Fat guy on a little plane!

As a guy who has about 20+ lbs' on him that he doesn't need and being about 6'1", I know how uncomfortable planes are. Whenever I get off a plane I feel like I blew out an MCL cause as soon as were in the air the person in front of me will typically lean down their seat causing a pressure point right on the top of my kneecap and I can never seem to get both knees in a comfortable position, always one is being pressed toward the ground. I hate it, the seats are so narrow that if I can't sway the armrests away from someone I'm left doing the narrow shoulders hands in your crotch thing.. It sucks, flying sucks.

I bring this up this story in light of the Kevin Smith incident this weekend on SouthWest (AKA SouthWorst) Airlines. We all know about how cheap SW is and that it is the white trashiest/greyhound of the sky. No first class, seat yourself battles, customer service that is sketchy at best cause there's only one service desk for every 3 gates. So Kevin Smith (creater of Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Jersey Girl, and Cop Out) was flying SouthWest and was removed from his seat for anything but the right reasons. The basis is that he was too overweight for just one seat and needed to have a buy a second, but since one wasn't available he had to leave the plane.

After going through this humiliating and completely wrong process he proceeded to quote "scorch" southwest on twitter and for good reason. This led to many of his over a million followers to start "scorching" SW on twitter causing the servers to go down. He also went home an recorded a podcast with his wife explaining his story word for word and then going on a huge rant. It was epic... EPIC! Let's face it, he's a good writer and master of swearing.. He put them in their place.

So here's the reason of all this. I had no idea he had a podcast. I rarely look at twitter.. ever, but when I heard about his rant on there and what happened I went to his twitter it out and then found out through there that he has a podcast... Damnit it's even with Scott Mosier (who is a producer, writer and editor on basically everything K.Smith does)... Fucking heaven, the stuff these guys say is so unedited and just great witty off the cuff humor and totally ridiculous banter. And for all those Kevin Smith and View Askew believers it's a must listen to on a weekly basis.
