Kevin Smith: Fat, Man

[Martin]

Just saw this reported in a Swedish tabloid. Smith is not a household name here, but still, the headline was pretty weird:

'DIE HARD' STAR TOO FAT TO FLY

I will not laugh at anything else today as hard as I laughed at this.

This is the pic from said tabloid swedish newspaper... Is it recent? Black is slimming.

[Cotton]

please, people. The pc term is "tub of goo".

Yes, I read that he bought the two tickets for an another flight; then tried to take the one he was kicked off of.  He knew the deal. I also heard a rumor, unconfirmed, that the trouble really began when he took off his shoes to clench and unclench his toes to help with flying anxiety and other people took offense.

Kevin Smith: 'I broke a toilet'

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2010/02/kevin-smith.html

Is this the best week ever for schadenfreude or what?

[Trembling Eagle]

damn man
he used to just be chubby.


I hope he gets that under control.
With his money there is no excuse.

[Joe Rogaine]

He admitted to breaking a toilet in an interview he did around the time that porno movie came out.

Gotta admit, I feel bad for the guy that this happened, but along with what TE is saying, he's got to pull himself together, b/c as he was always sorta heavy,somewhere along the line recently he's gotten REALLY heavy. This ain't going anywhere good.

[Joe Rogaine]

I bet hes gotten fatter because he recently took up smoking pot.

[Dan in Chicago]

The man does write comics, and not everyone in that industry has Matt Fraction's rugged looks, or Grant Morrison's super skinny bald looks. But yeah, I don't think we will be seeing any cameos in his movies anytime soon.

I bet hes gotten fatter because he recently took up smoking pot.

I'm going to make the shocking prediction that he didn't "recently" start smoking weed.

Also, I'm going to guess that he was a complete gentleman on the flight.

Finally, this story needs to go away.

I had no idea he was directing Cop Out until I saw the link to his twitter page.

Apparently, someone wisely changed the title from Smith's painfully unfunny original title: "A Couple Of Dicks"*, which I think I actually heard about when he was on the Mike Show. 

Seriously, though: Southwest should stop discriminating against obese people, so that Kevin Smith can get back to making movies that make crass fun of women, gays, and the disabled.


* (Get it? The word 'detectives' is sometimes truncated to just 'dicks'. In a humorous coincidence, this also happens to be an obscene slang term. Do you get it?)

Comedians are supposed to make fun of people and things, and airlines are supposed to fly people to their destinations.
