Kevin Smith Kicked off Southwest Flight for Being Fat

[Tekki]

That Ethan story is really impressive. Should have put a pic in there with him from Butterfly Effect. He was a fucking mountain.

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.

It doesn't.

As someone who grew up in a ghetto and has been on food stamps numerous times, constantly struggling to break out of the cycle, I can state firsthand that it's complete and total bullshit. The majority of my relatives are fucking trailer trash. You can bet your ass a ton of them are fat.

For the longest time, I wasn't, but then I suffered a back injury during a hard labor job while trying to make ends meet. More recently, when my usual gig -- writing -- dried up due to a bunch of companies deciding they didn't want to release any fucking games for months, another laborious job resulted in my knee tendons getting royally fucked. I also have scoliosis. I am fucking screwed.

I can't exercise as I used to love to -- going to the gym, running, playing sports -- and I was laid off from my last job during the beginning of the year. Even the dollar store is hard to shop at. It is incredibly more difficult to eat healthy than it is to buy garbage. It makes you fucking sick, I hate it, but I know I'm by far not the only one who suffers through this shit.

Now, that doesn't mean I have sympathy for the people who are fat because they're legitimately lazy fuckers. Fuck them. Fuck those shitheads who have the money to have health insurance, gym memberships, and to buy good food and cook nice meals. Those cunts deserve every ounce of slander they get. I'm bitter as hell and I'll bitch till the sun comes up.

I love most of your movies and think you're a funny ass guy, Mr. Smith, but there's no Goddamn way you're the kind of guy who has an excuse for being obese.

yeah i feel ya, im struggling just like you

i didnt have anyone to rely on but myself, but i still make time for shit, working 48 hours a week on one job and 20 on another job, paying all my expenses, i STILL have to make time for at LEAST 30 min of physical activity a day, and resistance training (hardly happens though, i planned shit out so good, that i have about 1-2 hours to workout, which is more than enough). or else ill go back to being the way i was. and im not doing that. i worked too hard to be on the right track, and im still not satisfied. right now, im just sacrificing sleep, but its worth it to be able to only have to pay for 1 seat when i have to pay for a flight ticket lol.

I don't think you understood my point. I'm not saying they couln't do otherwise, I'm saying that someone who isn't trying to be healthy will most likely fall in a unhealthy lifestyle just because there is more unhealthy alternative in our society. It's possible to find healthy and cheap food, but you can't tell me it's easier.

Taxes unhealthy food, force fast food to serve better food, force students to exercice...etc. It would be easy to impose an healthier lifestyle to everyone.

yeah for sure ;p

i DO hope there's a day where people find these foods gross someday though ;(

Bitches don't know about Pork Roll. Seriously. Pork Roll is 1000000x the meat Bacon ever will be, ask anyone from NJ.

Omnomnom. I'm fat and I admit it D:

[Chun Liroy]

I bet Kevin Smith would eat his computer if he saw that shit

[thestalkmore]

Hate fatties.

[SephYuyX]

Fat comedians/actors are good though.

[Ryko]

Economic stability lends to losing weight, economic instability lends to starvin one's self to do it and the second old habits come back the weight comes back on. All stated before but it became apparent in the past few months to me.

[Elcura]

Fat comedians/actors are good though.

They have to be.

[ZarakiKujata]

Bacon is okay cause of good protein/calorie ratio + if you eat it after working out or in the morning you don't keep much if any of the fat in it. Also,

That's a poutine calzone. I think I would die of a heartattack in 2-3 months if someplace around me actually made that....

Wow Kevin Smith really has let himself go... They asked if he would like an aisle seat, not the whole aisle...

Lame I know, but I mean c'mon, do you really want to sit next to something like that? ~_~

[Acturus]

It's Kevin Smith...

Kevin "I made a fuck-ton of money directing stoner movies" Smith

Kevin "Jersey Girl was just a demonstration of the destructive power of this battle station" Smith

Why is he flying around in anything other than a private plane?

Or, if he's missing Travolta's ego, why is he not flying anything other than business/first class? I thought airlines didn't care how fat you were up in front of the curtain. Those plush leather seats will support mongoloid manatees on the way to the Aquatic Special Olympics.

yeah for sure ;p

I love that site! I am currently changing eat habits and excercising/working out alot since Dec. '09 and have lost 52 lbs. whenever I feel hungry I drink water, if I still feel hungry after that, I visit that site and my hunger goes away pretty quick!

[Xno Kappa]

God bless my metabolism. 6 feet 175 pounds despite the ridiculous shit I put in my body.

I usually work-out 4 to 5 times a week on my own with the typical Army workout in the morning during weekdays but I freaking drink beer/liquor like a horse on the weekends. Wife recently showed me the calorie count in vodka and I was pretty shocked. Sometimes it's just straight up ignorance, people just need to better educate themselves on what to eat and not to eat.
