Poor, fat Kevin Smith. The director of Clerks, Jersey Girl and Mallrats was delayed getting from Oakland to Burbank on Sunday because Southwest Airlines considered him a safety risk due to his sizeable weight and removed him from a flight.

Smith responded via Twitter, and the responses are what you would expect: "Dear @SouthwestAir - I know I'm fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?"

"I'm way fat... But I'm not THERE just yet," he continued. "But if I am, why wait til my bag is up, and I'm seated WITH ARM RESTS DOWN. In front of a packed plane with a bunch of folks who'd already I.d.ed me as 'Silent Bob.'"

Southwest Airlines gave Smith a $100 voucher and put him on a different flight. But that didn`t stop the director from continuing his barrage: "Hey @SouthwestAir! Look how fat I am on your plane! Quick! Throw me off!"

"The @SouthwestAir Diet. How it works: you're publicly shamed into a slimmer figure. Crying the weight right off has never been easier!" he continued. "Hey @SouthwestAir! I've landed in Burbank. Don't worry: wall of the plane was opened & I was airlifted out while Richard Simmons supervised."

Southwest Airlines has a policy that requires customers to buy an additional seat if they cannot fit between the armrests of a single seat. When extra seats are available, these customers are given a refund or relocated free of charge.

Southwest responded to Smith`s Tweets: "I've read the tweets all night from @thatkevinsmith - He'll be getting a call at home from our Customer Relations VP tonight. Again, I'm very sorry for the experience you had tonight. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do."

Perhaps the last laugh is Smith`s, since his large frame hasn`t stopped him from dating gorgeous women and exchanging wedding rings with actress Jennifer Schwalbach.
