\"\"<\/a>This really isn’t film news related, but as a man of sizable size and girth, I think it bears repeating.<\/p>\n

Kevin Smith was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight on Saturday. Why? For being fat.<\/p>\n

The airline used its long-standing\u00a0\u00a0“Customers of Size” policy, stating that the comfort of their customers is paramount and they believed Smith needed an extra seat due to his fatness.<\/p>\n

This didn’t sit well with Smith, and since he’s is regularly on Twitter, he let the world know. Robot 6<\/a> has the best details about the dust-up, including Smith’s NSFW tweets (which, I say as a fan, is some of his best work as a writer), including his resonse to Southwest Air’s trying to get in front of the story.<\/p>\n

Kudos for Smith to sticking up for people of a certain size. From one fatty to another, I salute you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
