    Fattism

    On Saturday, Lady Tester and I visited the local trade fair, where lots of businesses from the region displayed their wares to the public. Unfortunately it was all a bit cramped, there being many businesses enthusiastically displaying their consumercrap and many consumers wishing to view the crap on offer.

    A source of some annoyance was the habit of certain exceptionally rotund people to stand in the middle of the aisles blocking thoroughfare for other visitors. I have noticed this same phenomenon in supermarket aisles, doorways in general, lifts and other places where a large number of people must pass through a limited space. Would it be fattist to place signs in such places requesting that ‘gravitationally challenged people’ consider the needs of others when choosing a place to stand? Is it not a source of some shame to notice that one is capable of blocking a 2 metre wide aisle with only one’s bulbous and expanding body?

    I don't wish to be insulting, but could the ever growing number of fat people please consider the room they are occupying and avoid standing around in places where they block everyone else?

      We need to stop keeping them artificailly alive, let nature take its course, and watch them all die. This just isn't just for fat people, but should be applied in all cases for everyone.

        Deciding where to stand is the least of my worries. I haven't seen my willy for over three years

            You are merely a head with some squiggly bits at the bottom, so you should stop complaining.

              This is an outrage.
