:dead: Some people. :nope:

I have a brilliant fix for this. We could fly them to the U.S. and employ them as PR figureheads for the bailouts; "We're too big to fail"
Hell, the marketing practically writes itself.

[AngusJS]

That family is so pathetic, it's almost unbelievable.
"We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don't know how."Well, they could start by not consuming 3000 calories everyday. Did they try that?

I wonder if Michelin are hiring blimps? :88)

If fat wouldnt be lighter than water they could be used as ship anchors.

[Letum]

They screwed up their one shot at life.

[Skybird]

And into the Sahara, shipping sand.

Works wonders: the excercising, the sweating.

[Max2147]

Put these people in the dictionary under the 'Fail at life' entry.

Hereditary obesity is an issue, but it can be overcome with a healthy diet and exercise. Sure, they have to work harder at it than the rest of us, but it's nothing that a normal person can't do.

Obesity is a huge problem (no pun intended) where I come from (Wisconsin). People like to blame their genes, and that may have something to do with it, but the real reason is their lifestyle. They get up in the morning, SIT at the breakfast table, SIT in their big cars on their drive to work, SIT in their office all day, SIT in their car on the drive home, SIT in front of the TV at home, SIT at the dinner table, SIT in front of the TV again, and go to bed. Add in a ton of fatty foods, and you get a lot of fat people.

These folks ought to play some sports or get in the gym. It's not just healthy, it's fun. It's not like they don't have the time.

Emma, said: "I'm a student and don't have time to exercise"
How many hours study does a hairdressing student have to put in each week?
What a pathetic bunch of spongers:down:

Hardly. It is well within their power to correct their past wrongdoings.

[Task Force]

I have no issues with fat people... they are people too. they deserve the respect everyone else deserves. But saying they are fat a** and cant get there fat meat slabs off the couch and work is a load of s*i%. They arnt too fat to go get that cheese cake out of the ice box are they. or that peanut butter on the top shelf. There fat is just a good excuse to not work.

If I were them I would be imbarased. Geting known for being fat and being paid because of this.

[AVGWarhawk]

Wow, the blonde on the right is hot:o

[A Very Super Market]

I sincerely hope you're joking. As for their excuse for not working, I swear, I have a teacher who is fatter than any of them, so I doubt the validity of that.

[Task Force]

yea. ive seen fatter people than them working perfectly fine.

[FIREWALL]

I don't think I met a single pimple-faced overweight nerd at the subsim meet. Just nerds of all kinds, and I'm proud to be one:salute:

Maybe if they cut back on the amount of food on the table they could live better!:doh:

Heck, I'm a student at a pretty well-known American university, and I just picked up two new sports this year!

Yes , so you are obviously not completly lazy like these spongers are.

[Kapitan_Phillips]

I'm working as a hospital porter, plan to study a psychology course, possibly become a Special Constable AND play American Football (when the next tryout rotation hits)


Fatties! :damn:

[jumpy]

If nothing else they should be eligible for employment as ballast.

£22,508 a year in benefits, equivalent to the take-home pay from a £30,000 salary... that's more than our household earns combined working our arses off. Do they have no dignity?

The family claim to spend £50 a week on food and consume 3,000 calories each a day. The recommended maximum intake is 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men.
"We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner," Mrs Chawner told Closer magazine.
"All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensivePerhaps if they walked to the local veg market they'd loose some damned weight and find a cheaper source of greens.

The utter cheek of it.

Fat *****. Get a life that doesn't revolve around your lazy stomachs! :mad:

[Aramike]

Hmm, they're are clearly able to grocery shop, yet no one can get even a clerical job where they don't have to move?

These people are unapologetic freeloaders. Maybe, instead of money, the government should just send them salads every day.

[NeonSamurai]

I got a better idea, cut them off.

[AVGWarhawk]

I got a better idea, cut them off.

:yep:

Thank you James :DL

I'm kind of relieved that I didn't swindle the taxman last year or a little over two two of them might have starved :stare:

[fatty]

Fatties! :damn:

Don't hate :(

[Zachstar]

That is complete and utter bull****

there is only a SMALL amount of population out there that truly are unable to lose weight without getting seriously ill.

If someone says its genes they are most likely fibbing.

There is no need to hate people because they are fat but I have utter disgust for people who take advantage of that to get stuff from other people.

If someone claims they cant work because they are fat they are utterly fibbing I know people who have more weight then these folks who work full time shifts. Yes they get tired quicker than others but they work. These people are simply afraid of work in my view.

[nikimcbee]

Time to eat less, work more.:nope: Go buy those guys some push lawn-mowers, and they can mow ever park in the UK.:stare:

[Task Force]

Good job for them... Paperweight... ofcource!!! Your papers will never fly away again. and will be flat.

[antikristuseke]

But if they do fly away you are screwed, as these bastards are to fat to try to catch them, nevermind chase after them.

[Frame57]

MMMMmmmm Me and that Blond and a 10 pound sack of flour.....Love potion number nine...:woot:
