Because Southwest Airlines thinks sagging pants are a security risk, they threw Green Day lead vocalist BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG out of one of their planes in California. What, baggy trousers are potential hiding places for homemade explosives now? Maybe they think it’s the perfect compartment for midget terrorists to stow away in…
Armstrong, 39, far from throwing a tantrum and threatening legal action like most celebrities would’ve done, went on Hollywood’s favorite online P.A. system immediately and tweeted:
“Just got kicked off a Southwest flight because my pants sagged too low!…”
He was on his way to Los Angeles from Oakland, California when a flight attendant approached him and told him to pull up his pants.
“Don’t you have better things to do than worry about that?”
Armstrong told the stew. It wasn’t as if he was pissing all over the aisle or anything (and Gerard Depardieu didn’t get thrown off an international flight for that, either).
Before the singer could even take his seat, he was promptly evicted from the aircraft, forcing him to take the next flight out.
There hasn’t been word yet whether Armstrong is suing for baggy pants discrimination, but a rep from Southwestern Airlines said:
“As soon as we became aware of what had happened, we reached out to apologize for this customer’s experience.”
We think Billy Joe Armstrong should sue, wouldn’t you?
