[QUOTE]So much for flying the friendly skies.
Mallrats director Kevin Smith, 39, was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland, Calif. to Burbank, Calif. over the weekend because of his weight.
Smith (whose newest film, Cop Out, starring Bruce Willis, opens Feb. 26) posted more than 50 angry Twitter messages to his more than 1.6 million followers decrying the airline in the following 24 hours.
As he explained on the microblogging site, the plane's captain had him removed from a plane after he was deemed a "safety risk."
"I know I'm fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?" he ranted. "Again: I'm way fat... But I'm not THERE just yet. 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 airline offered him a $100 voucher as an apology (which he refused) and put him on another flight, but he still wasn't pleased.
"Thank God I don't embarrass easily (bless you, JERSEY GIRL training). But I don't sulk off either: so everyday, some new f**k-you Tweets for @SouthwestAir," he wrote. "You f**ked with the wrong sedentary processed-foods eater!"
Shortly after, he posted a photo of himself puffing out his cheeks and captioned it, "Look how fat I am on your plane! Quick! Throw me off!"[/QUOTE]

If being just that plump kicks you off an airplane, I'd like my money and arm-space back for a few times I had to sit next to someone two times fatter

Someone feed him a bit more so he'll die.
Also lol, Lost.
If you can fit in the seat without crowding other people you're fine. He was able to do this.
Bullshit man, bullshit.
He shouldn't be so angry, they probably had a [i]heavy[/i] conscience for kicking him out.
At least he's not suing.
This is the only fat person I feel for

"I've landed in Burbank. Don't worry: wall of the plane was opened & I was airlifted out while Richard Simmons supervised"
Haha I love Kevin Smith
This isn't going to sit well with him.

Your avatar makes your post hilarous.
But seriously, that's kind of bull.
I guess he wasn't supposed to be there today.
You do [b]not[/b] fuck with Kevin Smith like that.
The captain must have not have found his movies amusing.

If you think Kevin Smith is fat, just look at Michael Moore.
Witnesses? Generally people don't get nicknamed when they go on flights.
If I had millions of dollars and weighed that much, I'd invest in a treadmill or something, you know?
He isn't even that fat. That captain is sort of :downs:
I've seen much fatter people than him on a plane. Maybe someone had a personal issue with his movies or something and used some half-assed excuse.

Because it's as easy as buying a treadmill
Wow, I just typed treadmill and 2 pounds flew out the window!
