Except he'll have to fly to NYC for the appearance.

Is it just us, or are you loving Kevin Smith more than ever in the wake of this Southwest Airlines obesity disaster? After Southwest kicked screenwriter/actor Smith off a flight for allegedly being too fat and have tried to save face as the public cackles at their large passenger policy, Kevin Smith wants to show America what really happened, via The Daily Show.

This is some of the most brilliant television we've heard about in awhile, although sources point out that he'd have to fly from L.A. to New York for his Daily Show appearance. In any case, after a long argument between Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines that HuffPo has documented here, Kevin Smith made the following [awesome] proposition to Southwest via Twitter:

"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 & a lot less corporate when they pull a poor girl off the plane & shame her."

We love it. At press time, so did 55 other people, who had re-tweeted Kevin Smith's demand. Southwest has tried to say sorry for their obesity debacle, but does Kevin Smith accept the apology? Fat chance.
