From today's news:
1.) American Airlines, for instance, won't give a maximum weight limit, but reserves the right to turn away anyone deemed too fat to comply with safety instructions by themselves. (Can you imagine trying to escape through the emergency exit and having a fatty in front of you? No offense, Hurley. You only lived because the plane broke in half.)
2.) This guy had to stand for seven hours: "He initially had an empty seat next to him on Flight 901, but a late passenger sat there and took more space than he paid for.
"His size required both armrests to be raised up and allowed for his body to cover half of my seat," Berkowitz said.
The man was very polite and expressed regret over the situation, said Berkowitz, who notified the flight crew that he was unable to fasten his seat belt and asked if he could move to business class.
As the flight was filled to capacity, and as passengers are not permitted to sit in the flight attendants' jump seats, Berkowitz found himself strolling through the cabin for hours. Flight attendants apparently asked him to remain seated and fasten his seat belt, but he said the co-passenger was seated on his seat belt fastener, making this impossible."
Fat people should have to buy two seats. You know how they have the "You have to be this tall to ride this ride" sign at amusment parks? They need them, at airports, too. "If you are this fat, you have to pay for two seats."
It isn't bigotry. How much fuel does it take to fly a fatass across the country compared to a more normally-sized person?
aussie, you aren't fat. You have body issues.
