Kevin Smith Is Soooooo Fat (How Fat Is He?)
Kevin Smith is apparently so fat that Southwest Airlines threw him off a flight for apparently being too damn chunky for the skies. Which strikes me as kinda odd, considering that he really isn't all that obese, but to be fair, I also think nail-clippers are harmless and that flagging people for having a "personal rectal sanitizer" is completely freaking ridonkadonk. But I guess that's why I don't work for Southwest now, is it?"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.'"
"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." (Source)
I mean for fark's sake here, the guy isn't exactly petite, but you'd need some serious cojones to kick him off a plane when almost a quarter of Americans are obese. It's not like the guy has to ride around on a scooter with a KFC Famous Bowl while his fat folds jiggle about. On the plus side, he can take solace in the fact that no matter how embarrassing this is, it still won't be nearly as embarrassing as Cop Out.
Frankly, if he fit in the tiny seat with the armrests down, I don't see the problem.
Depends on how much of Kevin was under the armrests and into the next seat. Having sat next to someone on a cross country flight who was definitely oozing over into my seat made for what has so far been the the most uncomfortable 6 hours of my life.
Southwest should just make the seats a little bigger. I think everyone would benefit from that.
If you make the seats bigger, you've got "First Class" and you pay for it. I need economic air fares and decent service and SouthWest is as good as it gets these days. Like Susan I've had the Oozer seated next to me. It is miserable. Just because we're a nation of porkers doesn't mean the airlines can't set limits.

Hi - quality write-up. Personally, I've generally been a fan of the Primal Blueprint. It is much more natural and how Mother Nature intended for us to eat.
