Kevin Smith kicked off Southwest flight for not exercising

Kevin Smith kicked off Southwest flight

The big news of the day seems to be that Kevin Smith is too fat. I know that's not a real surprise to anyone with functioning eyes, but it's suddenly newsworthy today because he was kicked off a Southwest flight yesterday for violating the company's "Customer of Size" policy. From AP:

After a storm of angry online comments from Smith and his fans, the airline issued an apology first from its own Twitter account and later in a statement on its Web site titled "Not So Silent Bob," a jovial jab at the Silent Bob character Smith plays in many of his films.

Both Smith and the airline acknowledged that he had bought two seats for his original flight from Oakland, where he had spoken at the Macworld Expo conference. But he was flying standby in order to catch an earlier flight, and only one was available.

Smith insisted that he was still able to put both armrests down and buckle his seat belt, which is Southwest's standard.

Of course Kevin went apeshit on his Twitter after being booted. A sampling:

Articles say I was given $100 @SouthwestAir voucher. It was OFFERED: the way a john tosses a hooker a c-note after a hate-fucking. Said no.

Dear Other Airlines (including Oceanic, sans Flight 815): I'm in the market for a flight east this Thurs. Which one of you likes fat people?

Hey @SouthwestAir! I've landed in Burbank. Don't worry: wall of the plane was opened & I was airlifted out while Richard Simmons supervised.

The @SouthwestAir Diet. How it works: you're publicly shamed into a slimmer figure. Crying the weight right off has never been easier!

Wait a minute, why is Kevin Smith flying Southwest? That dude has directed like 20 films. Shouldn't studios be shuttling him around on a private jet or something? I think the only possible explanation for him slumming it on Southwest is that he was in the duty free shop eating assorted chocolates and was in such a state of bliss that he missed his First Class flight on Delta. Again, that is pure conjecture, but it does seem to be supported by facts . . . and by "facts" I mean "his girth."

Kevin Smith isn't fat but Southwest should kick him for being a mediawhore a-hole.

Did anyone call him fat yet? You know, because it's cool to call other people fat on the internet, because I am most certainly not fat. Well, I'm sort of fat. When I sweat it smells like cheese. Good cheese though, REAL Velveeta, not the generic store crap.

I am also only mostly fat. So I can still look down upon you. Unless you hide near my feet. That would be cheating. We all know it's urban legend to be able to see your own feet without a system of pulleys and mirrors.

But I'm still going to call Kevin Smith fat. Because I can. Fat fat fatty. Like K-Fed fat. Oh yeah, I went there. What's he gonna do? Hunt me down and give me cash? He is? Holy crap! I loved you in Half Ton Teen! That was you, Kevin Smith, right? You fatties all look alike.

So, maybe we should change it to:

Jay and Silent Blob?

Fat celeb idiots should be charged 10 times mor just for the attitude.

It would be my luck to have a hog spilling over the armrests and into my $49.99 seat. STFU - walrus boy!

Who gives a rats ass if this fucking FAT ASS got tossed off of a plane!

Maybe he could lose some of that tonnage or start flying MAC (Military Airlift Command), they use C-130s for their flights and he could probably squeeze his rotund buttocks inside one of those.

Besides, if God had wanted Elephants to fly he would have given them wings. Eat Shit Kevin, it's low in calories!

In 2006 Rob Grant wrote about something very similar happening in a near future in his novel 'Fat'. It was fiction then but it's come true. Sad.

Holy Christ Almighty, shut the fuck up, you fat fucking faggot! Maybe you should try not going for fourths, you gluttonous pig. Do the words "self control" hold any meaning for you, Galactus? With this little twitter-bitchfest, you went from being a cool guy to being a morbidly obese crybaby. Awe, give the little baby another donut, that will make him feel better.

P.S.,

You fat fuck.
