Kevin Smith addresses The Southwest issue exclusively to Tribute

[universalsailor]

Kevin, the solution is entirely in your hands ... or is that a pair of forks?

[atomichead777]

u kiddin me? i've seen fat tubs of fuck twice the size of kevin smith, and they were able to sit in a one seater with their seat belts on

[confettistar]

How can we hate fat people? What about Santa?

[ccheng21]

@confettistar Santa is evil and should die

[AccutaneResults]

LMFAO his hand gestures at 2:24

[RLviddy]

He should have a chat with a few actresses about what it's like to have one's body scrutinized by the press.

[jesspfluger]

He's a genuine nice guy. People are cruel

[MrXSpeaks]

Here is my only smack on him.....he should have chosen to fly first class. He went southwest and I don't think they even have first class. I don't blame him for being upset about the embarrassment.

[BoomtaxRISEtrons]

@MrXSpeaks If i recall correctly from his podcast, he chose Southwest in spite of its lack of first class for the convenience of getting from macworld to his home faster because he'd been away from home and wanted to get there quicker. It's on one of his SModcasts (which are worth listening to for their own sake) in the early 100's.

[ALDdash52]

He doesn't care about being fat...

[fishmanboy]

KS rules!

[matty9460]

I'm sorry but thin America dosent exsist

[JustinCase10261]

kevin is a little twitchy.....curious.

[freakystyley4000]

@JustinCase10261 - I was thinking that too, I think it's just the heat from the lights and he's sweating (I don't think he's 'on' something).

[animejoao]

i want him to loose some pounds not because being skinny is nice, but because i think that soon or later he will drop dead from heart atack or something. he just need to lose some weight in order to live more.

[das9582]

If you get fatter...you're more likely to die. We're trying to help.

[mengle2004]

I think it is funny how everyone in the US hates fat people but 34% Americans are fat. That is a lot of people.

I am over 6'4" and 260 at that weight, I have a lot of muscle mass, I am healthy but I am afraid to fly Southwest now.

[politicoaz]

@mengle2004

No kidding. I'm a big dude, but I've always been considered athletic. I don't fly that often. Now that I'm around 250, the idea of getting booted by Southwest makes me nervous.

[BoredOfFakeTalents]

"Then Entertainment Tonight.. took a pretty girl and put her in a fat suit. .and tried to put her on a plane...then the next day they had some fuckin quack on....." LOL

Kevin is great, Jesus would of been a fan. And then did ass to mouth with Mary,

[shadow01031987]

OMG!!! Kevin Smith is the kind of dude that i would spend the rest of my life with lol!

[chunkyjeffrey]

I support Kevin Smith! He's the man!

[DrFrankLee]

FLY FAT ASS FLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joesimmons90]

@DrFrankLee lmfao

[stickerkingusa]

stick your balding hair up somemore ...and write two hundred too many lines for it to read verbatum...ass

[0TobyElliotNewt0]

I'm a guy that is tall(yeah the opposite of "fat"), and many tall people get "polite remarks" about "stomping" the back of seats. So, in a way, we have the same problem, like these guys.

But what I'm wondering about is the following:

Why do they single out these guys and girls, and not all people that are too big to fit?

The word here is: FASCISM, and because of this, you can sue the asses of these companies!

[mcmlxvi]

What the fuck is up with the 2 fingers up his forehead like fucking windscreen wipers, and then down his hair? Btw: CopOut sucks, seriously, nothing against this dude, but gosh that shit was painful to watch, worst movie since Beverly Hills Cop IV.

[Shredlight]

@mcmlxvi Kevin sweats profusely, partially because of his weight and because he wears so many layers. He's trying to keep sweat of his eyes.

[MrSlikdik]

What a tub! Lose some weight, will ya?

[Shad0wCl0wn]

@MrSlikdik he has enough money to buy lipo, tucks, whatever the fuck he wants if he wasn't just fine the way he is. I actually detect jealousy in your post.

[AccutaneResults]

@Shad0wCl0wn He actually doenst have that much money :P he doesnt even have 10 million bucks now, AND hes not a fucking idiot and get surgery done cause he doesnt like his appearance

[shadow01031987]

@MrSlikdik You are the definition of ignorant for real! That statement just goes to show that people should be careful while holding a child because dropping one leads to idiocy!

[dellinger1000]

as i said this is not a advert 4 copout copout copout thats not copout written behind me if its not 4 the movie then fuckin move over 1 foot 2 the left fatty and cover that lame ass title

[dustomatic1974]

@dellinger1000 This video is the beginning of a Cop Out promotion interview. He said he wasn't trying not to talk about the movie during his media run-ins about the Southwest issue.

[channing37921]

that heavy coat and if you have ever been under those lights there like heat lamps and they put them like 3 feet away from you, im pretty hefty and can tell ya uncomfortable sweating is the worst.

[drumguy2007]

it looks like hes sweating just from talking

[LH270677]

I'm not surprised he's overheating; he's wearing at least three heavy layers there.

[moneymaker8815]

at 0:33-0:35,he does that silent bob eye thing!YAY!i love it when actors have their own thing they do to impress ppl even though it is by own habit!

[Daikkenaurora]

@ZachsMind Its probably a green screen.

[dan0989]

You might want to listen to the part he said just before that. He was referring to in his tweets, podcast, and blog.

[andybarone1984]

what was that at 7:42?

[6zigz9]

@andybarone1984

I think he was overheating. He was reaching for the water and said he wanted to "fan off for a couple of minutes" You can then see his hair is not as sweaty.

[RedFoxRick]

Oilers jersey

NJ Devils Pin

lolwut?

[t3gh]

he loves oilers cuz of gretzky but hes from jersey lol

[Grizzlydawg]

Ass-hockey- not your work!

Corporate America (including SWA).

That didn't read right.

Cheers.

[Grizzlydawg]

Kevin,

The hatred that came out of the woodwork is America's self-loathing of it's own "expansion". You have become a lighting rod for the nation's own self-loathing.

That, of course, combined with corporate weaselling and efforts to create a social pattern of being seen as a trouble-maker for criticizing corporate America. If they succeed in that then the 1% of the rich in America suddenly achieve REAL power over the masses.

LOVE your work!

It's all just corporate ass-hockey in the end

[McNugget06]

Being over weight is kind of genetic and conditioned thing so I can't really blame anyone for the shit.

[ViperRob42]

sweet

[dash21]

wheres the end of this interview? Enjoyed it so far
