why not just put some cheetos in the passenger seat, that way skinny can lean over to eat while she drives...because we know she's not going to stop eating for an instant while she drives.

 

I can't believe someone would go on tv to bitch about being so fat that their car won't drive strait.

If I was her I honestly would have requested that they align it w/ me in the car before they ever thought of it.

 

my uncle is just as morbidly obese as she si... and he drives a toyota corolla, but guess what .... HE KNOWS HES FAT. he knows that he puts wear and tear on the car, and woulnt be offended by that ****. the dealer was just trying to make a fat persons car go strait.

 

see...canadians are fat too!

 

Ha ha ha .... this is in my City. Canada's fat too.

 

She would be a perfect nascar driver, her car already turns left.

 

I wonder what the corner weights were?!?

 

The thing that bothers me here isn't that the lady is fat, or that she's an idiot for buying a Kia Rio, or that she's got sand in her vagina because the folks at the dealership were "mean" to her. It's her right to be a total retard and be miserable about it.

What bothers me is that the reporter treats her with sympathy and actually states that businesses and society have some implicit duty to adapt to the needs of the morbidly obese in the same way that they'd adapt to the needs of the physically handicapped. Say what you will about slow news days, feel-good journalism, etc., but I've done my time in the newsroom, and without being in any way egotistical I can say that what people watch on TV, particularly social news programming, does in fact influence their perceptions of reality.

When I worked in the production dept at WCJB, the producer would never have let that kind of syrupy BS on the air. And she'd probably have assigned the writer who pitched the story to do a three part expose on the local sewage treatment plant as punishment.

 

I knew someone who had this guy come in to his dealership saying that his wife was complaining of a hard pull to the left on her new car. They aligned it, said it was fine, guy drove home and came back the next day saying she is still noticing a pull. They did this two or three times before it dawned on them to politely ask if his wive was a big heavier. She was like 300 something. They asked if she would mind sitting in the car for the alignment, she did, fixed the pull. Didn't see her bitching about it on the TV..

 

Gotta love the world we live in. Everyone is slowely going retarded. And I agree with Joe. Im used to fat people bitching about their weight, but its the fact that some people out there have sympathy for huge bitches like they are helpless to their weight. Im very pissed that obesity is treated as, and called a disease, or sickness these days. A person could have a disease, or genes that would possibly sway them to being a bit easier to gain weight, but anyone that ******* big is just lazy. STOP ******* EATING! MOVE AROUND A BIT! WALK TO THE MAILBOX INSTEAD OF BEATING YOUR POOR HUSBAND TO GET IT FOR YOU! Jesus.

 

No sympathy for obese people who can help it and choose not to AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. No, I won't feel bad for you fat bitch, and no, nothing in my society should change because you eat babies. Also, the dealer did fine. No reason to sugar coat it. **** that pansy ****.

 

+a trillion. There will always be dumb people and there will always be fat people. The world can deal with that. And even when nature shows its humor and makes a mongo that is BOTH fat AND dumb, the golf stream will continue to flow. It is when the sad mongo is alowed to run her sob story on TV, supported by air headed blondes that the world is really going down.

And making the airseats larger is fucked up!! It allows for the fattos to come over here! Come to think of it, she probably would not have fitted thru the doors of the KIA dealship here...

PS. My Bimmer is officially legal and Swedish from today. Anybody want some arian German plates?

 

I'm 6'3" about 300lbs...I have two Miatas...that I drive DAILY. No pull...no complaints. I would weigh less IF I could work out more...I try to eat healthy...and I walk daily. I'm physically not able to do more now...but will lose weight when I can. I doubt this is her issue...I doubt she served...I think the ONLY thing she has done is been lazy. Before enlisting...I lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks to get in the door...I know it can be done if it is wanted badly enough.

That being said...even when I was 200lbs...I still had trouble buying cars and clothes. I had a 52" chest...which is why I bought a mercedes - somehow made for fat people? I had a 32" waist and shopped in the big and tall stores. I think America's stores should be more open to obese people...but by no means create special caveats just for them. If I want to ride a bike...I'll buy a 1500, not a CB650 and wonder why the **** it won't accelerate.

 

+1, I want to know if that was recent...they need emails about how stupid they sound.
