The Twitter frenzy that erupted on Sunday between Silent Bob and Southwest has now become a blog bout.
Southwest posted its side of the story on its official blog on Monday, while Kevin Smith delivered his own missive on the incident that had the portly writer/director booted from a flight for being overweight.
"Mr. Smith originally purchased two Southwest seats on a flight from Oakland to Burbank – as he's been known to do when traveling on Southwest," said the airline's statement.

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.
Amen!
More room for the rest of us.
“the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance” ? What, I need an association now? ;’)
after reading the comments posted here, i can tell you at least, where kids learn to bully. at home.
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.
btw, I’m not complaining at you. I realize your response is ironic.
continued....SW should of never let him have the seat if he had paid for 2
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.
His flight wasn't switched.
Hey.........I like southwest....they are the greyhound bus of air travel
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.
Am I missing something...?
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.
