Guess the skinny chick was on stand-by and the fatty wasn't, so skinny gets the boot.  Seems about as fair as possible.   :dunno:   Weird story though.

When did Kevin Smith's career accomplishments get limited to being a chubby blogger?

I'm a fatty myself, but I can still fit fairly comfortably into a single seat. It's ridiculous to be so large as to take up two seats, and teen or not, fatty needs to pay for an extra seat if he can't fit.

I suppose if the lady was on standbye then they did what they should have in this situation, but if it's a full flight and there's nobody on standbye to bump then I should hope they handle it differently.

Fatty's should not be allowed to fly, they disrupt weight distribution and cause plane crashes.
