Kevin Smith: Too Fat To Fly
“Cop Out” director Kevin Smith tweeted last night that Southwest Airlines had bumped him off an Oakland-to-Burbank jet because he was “too wide for the sky.” The airline’s “customer of size” policy is that extra-large types have to buy two seats to contain their ampleness. If there are no twins available on a given flight, you’re bumped. Smith was reportedly given a $100 voucher and put on a subsequent Southwest flight. Smith’s sample tweet: “Hey@SouthwestAir! Look how fat I am on your plane! Quick! Throw me off!” They did.
