Kevin Smith Kicked off Southwest Flight for Being Fat

[SephYuyX]

Wow, he has gained a few since the past couple years, but he's still not as fat as the super fatties.

[Suited Aces]

Kevin is a huge pothead now. He's said that all he does is wake up in the morning, smoke pot and watch TV. He blames his weight gain on that.

[Correction]

Fat people fit into first class seats. Kevin is worth millions, he can't pony up a few bucks more to stay on a plane?

[Qalbert]

Going first class would start eating away at his budget.

I hardly doubt that many millions, none of his movies have broken like 30mill and most of that would go back to the weinsteins I assume. So I mean with the amount he eats, comics, video games, movies and at least 1 kid/wife he needs to save somewhere lol. Also he seems like a man of the people and would probably enjoy chilling with his fans in coach.

[SephYuyX]

Im pretty sure he was always a huge pot head.

I've only been skimming his tweets about the event, but I think it was only supposed to be an hour plane ride. For long flights, he goes first class, but for short flights he buys two regular seats. However, he changed flight times which put him on stand-by, so he wasn't able to get two seats. He was apparently able to fit in one seat(put the arm rest down) according to him though.

must be a liberal

[Qalbert]

I will support him in his silent protest.

Main problem Mr. Smith seems to have is that his diets are all optifast. basically, liquid starvation diets. It's no wonder he yo-yo diets all the time as eating nothing but diet shakes and no real food tends to make one overcompensate when they can get their hands on anything they actually like to eat.

He really needs to concentrate more on actually adjusting his lifestyle rather than crash dieting then going back to eating bad. But given the last time he tried to lose weight (in 2007) lasted all of maybe 2 or 3 months (and it's not the first time he's done that) I question whether or not he's got the willpower to actually make a real change.

He's said he doesnt have the will power/ability to change what he eats completely and that hes tried atkins before but after a while cant take it anymore when shit gets backed up in his colon lol

i remember hearing about a bet he made with Ethan Supplee (the fat guy from remember the titans, butterfly effect, american history x, etc) about who would lose more weight, and ethan won by a landslide. and he was a lot bigger and had more to lose too. if he did it, kevin could've too.

IMO, what fatties dont understand about staying thin, is the lifestyle itself. the only fast food i ate in the last year was subways. i never felt the need to eat 1 hamburger or KFC crap that was processed from chicken recycling their digestion with feces and chemicals. even if i had no money to eat organic, i'd rather get some eggwhites. cheap as hell, and last you for weeks. and its 100x better than eating foods that are just fattening and ridiculous for no reason. and you can make a million things out of it.

unless you're like Kaylia and genetically small, and have a fast metabolism, you'll never "just lose 15" lbs and stay that way. its a lifestyle change you HAVE to be consistent with. especially if you're morbidly obese now, you cant just rely on surgeries. or you'll just end up back on square 1.

Yes, but this lifestyle is typically american. If they were going out of their way to eat greasy foods, I could understand people's complaint, but right now, you actually have to go out of your way to eat healthy...which is the issue I have with "blaming fat for being fat".


A better lifestyle is definitively going to make a difference on your health (not just weight), there is no argument here, but I don't think our society supports it pretty well.

WHEN THE FUCK DID THEY START DOING THIS? Back in 1999/2000 I was working in Louisville, KY for a company that was based out of Rockville, MD. Maryland of course meant BWI, which meant Southwest airlines to our travel agent. This one time coming back I got sandwiched between these 2 FUCKING ROTUND mounds of what I can only imagine were human flesh. One of the bitches actually had to use 2 seat belt extenders. I shit you not. The other one fell asleep and drooled on my shoulder. I never flew Southwest after that horrible experience.

Well I'm glad they finally listened to their customers. If your body takes up more space than 1 seat allows, then you should be forced to purchase 2 or more seats. If you're too fat for 1 seat and only have 1 ticket, fuck off and roll your way to Houston, fatty.

well, it depends on your location lol

i got a Whole Foods market, where i practically live in. a lot of the older employees know me by name, and saw my progress on my weight loss and compliment me all the time lol. but... to get there, i pass like 2 mcdonalds and 1 taco bell lol. its hard to resist temptation, but when you do it for so long, its just another restaurant in the business.

im no better than anyone, and i dont judge ppl who eat over there religiously, but i would rather smoke my 1st cig than ever sink my teeth into those foods ever again

"blaming fat for being fat".

100% agree with this

[Corrderio]

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

Ahh that explains it. I never seen a toilet like that.

Guess in that case it's possible.

If it's not like they couldn't do it if they wanted to change, but it often require an additional efforts that most people aren't willing to make. Like you said, you have to pass 2 mcdonals and 1 taco bell to eat "healthy". If you wanted to save 10 minutes, you could stop at the first McDonald and enjoy your additional free time.

Healthy food (and it's a shame) often cost more, is in overall less accessible, and sadly, less addictive too...I think as a society, we need to change these things first before actually blamming the people who werent blessed with a functional digestive system!
