amenities" that they use to give us but no longer are.....then why are we still being charged on our ticket for them. If you are going to charge me for an airline meal, then I better get it.
Its just another example of the fleecing of america.

He does look a bit chunkier than usual.. but I've got his back. Kevin smith is the ing man

lol and hes fat ass couldnt afford a first clas?

I know what you mean but there are many rich people who probably wouldn't see the point of buying first class. I know my uncle would be one of them.

I'm sure kevin smiths opinions will change after this.

To me this is kinda BS when I picture someone too fat to fly i would picture the fattest of the people on biggest loser or some ridiculous automatic wheelchair hillbilly. Kevin Smith is fat, sure, but hes not that ridiculous. I have flown a lot on southwest and never really had some fat person sitting next to me bother me unless they were absolutely morbidly obese.

What about people who are really tall (like 6'5" or taller), body builders, samoans, or football players who are both ridiculously buff and tall. Are all of they going to be banned from flying as well? One of my friends is like 6'7" and isn't fat yet probably is wider than kevin smith.

Southwest doesn't have first class I don't believe.

correct

I don't fly Southwest anymore. I'm 6'4 and i can hardly get my knees in. My knees cramp and lock up now from football.

Jesus, Kevin SMith is a big dude, but he ain't that big. This airline reminds me of Jetstar, it may be cheap but the seats are tiny, the pathways are tiny, everything is tiny.

He's also obviously used this airline before, so howcome only now can he not get on?
