General discussion

I blame the airlines, not Mitt Romney nor LMFAO member.

They cram too many people into too small area on the planes. The FAA should make a mandatory space per passenger requirement, or per available seat, and make it enough so everyone can enjoy the flight sitting up or reclined, as they choose. The other choice is to fix all seats so NONE of them recline.

Sky Blu, whose given name is Skyler Gordy, says in a video posted Friday on TMZ.com that he was trying to go to sleep when he leaned his seat back on the Vancouver-to-Los Angeles flight Monday. He says Romney loudly told him several times to straighten it and then grabbed his shoulder.

"I just react -- boom -- get off me, you know," Gordy says in the video, taking a swing through the air as he speaks. "And I didn't take it any further than that. I just wanted the man not to touch me; that's it."

Gordy says that Romney's wife, Ann, screamed and that the plane returned to the gate before two police officers escorted him off. After being detained briefly, he was allowed to buy a ticket for another flight.
