Police: Man rides on car hood in his underwear
www.heraldstandard.com/February 19, 2010

UNIONTOWN, Pa. — Police expect to file charges against a 57-year-old man who was wearing only underwear in frigid temperatures when he hopped on the hood of his girlfriend’s moving car during an argument. Police have yet to identify the man or his 28-year-old girlfriend, saying they’ll release the names once they sort out what charges to file.

Police were called about 3:20 a.m. Thursday by someone reporting a man riding on the hood of a car, screaming at the woman driving it.

The woman had a bruise under her left eye and police said they found drug paraphernalia in the car.

Uniontown is about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh. The region has been hit by heavy snows and overnight temperatures were in the teens on Thursday.

The pressure of Valentine’s Day is just too much for some people.

Man beaten with high-heel on Waffle House Valentine’s date gone wrong

Pooler police say violence erupted during one couple’s Valentine’s Day outing, as the suitor’s former lover burst into the restaurant and beat the man with her high-heel.

Early Sunday morning, officers were called to the Waffle House at 1012 E. U.S. 80, finding a “blood-covered floor and tables in a state of disarray,” according an incident report filed by Pooler police.

A 33-year-old man had suffered cuts and scrapes on his face, marks left by the “spiked heel from a shoe,” police reported.

The victim told officers that he and his girlfriend were at a booth when a pair of sisters – one of whom is the mother of his children – came in and sparked an argument.

He tried to ignore them, police reported, even as they began hitting him. A Waffle House manager told police the women also hurled sugar and salt containers through a window.

At some point, the assailants went to the parking lot and damaged the man’s car, police reported.

They then returned inside, and the man struck at least one of the women, according to the report.

That’s when the women took off in a car; a Savannah-Chatham police officer spotted the getaway vehicle and followed it to a Savannah hospital, Pooler police reported.

One of the women was treated for a cut above her right eye before both were taken to the Pooler police department.

The suspects – identified as Kenya White, 29, of Meldrim; and Marrisha White, 32, of Hinesville – were each charged with battery and criminal damage to private property, according to the incident report. They were taken to the Chatham County jail.

Paramedics treated the victim at the scene, police reported.

Recently New Jersey raised film director and smart ass Kevin Smith wanted to fly to Oakland to speak at a MAC conference. He booked 2 seats on a Southwest Airlines flight. However, once he checked in he wanted an earlier flight than the one he booked  and agreed to “standby” for the desired flight. A standby seat did indeed become available, but it was one single seat.

Once he was seated the trouble began. Smith said he could put the armrests down and buckle his belt once seated on the stand by flight. Then stuff happened. Eventually the pilot told him he could not fit in the seat and could not fly on that flight, and Smith had to get off the plane.

Smith then began to TWEET about the event as did Southwest. Their media interplay will probably continue, with Smith generating many pointed TWEETS about the incident. Since Smith has a new film coming out soon,  he will probably milk the free publicity for all it’s worth.

Many articles about this incident  focus on the “obese passenger problem.” Smith did initially purchase 2 seats. I  understand the desire to have some elbow room, on Southwest I literally can’t move my arms without bumping the person next to me. An extra seat will also put some distance between oneself and the parade of humanity that flies Southwest. As Smith said

“I can fit into a Soutwest Airlines seat,” Smith stated in the podcast, defending his size. “This is the important part of the story. If I have to, I can fly one seat on Southwest. I just opt not to, because it’s more comfortable, and I have enough money to do it.”

but then he also tweeted

“Contrary to their claim that I regularly purchase two seats, I wasn’t a regular 2-seat buyer until just this week. They SEIZED on that. In their ‘apology’ blog, they implied (or flat-out wrote) that I regularly purchase 2 seats. Writing that buttresses their lie: 2 Fat 2 Fly.

“But, by their own guidelines, I was not, in fact, 2 Fat 2 Fly: the arm rests went down & I could buckle my seat belt w/o an extender. So…? Hey @SouthwestAir: you bring that same row of seats to the DailyShow, and I’ll sit in ‘em for all to see on TV.

“If I don’t fit, I’ll donate $10k to charity of your choice. But when I do (& buckle the belt as well)? 1) You admit you lied. 2) Change your policy, or at least re-train your staff to be a lot more human and a lot less corporate.”

in another TWEET

After his flight from Oakland landed in Los Angeles he wrote “Don’t worry: wall of the plane was opened and I was airlifted out.”

in another TWEET

“So, @SouthwestAir, go f*** yourself, I broke no regulation, offered no “safety risk” (what, was I gonna roll on a fellow passenger?).”

in another TWEET

“Fuck making it right for me just ’cause I have a platform. I sat next to a big girl who was chastised for not buying an extra ticket because “all passengers deserve their space.” Fucking flight wasn’t even full! Fuck your size-ist policy. Rude..”

Smith is no shrinking violet. In this vid clip from 2007 Smith easily handles a heckler. Alas the sound quality is poor but it shows Smith thinking quickly, sharply and smiling while he hands a critic their ass. Ironically I found this clip when I searched for “Kevin Smith teets” when I mean to search for his tweets.

Kevin Smith peeved after airline says he’s too big for one seat
By Randy McMullen | Contra Costa Times  |  02/16/2010

Director and actor Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines engaged in a war of words Sunday and Monday — on Twitter and on blog posts — after Smith was refused a seat on a Southwest Oakland-to-Burbank flight because he’s too hefty.

“You have messed with the wrong sedentary, processed-foods eater,” snapped the filmmaker in a Twitter post Sunday.

Smith, best known as the director of “Clerks” and for portraying the Silent Bob comedic character, says he tried to board a Sunday flight but was turned away even though, he claims, he could fit in the seat and buckle himself in.

Smith, who has openly talked and joked about his weight problem, acknowledges he normally buys two seats while flying, and did so on an Oakland-Burbank flight on Sunday. But his plans went awry when he tried to snag an earlier flight. He was put on standby and was informed that a single seat had become available. But when he came aboard, the flight’s pilots ruled that he did not fit in the single seat.
