You're obese, get off the plane!

A couple of times, I've been charged a fortune for going one or two kilos over my allowed baggage weight.

Most times it led me to grumble about how unfair it is that the large number of enormous people who are given the same baggage allowance as me, fly on the same plane while taking up a hell of a lot more weight and space in the cabin, with their rolls of fat, sausage gut and morbidly obese massiveness.

Of course, I never thought that any airline would share that completely non-politically correct opinion - especially an airline in the U.S.

But United Airlines have had hundreds of complaints from people who've had the same thought as me, yet acted on it by making their thoughts known to the airline.

So the Guardian reports that United have decided to bump fat people off busy flights, and make them pay for TWO SEATS on the next flight! That's wild!

But I completely agree. Clearly it would be unfair to discriminate against people who are moderately chubby, since it could be argued that they don't actually make much of an impact on the space left for other passengers. But when someone can't fit into a seat then damn right, make them pay for the two seats they take up!

On another note, apparently fat people are being blamed for Global Warming. Now that's ridiculous.
