US movie director tweets Southwest into trouble
US carrier Southwest Airlines has issued an apology to American arthouse director Kevin Smith after he tweeted about being told by the carrier that he was too fat to fly.
The Clerks and Chasing Amy director used social networking site Twitter to tell his 1.65 million followers how the airline had told him that he would not be able to fly from Oakland to Burbank in California because he did not fit in his seat.
