How fat is he?He's so fat that when he steps on a scale, it reads "One at a time, please."
He's so fat that his bathtub has stretch marks.
He's so fat that he shows up on radar.
He's so fat that he sweats gravy.

In the wake of this, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is urging for a boycott of Southwest Airlines, Amen!
More room for the rest of us.

Amerca needs to drill for ooil in Alaska but the enviornmentalist lobby prevents it along with the species protection lobby. Much more would reduce the price of gasoline and other oil based products.
Obama is in league tith those lobbies.

In the event of a water landing, you may use Kevin Smith as a floatation device.

I’m 5’9” and 284 pounds and have had no problems flying Southwest. No need to buy second seat. The armrest goes down, the seat belt fits and no extension is needed. I don’t know how much Smith weighs.

“That is one boycott I fully endorse.”
I love these guys. You go to get on a plane and you see a woman with an infant getting on *after* half the plane (mostly men) who are platinum, gold, silver, or whatever members get on and take all the overhead space up front, even when they’re sitting in the back.
But, hey, let’s not worry about women and children when we can gripe about our fat rears not fitting into one seat.
Fail.

Just because Bob can squeeze into a seat does not mean he has a right to space I paid for
Did you read the article...big Bob paid for 2 seats but SW didnt provide them when his flight was switched...now who is really at fault?
To: dblshot
continued....SW should of never let him have the seat if he had paid for 2
To: Perdogg
I have to say that the airlines are partially to blame for this. Anyone remember how big seats were 20 or 30 years ago? You don’t have to be obese to feel cramped or spill over into your neighbors seat. If you are tall, its a royal pain too. Airlines are flying cattle cars run by flight attendants who increasingly are letting their police powers go to their heads.

I do have a problem with them enforcing it selectively with seemingly no objective standards.There is more to the story. He did purchase two tickets for the original flight, but went standby for an earlier flight. The standby flight was the one he got the boot on, because the plane was already almost max takeoff weight.

How about if they boycott ALL airlines?

In the wake of this, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is urging for a boycott of Southwest Airlines, telling "people of size to seek out and travel airlines that do not have such discriminatory policies." Am I missing something...?

Sitting in a seat next to sweaty rolling fat oozing under the arm rest
and rubbing your leg is no way to fly. It happened to me and I had to
endure it for five freekin hours.

He’s so fat that when his doctor told him that he was suffering from a flesh-eating bacterium (the condition known as ‘necrotising fasciitis’), the doctor also gave him just 87 years to live.
