And Red Eye fans know that their “ombudsman” corrected the silly French-speaking comment at the end of the show, BTW. They showed the “seat for fat people” sign which was obviously NOT in French, but she may not have seen the video as she was commenting.

My thought is, why do they have to make it blue and put a sign above it? If I weigh 500# and see a seat twice as big as all the rest, wouldn’t that be where I would choose to sit? Plus if I weigh 500# and am blind from my uncontrolled diabetes, I can’t see a blue seat and a sign anyway...

For the same reason that this woman thinks these clothes "fit" her...
