Extra-Large Traveler Traveling Sparks Debate!

Okay, now I have been on a plane more times than I can count — I have been on business trip after business trip and I have never, ever seen this happen. However — I have noticed that the seats in the aircrafts have been getting smaller and smaller … slowly but surely. This photograph has been circling the web for quite some time and it has actually become quite a debate right now.
Basically, airlines do not care how big you are, you just need to fit into their mold and into their seats and that’s that. Apparently … this photograph was taken by a flight member before the flight was taken off and while the gentlemen was given a free seat as well as a seat belt extender, really — do you need to snap his picture?
So what is the policy if you can not fit in the seat? What do you do? Just sit there? Uncomfortable? That can not be safe.
