I just think this is wrong in sooooo many ways. Why should it matter how big you are they should just have seats that everyone can fit in. Maybe the airlines needs to think about this and make extra large seats in a few rows then problem solved and it saves embarrassment and the airlines bad publicity.
They do make extra large seats that can fit fatties.
They're called first-class.
Which costs more? 1 first-class ticket, or two coach tickets?
Also - at what weight does it become necessary to buy 2 tickets? Unless Kevin Smith has packed on some serious beef lately, he shouldn't be spilling into the next seat. He wasn't that fat last time I saw him.
Yeah, Jay gives him a hard time - calling him lunchbox and stuff - but really, he's not a big sloppy pig.
Or at least he wasn't.
Also - what if you're sitting next to your wife (or husband) and they don't mind you hanging all over them, and putting your unsightly belly-fat in their lap or working with your extra poundage? Do you still have to buy 2 tickets (or 3 counting your Significant Other).
And what if you're big, but not fat. Let's say you have really broad shoulders and muscley arms? Do you still have to buy an extra seat, or is that only for fat people? Is it a punishment for being ugly-big, rather than attractive-big.
There's a lot of gray area here that needs to be explored.
