Kevin Smith Wages War Against "Fattist" Airline

[Guest]

because he's kevin smith a famous person from hollywood he deserves what he wants

it would be nice to know how the person sitting next to him felt about his blubber in their lap

Despite what happened, his blabbering on Twitter comes across as unprofessional. If he has an issue, he should take it up with the airlines directly.

I'm sorry for Kevin Smith for being thrown out of the plane. I don't mean to be mean but for someone who actually been sitted between two large people on a plane, it is pretty uncomfortable not being able to move, or get to the bathroom. I'm glad airlines started charging extra seat for large people that occupies two seats. Kevin Smith should not have changed flight if he could not get two seat in the other flight. He should have checked first. He complain about his treatment, but how about the other people that would have been sitted next to him?

Airlines though needs to make larger planes and makes seat more spaced out. Planes are just too crowded. This is why I hate to fly.

So, I guess with no republicans in office smith has had to turn his attention to another facet of American life.

Good to see he actually has some evidence this time.

dude southwest is a private company it can boot your fat lasy ass of the f**ken flight for ANY reason they want to, even for no reason

They used to have a little device near check-in where you could place a bag and if it fit, you could carry it on.

If they're going to be kicking people off of planes due to size, then maybe they should have one of those devices for people, too.

I don't think "fatties" is one of the target demographics for either party.

I read the news on another website.
The this is...

...saying he didn't fit properly in a single seat.

The fact is he doesn't fit proprely in his seat.
You could take airplane half on the seat like drive without any security bell... BUT IT DANGEROUS!!!
I don't think southwest have do something bad.
It's for his own security and he'll know it for the next time.

I think we all know the real reason Kevin Smith was booted, and it doesn't have to do with his weight. I think its proper procedure. He was booted for being famous while flying coach in a low budget airline. Imagine the insanity that might cause in the rear cabin!!!

It's SWA fault. He purchased 2 seats but when he switched to an earlier flight they put him in one. In which he was already seated with armrests down. And like he said, there was someone on there that was larger than he was.

Fat people is an oxymoron.
