#6  I strongly suspect this is publicity for the upcoming motion picture Cop Out, which he directed.

#5  Shut up, Kevin. Flying is bad enough without jerks like you making trouble for everybody else. If you can't get two seats then don't fly.

#4  He was flying Southwest which competes with the bus company not other airlines. If he wasn't so cheap thrifty given that he's someone of 'note', he certainly should have taken a premium carrier who would been more than accommodating based upon the size of his pocketbook not his girth.

#3  Kevin, think of this as an invitation to weight watchers.

#2  Commercial aircraft seem something of a production throwback. What with computer aided design, you would think that "designer aircraft" would be much more viable.

For example, why not have some aircraft on popular routes that have some special seating for obese people?

And nobody has come up with a more efficient design for a prone medical transport, than just a single layer of cots. Two or more times as many people could be put on such flights with some careful design--saving lives in a mass casualty situation.

#1  Too big to fit in a single seat, he had purchased two seats, but on standby, only one seat was available at the earlier time.
