She needs to put a grizzly bear in the passenger seat to provide counter balance... and maybe even get the bear to hold a couple of cinder blocks.

with all the money she spent on burgers and fries, she could have bought a nicer car.

i bet if she sat in the passenger seat it would pull to the right

This is what an engineering student from another forum wrote to the journalist
LOL
------------------------------------------


"Good day.

I suspect my thoughts are inline with the vast majority of the public in regards to your recent story regarding the "FAT" woman and automotive issues.
Your spurious attempt to pull on the heart strings of compassion is a despicable substitute for real journalism. As a reporter, I think you have fallen far short of journalistic integrity and professionalism.

I weep for the future of Global News and the Canadian media if this is the type of story you are encouraged by your editorial staff to report.
The woman is clearly beyond healthy, and well outside the realm of the 95th percentile that automotive designers aim to accommodate. Her purchase of a sub-compact car is tantamount to a 7 foot tall man purchasing a sports car, and complaining about the head room.

No matter the cause of her obesity. people like this are not to be presented as hard done by and victims of their own situation. She knew she was fat, and yet chose to purchase a small car that is ill suited to her needs. I applaud the restraint and tact displayed by the dealership, although I suspect it is only driven out of fear of further slander from your 'news' agency.

The only satisfaction I'm able to extract from the editorial piece you've chosen to present is this: in 10 years time, when the woman is struggling to cope with severe diabetes, plaque stricken arteries and frequent heart palpitations that put her on a fast track to death or an expensive government paid surgery, the drivabiltiy and alignment of her car will be the least of her worries.

Please revert to actual news broadcasting. I understand the emotional appeal of defending the weak and standing up for the "little guy" (yes that's a pun)... but there is zero news value to stories like this, and doing so only dilutes your journalistic integrity."

McDonald booth seats are too small, they're discriminating against the obese.

It's like when you want to relax after work, and instead of having 1 beer with your girlfriend on a patio, you chug a 40oz of Everclear and strap yourself to the wing of an F-22 Raptor about to take off.

Even worse is the part after where they talk about seatbelt extenders because they can't fit around them just as they are...like seriously you're that fucking fat and your main safety concern is flying through the windshield? I'd think you're more likely to die of a heartattack in the drivers seat than anything a seatbelt will do for you at that point.

LOL OMG... Bad story about seatbelt extenders...

I was on a plane with my aunt from HK to Chongqing to go on a cruise through the Three Gorges Dam. Anyways, we're talking in Canto and this FAT white dude sits across from us and tries to put on his seatbelt. It wouldn't fit so he asked for an extender. Then my aunt mumbled "wah... gum fei!" (Whoa, so fat!) and I snickered. I'm sure he heard us.

Then the white dude started chatting with the flight attendant in fluent Canto.

ive only seen them bring that out once, and that was for some kid that would not sit in his seat during take off and landing, so the mom had to hold him while the plane took off and landed...

my story was my trip back from hk to toronto (earliest flight i could get)
some fat lady sat in first class on air canada. they have those new what i called "coffin" style first class seats, where they can lay flat and u can sleep. anyhow, first, she refused to put down the shade so my area was blinded with the bright sky from outside. 2ndly, when she did go to sleep, she had to fucking roll over. Doesnt sound bad right? cept for the blanket wasnt big enough for her, so when she rolled over, the worse case scenario happened. Fat women, not enough blanket, rolling over, in a moo moo dress. i was horrified, and watched ironman twice hoping it would erase the horrid picture i just saw...

Im not saying im a skinny fuck, or even a fit fuck, but hell, if my fat as ever gets that big, either kill me, or force me to do something about my health. you cant blame society anymore.

Lol, seriously is it that hard to figure out that the CAR IS TOO SMALL FOR YOU. It's like fat people trying to fit into smaller clothing. And i'm getting fed up with fat people who act like they have some sort of non-curable disease and the entire world should feel sorry for them and fulfill their every need. Stop eating, go on a diet and workout!
