Southwest Declares Kevin Smith Too Fat To Fly

theodp writes "Kevin Smith is not a happy Southwest customer. The director was thrown off a flight from Oakland to Burbank, after being deemed too fat to fly. He later wound up on another Southwest flight, but has declared It's On and taken his rants to Twitter. 'Dear @SouthwestAir — I know I'm fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?' he began. He also let the airline know he'd made it to his destination. 'Hey @SouthwestAir! I've landed in Burbank. Don't worry: wall of the plane was opened & I was airlifted out while Richard Simmons supervised.'"

for being a fat ugly bastard

There's being fat, and there's being stupid. One of which IS curable, sadly for you it ain't stupidity.

If Kevin Smith was thrown off the plane, then Southwest would have to bar most Americans.

"the fault of someone for being larger than average. "

Dear Hambeasts:
Cry me a river. The vast majority of fat fucks got there voluntarily. One reason there are probably so many of them is that it doesn't carry much social stigma, though it should.

If you don't respect yourself enough to manage your weight, I don't respect you or your deliberate infliction of your disgusting bloated carcass on others who use public transportation. May your diet kill you ASAP. If this hurts your feelings, have a consolation donut.
