Even though I think he is totally wrong for making a big deal over this, you're totally right. The name calling and making fun is totally inappropriate.

agree.

They are putting the squeeze on peoples' wallets & bodies. They want to jam as many of us on the plane as possible, but they also want to minimize the weight that they carry to save gas. I believe they would put weight restrictions on us if they were allowed to--like, penalties for being above 160 lbs or something.

Ultimately they wish we were all little people, paying the same price, causing them to use less gas.

In fact this "buying two seats" thing might make sense if you weighed 400 lbs, literally as much as two large people, but I think they are trying to make flying uncomfortable enough for all of us that more people might be inclined to buy two seats. One person buying two tickets is less weight, more money for them. I've considered it, just for comfort.

Thanks for posting that link. I think I'm hooked. He referenced Silence Of The Lambs during his story ...He's OK in my book now.

No reasonable person in a restaurant orders two meals and expects to pay for one.

By the same token, no reasonable person on an airplane who spreads his considerable bulk over more than one seat should expect to pay for just one seat.

That may sound harsh to some, but so goes the free market of goods and services.

We find it hard, then, to work up sympathy for movie director Kevin Smith, who was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight Saturday because he was considered too overweight to fit in one seat.

Smith says Southwest discriminated against him for being too fat to fly, but the truth is that a plane has only so much space. For every extra inch of space Smith took up, his seatmate lost an inch.

We know people who are overweight don't have it easy. And many are treated unfairly on the job and in social settings. But on a plane, as so often in life, we really should pay for what we get.

I wonder what kind of car he drives. Just trying to picture him getting in and out....or maybe just getting in.

Wow, what an obscure reference; was it a movie or something?

Bottom line is, he's not only talentless, but he's fat because he stuffs his face with junk and has no semblance of self control. He apparently even knows he's over the limit if he typically buys two tickets, apologetics be damned. I wish Southwest called him out for the lazy lump of flesh he is.

He sounds like a freaking a-hole to me. He called Southwest the "Greyhound Bus" and "Welfare Airlines" and now he wants sympathy from them.

Tool.

Southwest has waaaaay too much class to do that.

Fat guys are hot!

SCNDLS said:

Fine fine.

But is he too fat to fuck? Cause I think he's cute.

TheVoid said:

He really is cute.

DesireeNevermind said:

I wouldn't look twice at him passing by on the street.

But when he starts talking, I just melt sometimes.

TheVoid said:

he and bill maher aren't the best looking fellas but they've got conversation for days. sexy ass voices.

^ plus I would assume good weed.

lazycrockett said:

well of course.

DesireeNevermind said:

"...you get type 2 diabetes."


?? Is that the saying?

Seriously this guy is an idiot. I certainly wouldn't want a stray fold of stomach from the seat next to me taking up room on my dinner tray.

He has three choices. Buy two seats if they are available; don't fly; lose weight. Pretty simple.

DesireeNevermind said:

Okay, now Bill could sho nuff get it cuz he got mad game, period. Kevin do got the gift o' gab, when he's not sounding like a jerk, but game???? Hell to tha naw!

This fathead needs to shut up and lose some weight.
