Who would want to be forced to sit next to you?

Apparently you're not familiar with Kevin Smith. The man calls himself a fatty, but he's not one of the gross, rotund people that take up more than their seat. He has a respectable beer gut, yes. But the man's not going to ooze into your seat.

He's a smart, funny, kind person I've had the pleasure of getting to meet. If half the people I had to fly next to were like him, I could count myself incredibly lucky.

planes need to accomodate people of all sizes, and I feel sorry for the commenter who asked "who wants to sit next to a fat person on a plane." May you never know the joy a larger person can bring to your life-love, laughter, self-lessness etc.

I absolutely love Kevin Smith, and he is so very famous to me!

Who wants to sit next to a heterosexual person on a plane? I certainly don't. They might talk about their wife or children or suburban life, and that's just depraved.

And don't even get me started on people with religious beliefs of any kind or people who watch American Idol.

I prefer to sit next to queer atheists only, who actually LIKE music.

Yes, this is a Swiftian argument, mostly (though I actually WOULD prefer not to be trapped with a privileged heterosexual who thinks s/he is all that matters in the world...).
