Seems all those fat jokes he makes about himself have come true.

[Rhinox]

ib4 all the fat jokes.


"Insert Fat joke here"

[Eaglestrike]

Maybe he should be less fat. I'm all for corporations not catering to the lazy fatass american. Sure, it's their right to be lazy and fat, but companies should also have the right to tell them to fuck off because they're lazy and fat.

no dude, its glandular baby fat genetics that make people fat not anything that they can control

[Kaylia]

Fat people can often control their fat, but it generally require more excercice than your average person. Unless you actually make an effort to stay healthy, blamming them make you an hypocrite.

[Drex]

I dont know about kicking them off the plane, but if you're fat enough to take up multiple seats then you should have to pay for them imo.

And you really can't tell me that most fat people in america are fat because of genes or hormones or whatever. Some are, but the majority are just lazy shits who think taking the stairs instead of the elevator counts as daily exercise, or ordering a diet coke with their large popcorn at the movies will trim their waistline.

I probably have similar lifestyle to many fat people, yet I'm not fat. I dont exercice much, I eat a lot, and spend most of my time in front of a screen.

Are you telling me that fat people exercice even less, and eat more?

I think a problem people have is they hear or read "genetic" when it comes to things like weight or addiction or anything like that is they assume that someone is trying to say it isn't that persons fault.

It comes down to certain predispositions, and certain things make it easier or harder to process certain things we intake. In some people, it's a matter of metabolism, and the food they eat isn't used as efficiently, or that it is easier for someone to become addicted to something quicker.

You can still have those predispositions and not get fat or become addicted, but it takes more effort than someone without the base issues. Like you, you may not burn a lot of calories by doing anything, but it's possible you just burn more than some people just by being awake, or that the food you eat gets digested with more of it being processed as waste and not as fat.

It's not that genetics can make you fat, it's that somewhere it your genes could be a little segment that just makes it easier for you than most, or harder to become fat. Or tall, or short, or bald, or have green eyes or blond hair. It's not always a guarantee if you have certain genes, but it certainly makes it easier to develop certain traits.

All that being said, sometimes people are just fat because they eat too much and exercise too little.

I understand. That's why I turned my argument around hoping it would get my point across better. I'm just trying to fight the stereotype that fat people are systematically doing "less effort" than the normal person.

I was trying to agree with your point, honestly. Everyone's metabolism is different, and it's an error to say that something like obesity can be linked to the same factors for every single person.

[ZarakiKujata]

This isn't his most embarassing fat story lol. When Zach and Miri came out he admitted that he had recently broken a toilet while taking a shit, and that was his wake up call to lose weight. Guess it didn't take.

Well he did say he was taking up one set and can put the armchair down so ya....

[Takedown3]

cant be bias'd if your fat your fat and gtfo of my plane

seriously tho kev is cool as shit and i love his standup and all the flicks but to anyone that has ever flied anything but biz/first class u will NOT want to get stuck next to the fat dude.

it's fucking disgusting, i dont want some fat ass'es greasey rolls touching me or my arms or my pillow. lose weight or get the FUCK off the plane. i don't care about your rights because i have my own.

[Pirian]

Kevin Smith isn't even that fat, lol, but shit is funny none-the-less

Idk man, it takes a lot to break a toilet.

Although it does look like hes lost some weight. Why was he never thrown off a plane when he was that fat?

I think the more pressing concern is also how fat people even fit into the restrooms on a plane.

[Lucavi]

Hilarity personified. I'm a thin guy (6'3 1/2" and a perpetual 180 lbs.) and I still freak out when I hit up taco bell once time to many and get a jelly roll on the stomach. That shit just feels... strange, and not to mention the jabs and pains that can follow it in the stomach.

Its easy for me to say "I don't understand how someone could get so fat", but its very easy to understand. Lots of fatty parents that got fat the same way that their kids are, lots of hot, processed foods paired with ice-cold drinks (to start congealing that fatty beef the second it gets in your stomach), and even if there's exercise added in, its nowhere near enough to stave off the massive portion sizes and sheer amount of fat and processed nastiness in what is readily available just about everywhere.

I'm no hypocrite myself: I just recently switched from carbonated drinks to green tea in an attempt to help to get my summer body ready, and am limiting myself to one fast food meal a week, and once every weekend. The portion control is the hardest part, because when I get bored, I want to eat, and I require a lot of stimulation to remain happy.

[Rhyis.]

While I definately wouldn't call Kevin Smith the epitome of health, I wouldn't call him overly fat either. I mean, he's got a gut. But if you saw him walk past you, you wouldn't think "Damn, that's a fat fucker right there".

Maybe all those baggy clothes are hiding it, I dunno.


Also, <insert fat joke here>.



Edit: After looking at the pic in the article Zaraki showed, I retract my statement. That's a fat fucker right there.

How much does he weigh? Since this is the first time I ever heard of someone being able to actually break a toilet due to their weight.

[Man0warr]

It was one of those toilets that come out of the wall, not like ones in your house with floor support. Entirely possible.
