America has a weight problem?
 
I heard this mentioned on the radio this morning.

"Airlines struggle with seating for 'large' people. The best solution would be to take out half the seats and charge double for the ones remaining" :o

Anyhow I present "National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance" :06:

Why do fat people get the same handluggage allowance as everyone else?

The 13kg I'm allowed HAS to be taken up just by their boobs :doh:

But on a more serious note, I'd like to see airlines make a bit more of an effort for tall people. I've been on several flights, and have been rather uncomfortable, so instead of pandering to fat people, who have the ability to change the way they are, why not cut ME some slack, because I cant? :cry:
