"Silent Bob" Thrown Off Southwest Flight For Being Too Large

Honey, you have to change your lifestyle then so you can still run around with your grandchildren. You are very excited about having them anyway.

Only my wife calls me honey

People should be weighed like cargo and be charged accordingly like freight. We pay by the pound for everything else we ship, why not people, too. I'm tired of being penalized for being slim and trim!

Kevin Smith is the man, and I think this is an unfair statement - have the people saying this kind of thing watched or read any interviews or articles, or is it just based on the assumption that he happens to have money? The guy is one of the most down-to-earth filmmakers in the world.

He has every right to be offended by the airline - no one would be happy with planning your day around one flight, have that not work out even though it sounds like his seat was fine (I've read elsewhere he actually purchased three seats).

His health issues are his own, and that doesn't mean that the rest of the world gets to sit back and make fun of him (or any other celebrity's weight, over- or under-) but give the guy a break. Geeze.

I've watched him give a talk where he dissed Tim Burton. He came off very arrogant and I think it was around the time that Warner Bros. was looking to make Superman. He's made some interesting movies though.
