Bigger chairs. OF COURSE!!
Thanks to the alert and astute mockdocker who sent me the link to this article, we now know that “in order to cope with the country’s soaring obesity rate,” Brazil has installed double wide seats in trains and train stations. Above these seats are signs which say, “Priority Chair For Obese People.”
I suppose that this could be Brazil’s way of trying to shame landbeasts out of their landbeastacious ways. Apparently, no one is sitting in the double wide seats because they’re too embarassed to. But somehow I don’t think they’re necessarily cutting down on the twinkies because of this either.
i always thought those chairs were for when you have multiple kids so you could sit them together to save room in waiting areas *sigh* wrong again
That’s just funny!
Fat people don’t want to use them because people will think they’re fat.
The “fat chair” is a nice shade of blue. All it needs is a nice big whale decal.
I’m not obese but I think I’d sit here anyways. I’m sure the chairs are closer to exits.
I LOVE how the four regular seats are supported with only one steel beam, but the one fatchair is supporeted with two thicker ones, and a crossbeam! Was this yet more insult to guilt them, or do their obese people really weigh as much as like 5 regular people? I mean I’m no wafer, but i can still sit in a plaxstic lawn chair without frear of injury. Or vaccuum.
Correction in spelling;
*plastic.
As you were.
Once again;
*Fear.
and;
*vacuum.
…ah whatever, I’m drinking. Deal with the epic spelling fail.
At least I noticed!
