Kevin Smith

By now, you have all heard about Kevin Smith being kicked off Southwest airlines for being too big. For those of you who are not familiar with Kevin Smith, he is a writer and a director. I used to watch his movies in high school: Chasing Amy, Clerks, Clerks 2, Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Dogma, Jersey Girl...I may be leaving out a couple. Oh, he also acts in those movies. He plays the character, Silent Bob. My point being, Kevin Smith is not working with the same kind of money that I'm working with. He is working with the kind of money that I WILL be working with in about five years.

So this is all in the media that Southwest is evil and they kicked him off the flight for taking up too much space. My question is this: Kevin Smith, why didn't you purchase two seats, if you were that adamant about flying on Southwest? Or, why didn't you fly first class on another airline or charter a plane? Did you just feel the need to slum it? Who knows, maybe he is just a down to earth guy who likes to keep it real. Who am I to criticize? I just don't understand why someone would subject themselves to that sort of treatment. Apparently this was not the first time either. It's almost as if he didn't learn his lesson the first time, or he's trying to bring negative attention to the airline that treats me so well. In which case, I choose Southwest. Sorry Kevin Smith!
