Firstly, let me start this by saying Clerks is my favourite film of all time and I have been a fan of Kevin since it first came out.
Now, that said, Southwest has for a very long time had the rule that if you are over a certain weight you need to buy two seats. I know this because when I was at my highest weight I had to do so with them several times. Well, I didn't *have* to but I did because they made it clear in their company policy that if they thought you were too big and you hadn't already booked two seats and the flight was full you would be bounced. So, I always did just to save the chance of embarrassment and missing a flight.
Each and every time Southwest were very nice about it and highly professional. In exchange, you got priority boarding which meant you get to pick your seat rather than do the rush for a seat that happens for everybody else. It is almost worth paying that extra anyway to not have anybody sitting next to you and not having to be waiting in line to board for ages.
So, my guess is he didn't read the materials and could have just bought a second seat. Which, surely he can afford. Instead he kicked up a fuss.
Also, the last time I saw him in London (like six months ago) smoking weed had become pretty much the focus of his life. So, there is also the possibility that he stunk of that and it added to them wanting to bump him.
