Alright...What's Up with the Fatties?

Don't know what is wrong with the world thinking fat people are to blame for every problem, but we are all getting yelled at and well...measuring up to the problem. A couple hilarious stories have popped up within the past few days. For one, gas prices are screwing us over like the Celtics screwed the Lakers from winning a championship. So what does a major airline try to decide to do? They decide to weigh you. Yes that's right. For every extra pound of blubber you have attached to you, they are going to tax on an extra fee to your ticket. Now, this may be a good idea at first, seeing as this is a huge motivation for people to lose the chub rub they so dearly hate and try to knock off a few pounds. But in the long wrong, it's going to hurt the economy. 62% percent of americans are either over weight or obese. You know what this could to do the food economy? Restaurants would be out of business with people cracking at the pressure of being embarrassed to be weighed at an airport. People would be out of a job and have their families starve, which might actually help them lose weight and not get a fee so that's kind of a pro, but still it's not fair. Imagine all the uneaten Twinkies and bags of Cooler Ranch Doritos that will be sitting there in the store. It's an American tradition to be overweight and who wants to break tradition? People who are un-American. So these airlines are un-american and might be terrorist. So if you don't want to support terrorism, keep on eating fatty and let that scale rise and get to the point where it says "To Be Continued". Wow, I totally spun that around. Fox news should hire me.
