A “Big” Day in the Air

Recently Northwest airlines decided to issue an apology to director Kevin Smith after he was removed from a local California flight. Smith was removed because he could not “comfortably” fit into one seat.
Wow! So now… we have this very large man complaining. If anything, this should be a wakeup call to Kevin Smith to get healthy. I am not going to deny the immense talent that Smith has for creating very crude and clever comedies, but the fact is last time I sat down in a commercial flight I had plenty of enough room to sit in the seat. Sure, no airline is comfortable, but if you are as large as this man and parts of your body are being squeezed like jelly and forced through the small hole between the armrest and the chair then you should know that it’s time to lose weight. Chances are, that this man was also sitting in first class which even has LARGER seats because of his wealth from directing. (that is merely a guess, i have no clue) Bottom line (no puns intended) Northwest airlines was not at fault for what they did, and if you are this large and unhealthy then you by all means should by two seats OR simply take the slightest effort into losing weight and becoming a healthy member of society
