SOUTHWEST AIRLINES BOYCOTTED

LOS ANGELES. Southwest Airlines has been boycotted by the cast and crew of the popular NBC television show, Biggest Loser. "The contestants' boycott is a sign of solidarity with Kevin Smith, who was recently booted from a Southwest Airlines flight," said show host Alison Sweeney. The movement was reportedly spearheaded by the Gray Team, which proposed the boycott. Team member Koli complained, "It is hard enough being a Tongan-American, with all of the prejudice that my ethnicity engenders". "I would also hate to be singled out as an obese Tongan-American when I fly" Trainer Jillian Michaels expressed dissatisfaction with the boycott, saying that she thought that "these fat slobs should devote more time to losing weight rather than complaining about an airline that they never use". Her fellow trainer, Bob Harper, pointed out that whenever the cast travels, they have to go by the program's specially built Winnebago. "It's got helper springs and heavy-duty tires," he said. "If we wanted to fly them somewhere, we would need an Air Force cargo plane." Not to be outdone, the Brown Team has proposed a boycott of Jazz Airlines.
