Lucylastic -> Kevin Smith And Southwest (2/14/2010 12:37:39 PM)
|
Kevin Smith was delayed getting from Oakland to Burbank Saturday night because he was "too wide for the sky." According to the 'Clerks' and 'Jay & Silent Bob' director's Twitter, Southwest Airlines removed him from a flight after deeming him a safety risk.
"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?" Smith tweeted. "I'm way fat... But I'm not THERE just yet," he continued. "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.'" Smith was given a $100 voucher and put on a different Southwest flight, from which he continued to chronicle his mistreatment:theres lotsa stuff on twitter about it, but I fall into a coma 9 times out of ten when I go to twitter.
