WTF? http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20081121/twl-fat-fliers...

So in other words, they're saying it's ok to be fat, and those who have looked after themselves and eaten like a homo-sapien, effectively get penalised.

FFS! Fatfks should be taxed, as an insult to life itself, or because their carbon footprint is humungus, not given freebies! mad

Something needs to be done about this fatfk acceptability problem which is developing. It's just more advertising for the capitalist system that greed is all good. The same greed that is fking it up at the moment.

Next time I fly I'm going to demand extra leg room by virtue of being more than six feet tall. Hello Canadian Human Rights Commission complaint.

I think you buy a seat on an airplane, not a carte blanche you go over there now ticket. And if they walked instead of flying they might lose a bit of weight anyways.

I work in an airport, and when we're pushed I'll go and check in.

I keep the 'normals' together, single blokes next to single girls, infants with parents I try to keep an empty seats next to them, lanky fecks (like me) on the exit rows.

Fat arses who should obviously be booking an extra seat, 3 together like sardines.

I'm not surprised by the Canadian thing. A certain American airline is so scared of litigation they state there is no grounds to refuse anyone boarding. Too fat ? No problem. Drunk ? Could be an alcoholic so best not upset them. Weeping sores and about to die from anthrax ? No problem, the airline has decided no disease can be transmitted during a flight for fear of discrimination.

Exactly! Tall people have a far more valid claim as they can't change their height, I'm going to demand this next time I fly.

Very Good.


Who else wants to get sloshed, smear themselves with faeces and cause a scene?

Damn straight. I am a lean 11-ish stoner but pay the same for my seat as Jabba the Hutt in the next row. But every extra kilo of luggage costs me about 7 quid. Discrimination against slim people. I think I´ll write to the Daily Mail.

It's been going on for a while now. I got stuck next to some stinking blimp and her devil-spawn child once because of this exact sort of nonsense on a flight from Atlanta to Gatwick. I had a paid for business class seat and this fking walking example of why Europeans think we are a nation of fat and stupid white trash proceeds to terrorize me by not shutting her mouth for close to 4,000 miles.

And she smelled.

Upgraded to business class because she looks like a Yeti in knickers. (10 bonus points for whomever associates that line with the right Viz strip).
