As you already know if you saw his hundreds of tweets or heard his podcast, Kevin Smith boarded a Southwest flight Saturday from Oakland to Burbank, took his seat, and then was approached by a flight attendant. She asked about his weight and wanted to know if he fit between the armrests on either side. He did, but she told him he was too fat and kicked him off the plane anyway.
“I broke no regulation, offered no ’safety risk’. I saw someone bigger than me on THAT flight! But I wasn’t about to throw a fellow Fatty under the plane as I’m being profiled. But he & I made eye contact, & he was like ‘Please don’t tell…’”
Southwest says it was a matter of safety. They also assume they’re going to crash.
“…a timely exit from the aircraft in the event of an emergency might be compromised if we allow a cramped, restricted seating arrangement.”
I think most would agree that Smith is, um, “plus sized”, but no more so than 200 other waddling asses you could see at the mall right now. Maybe the problem is Southwests slave-ship style seating. Do you really want to fly on an airline where the line between life and death in an accident is this tight. If Kevin Smith is a safety risk, maybe they should widen the god damn aisles and fatty-proof their planes a little better. If anything, I’d rather fly on a plane stuffed with fat people, because I feel like it might bounce if we crashed.
They could have distributed the weight evenly if they put snookie on the opposite side of the isle.
Tits.
But wrong gender.
I love this guy’s movies. There should be another Jay & Silent Bob…and Clerks II was priceless.
K Smith is a jackass!
Deebs, did you see Zack and Miri make a porno? There was one scene about anal that is awesome.
Good day, all. Rusty, the girl in your avi has large boobs. Not sure if that was something you had noticed.
Re: Snooki pictures. I have a hard time believing she could hunker down on all-fours and not have her gut sag like an orange garbage bag full of motor oil. Same for K Smith, but I hate to think of that … **marfs**
Yeah because so many airplane emergencies don’t result in the deaths of everyone on board.
kevin smith isn’t that fat.
Woods, I said the basically thae same thing about Snookie, but the garbage orange bag filled with motor oil hit it right on the head.
The chick in my avi DOES have big boobs. I was too busy noticing the sunset in the background. Her name is Eve Wyrwal. Worth looking up.
*orange garbage bag
Rusty, I saw that movie. It was goddamn hilarious! And that anal scene was priceless. The camera man just covered in doo-doo butter, haha!
“If anything, I’d rather fly on a plane stuffed with fat people, because I feel like it might bounce if we crashed.”
NPD has his moments. I gotta give him props for that.
Rusty, this my come as a surprise but I’m gonna marry the lovely Eva Wyrwal very soon.
Kevin Smith is fat:

and I would not want to sit next to him on a flight - fat people ooze over the arm rest and they smell wierd, like too-old bacon.
DB: NPD’s comment wrt Snooki was also funny “I’m surprised she’s only been punched once”.
Deebs, that scene made me bust a gut.
Tito, you’d better hurry up because I am quitting my job for the sole puporse of stalking her. She will be mine.
*purpose….godammit.
Rusty, I just cut off my ear to send to her as a token of my never ending love.
new up
I replied to one of this tweets and asked him to do the truffle shuffle.
I think he should do it given the situation but he’s been too rude to even reply let alone do it. I’m not impressed with the fatty.
