Southwest Kicks Kevin Smith Off Flight For Being Too Fat

Rotund director and film producer Kevin Smith was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Los Angeles after crew members determined that he was two-seats-fat and insisted he buy a second seat. Not only did Kevin not agree he took to Twitter in an epic bitch fit.

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?

Dear @SouthwestAir, I flew out in one seat, but right after issuing me a standby ticket, Oakland Southwest attendant Suzanne (wouldn’t give

So, @SouthwestAir, go fuck yourself. I broke no regulation, offered no “safety risk” (what, was I gonna roll on a fellow passenger?). I was

Wanna tell me I’m too wide for the sky? Totally cool. But fair warning, folks: IF YOU LOOK LIKE ME, YOU MAY BE EJECTED FROM @SOUTHWESTAIR.

Kevin was able to take another Southwest flight, but didn’t indicate if he had to purchase a second seat.

Sorry, but after spending my last flight next to a person of “extraness” that pulled up the arm rest so he could spill over into half my seat and smelled like a barn made out of bacon, on top of deciding to carry on his entire wardrobe, I have to say I’m Team Southwest. As evident by the pic above, Kevin is clearly in denial. Maybe they should sit fat people next to each other on planes.
