kevin smith booted of a flight

[cubsfirstplace]

So apparently kevin smith was kicked off a southwest flight for being too fat and now he's pissed. you'd think he could to at least fly american airlines but whatever. i've seen people who were a lot fatter than him on flights.

[NicRN77]

I heard about this last night. He is quite large...but I don't think THAT large to get kicked off a flight!

It must of been a big boot and a large parachute

[Audio.]

hahah^ Maybe he can use his big ass trenchcoat for safe landing.

Anyway, really? For being husky? *face palm

I love Kevin Smith - thus why I had my alias as TonsOfFun for a while. Sorry for the lame joke.

I've not read the story although seen the headlines and I assume that he booked a flight not reading the small print that being X amount of weight or size you need tell them or book a different seat.

It does suck - why didn't he book first class, surely there is ample room on there - he must be rich enough. He must take planes enough to broadly know their procedures?

he actually bought 2 tickets for a later flight. but he went on an earlier one with only 1. he said he could put his seatbelt on.

Southwest airlines has no firstclass or coach, its just one equal shit class.

Hey find his podcast online, they played some of it on opie and anthony this morning and he explains what happens.

I don't see the big deal really until I saw that Southwest posted their apology with the title "NOT SO SILENT BOB".

That's a little ridiculous and offputting.

First they came for silent Bob, and I remained silent...

So apparently...

Smith — the Red Bank-born director known for his "Silent Bob" character in "Clerks" — unleashed a barrage of more than 200 Twitter posts and produced a lengthy podcast slamming Southwest for kicking him off the plane for being too obese to fit in his seat.

"I’m way fat, but I’m not there just yet," Smith twittered.

Smith says he purchased two seats for comfort for himself on the Oakland-Burbank flight. But he arrived at the airport early and got the last standby seat on an earlier flight. Once he was seated, he says a flight attendant told him the pilot had determined him a safety risk and asked him to leave— even though he fit in the seat with the armrests down.

Either there isn't a specific enough guideline for who needs an extra seat or the person at the desk was too star struck to notice he was a husky fella.

[roosta]

he should be booted out of the Director's Guild for making shit films.

You can hear what he has to say (http://smodcast.com/finalwords/), or just read the always reliable news outlets
