Never heard of him.

[Dr. Ursus]

Being a fat,drama queen isn’t a good look on a man!

[CajunConservative]

Actually the airlines flubbed this one up.

[Marty62]

Is H-wood up in arms about this.

Don’t they have a problem. Go against their messiahs wife,”stop all fatties” campaign and shouting discrimination against this unknown H-wood person.

[FrdmLvr]

Publicity stunt.

Actually the airlines flubbed this one up.

Yes, but their "flub up" was in letting him board the stand-by flight in the first place. He had purchased two seats on his original flight but decided he wanted to take an earlier flight on stand-by. There was only one seat available on the flight, but they let him board anyway - only to determine afterward that he needed two seats to contain his supersized @$$.

[Dr. Ursus]

He usually buys two tickets,but went standby on a earlier
flight that only had one seat.When you pay 79.00 dollars
for today’s seat, you get 79.00 dollars worth of airline.

if he’s so dern ‘famous’, why is he flying on the cheap?

[gussiefinknottle]

He's so fat, when he steps on the scale, the scale reads, "One at a time, please!"

[Red Badger]

He’s so fat that when he steps on a scale is says CALL 911.............

how fat is he?

He's so fat, he was baptized at Sea World.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

He’s so fat, when he stands outside, most people assume the ensuing darkness is a solar eclipse.

[Sans-Culotte]

He comes off bad in the blog. It is clear that other passengers were inconvenienced. I would not have wanted to sit next to him. If Smith is accustomed to buying two seats to hold his mammoth frame, then he should have made it clear that he needed two standby seats. If I were a semi-famous fat director, I'd STFU about the whole thing.

[CajunConservative]

I know the story. The airline screwed up. He paid for two seats, the flight only had one seat available and seated him so guess what? A paying customer should not have been humiliated because the FA couldn’t see the obvious. His wife said in the first smodcast after the incident that the airline actually charged him for the flight he was kicked off and the flight that he was on. She said that they had spent about $1000 for SW tickets that week.

The fact is that the person who decided to unseat him didn’t realize he had a platform to get the story out. Maybe they need to pay closer attention to who they humiliate the next time.
