Kevin Smith — portly star of the Silent Bob<\/em> films — is not happy about being called a \u201csafety risk” by Southwest Airlines.<\/p>\n The Cop Out<\/em> director — who also helmed comedy Mallrats<\/em> and Clerks<\/em> — took to his Twitter account<\/a> this weekend to inform his over 1.6 million followers that the airline threw him off a flight from Oakland to Burbank on Saturday night because he was “too wide for the sky.” <\/em><\/p>\n After delivering a speech in San Francisco, Smith — who often purchases two seats when flying commercial — was buckled in and ready to take flight when he was bounced from the friendly skies for being too fat! <\/p>\n Ouch — now that’s enough to make a guy scarf down a few donuts……<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n “Dear @SouthwestAir – I know I’m fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?” <\/em>Smith Tweeted of his ordeal. “I’m way fat… But I’m not THERE just yet,” <\/em>he continued. “But if I am, why wait til my bag is up, and I’m seated WITH ARM RESTS DOWN. In front of a packed plane with a bunch of folks who’d already I.d.ed me as ‘Silent Bob.’”<\/em><\/p>\n The apologetic airline eventually presented Smith with a $100 voucher and put him on a different flight. Kevin was having none of it! He continued to Tweet at Southwest all the way back to L.A. The airline hit its own Twitter<\/a> to apology to the lensman, writing: \u201c…..getting a call at home from our Customer Relations VP tonight,\u201d<\/em> before adding \u201cHey Kevin! I’m so sorry for your experience tonight! Hopefully we can make things right.” <\/em><\/p>\n Sadly for Southwest, Kevin doesn’t appear to be in a forgiving sort of mood: “Dear Fucktarded PR-Challenged Fatty-Haters at @SouthwestAir: Your ‘apology’ blog is insulting, redacted bullshit. FULL details in two hours….”<\/em> he fumed in a Tweet Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n Smith’s Cop Out<\/em>, which stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, is due in theaters on Feb. 26.<\/p>\n Kevin Smith — portly star of the Silent Bob films — is not happy about being called a \u201csafety risk” by Southwest Airlines.
