Moby is urging the passengers to boycott the company America's Southwest Airlines, after a woman got thrown out of one of their planes because she was wearing a T-shirt criticizing US President George W Bush.

According to website WENN.com, Lorrie Heasley was removed from a flight for modeling a T-shirt featuring pictures of Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney and Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice alongside the text 'Meet The Fockers'.

Writing on his website, Moby says: "A woman who was wearing a T-shirt with pictures of Bush, Cheney and Condi Rice and with the slogan 'Meet The Fockers' was kicked off of a Southwest Airlines flight.
Let's just get this straight: she was kicked off of the flight for wearing a T-shirt that the staff found offensive. You know what? I find Southwest Airlines offensive.
I do hereby encourage you and everyone you know to boycott Southwest Airlines."

Arguably most famous among his peers for the track "Go," a progressive track using the string line from "Laura Palmer's Theme" of the TV show Twin Peaks, Moby is also well known for singles like "Porcelain", "South Side" with Gwen Stefani, "We Are All Made of Stars" and "Lift Me Up".

Moby has released singles under the names Voodoo Child, Barracuda, UHF, The Brotherhood, DJ Cake, Lopez and Brainstorm/Mindstorm.
