Kevin Smith (Silent Bob-fame) battles Southwest Air

Well as he has mentioned in the past, he is the son of a poor USPS Employee and a stay at home mom from Red Bank, NJ area. So he was from a lower-middle class upbringing, hence the everyman mentality. And he's a retired Catholic, too. Look at Dogma.

Absolutely. I've been a fan of Kevin Smith since Clerks was released on the big screen back in 94. I've seen every flick he's ever did or appeared in and I was also lucky enough to be on hand for the taping of "A Threevening With Kevin Smith".

He's a good guy that tells it how he sees it. I love the fact that his films are dialogue-driven, as opposed to endless oodles of CGI and other special effects. While I'm very proud of him for taking a stand against Southwest for their atrocious behavior, I'm also proud to say I'm a fan of the man behind the reputation he's built for himself. The world could use more folks like Kevin Smith.

Ironically, SteveX, Kevin has used that photo to show how is not that obese, although that guy in the photo is very tall too.

The part in this storey I don't like is how they charged Kevin and the woman for the same spare seat. A tad naughty me thinks. As for the whole size charging thing there's little we can say about it. It is a private business and first class or what ever name they spin first class with, does give it's customers more room. Buy 2 economy tickets or one 1st class?
