Airlines
Outraged at Southwest Airlines and the industry in general. Not just because Kevin Smith got booted off a plane for being too fat (which he's not, that situation was complete bs and you can google it to learn more). But that situation is all too common and just makes me mad at the big picture. FACT- Skinny people don't deserve to get squished next to fatties on an airplane. FACT- Fat people don't deserve to be put in that situation either.
I think flight is one of the most miraculous things ever invented. The fact that we can fly never ceases to amaze me. Its almost equally mind boggling that the airline industry hasn't yet thought of a way for big people to fly without being humiliated or inconveniencing others. This just in, there are a lot of fat people in the world, some are really fat, and every once in a while those people have a need to fly on an airplane. I'm not advocating being fat (I actually wouldn't recommend it) but the reason someone is overweight has nothing to do with it. Making a fat person buy 2 seats on a flight is the equivalent of charging an ugly woman twice as much for a make-over. Airplanes are designed to cram as many tiny and uncomfortable seats as possible in them. I don't know who these airlines are designing seats for, Gymnasts? Jockeys? Americans are getting fatter, for good or bad its the truth... airline seats are getting smaller. Its a cash grab and a completely unfair system that is designed to maximize profits with no consideration or respect for the customers. But for now, there is no alternative. The first airline that actually makes some kind accommodation for fat people (not, buy an extra seat) should get a Nobel Prize and everyone's business forever. C'mon mankind, I think we have the technology!
