Why do I get the feeling that pilot was one of those protesters outside of Dogma a decade ago…
Gee, I really need to figure out how to make it through life without ever being wrong. Kevin Smith has clearly figured it out.
His filmography says otherwise.
I’d just kill myself if that happened to me.
My God I think he averages about 20 tweets an hour.
Ha ha! He’s fat and we don’t like his movies!
I still say that pilot had an agenda. Kevin Smith is a fatty but he’s not that big. Either that guy didn’t want a celebrity on board for some stupid reason or he had some sort of personal issue with the dude’s films.
Which is fair enough, really.

A celebrity? Flying into Burbank? Happens all the time. Burbank is a breeze to get through and if a flight can make it in their instead of LAX, I guarantee someone is going to take that route.
I doubt Smith is high enough profile for a pilot to even know about. I’m guessing that he’s just that big.

I saw Smith at a burger place in LA last summer. He really is that big. At times, he agrees. He even bought two seats, but a flight change left him with just one. He knows the situation.

He claims that he flew out there (and back–on the flight he was bumped to) by fitting in 1 seat with the arm rests down and no seat belt extender, so who knows wtf happened.
His Smodcast pretty much explains everything. I feel for the guy - this wasn’t cool and we all know people this could happen to.
Smodcast, by the way, is excellent, and better than his movies.
It would be hilarious if the pilot was a Conan fan. Smith’s outspoken support for Leno is only slightly more grating than most of his movies.

Let’s pretend for a second that we live in the Bizarro World where Kevin Smith would get kicked of a plane for a reason other than being a great big fat person, and then have that reason covered up by a conspiracy within Southwest Airlines. Considering all of the perks I’m sure Kevin Smith receives because he is Kevin Smith (clearly he has no problems being seated in restaurants), I can’t muster too much sympathy when he is made to suffer an indignity for that same reason.

The possibility of a (that’s ONE) pilot being a douche because he doesn’t like a guy is a conspiracy?
As for Southwest, they’re just trying to make good after some embarrassment. I never included their actions in any of my posts soooo, yeah. Keep inferring, sister.
