Cardiac arrest isn't the only predator out their putting the squeeze on fat people, airliners have proudly joined the ranks. "United Airlines is the latest carrier to penalize overweight passangers, by charging them for two seats if they can't fit comfortably into one and there are no other seats available."
How good is that?!
If you ask me, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. But instead of taking it to the courts, lardos have posed a retort: "have airlines failed to keep up with the growing size of American fliers?" What a f*cking insult. Arguing that 34% (approx) of Americans are obese, the chunkers instead question why they don't just make one third of the seats larger.
I can see it now: "goodmorning sir. Will you be seated in Business, Economy, or Fat?"
Interestingly enough, between '60 and '02, the average American male gained 25 lbs, and the average women added 24 lbs.
The Criteria: if a passanger cannot close the arm rest, or cannot fasten the seat belt with and extension.
The action was in response to the airline having received over 700 complaints last year about overweight passengers. Since, advocates for the obese have put their western double bacon cheesburgers down and are saying its discrimination.
Look fatsos, the airlines are in the business of transporting humans, not freight and gorillas, so do us all a favor and hit the gymnasio before your next flight.
