I doubt anyone's going to read this as we're over 1500 comments in, but I find it disappointing that so many people are gullible enough to blindly believe Southwest and the media. (Hint: Try reading/listening to Kev's side of the story. Much different picture.)
And it's doubly disappointing that weight is one of the few characteristics that society still finds it acceptable to hate. We frown upon racism, we frown upon ageism, we frown upon homophobia and xenophobia, but dammit, DOWN WITH FATTIES!!!!! America still has a long way to go...

Finally, I really wish more people would realize that most overweight people are trying to do something about it. Don't hate just because they're not having much success.
