Members of a Swedish Weight Watchers clinic said a floor collapsed from under a group of about 20 dieters participating in a weighing event.

The participants said they were gathered at the Vaxjo clinic Wednesday night to measure the amount of weight they had lost with the help of the program when they heard a loud noise shortly followed by the collapse of the floor, Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyra reported Thursday.

"We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls," one of the members said.

The group said the floor then gave out in other parts of the room and the smell of sewage spread throughout the area.

"We're going to have to find a replacement premises," Weight Watchers consultant Therese Levin said.

The participants, who were not injured, said they finished weighing one another in a nearby hallway.

Weight Watchers said the cause of the collapse is being investigated.

A nice way of reporting that some of the members $#!t their britches?

[duckman]

This would never of happened to the Swedish Bikini Team.

Now, that's funny.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Both, The Onion and Scrappleface couldn’t of written about this any better.

[domenad]

As a fat guy, I must say I would have laughed myself sick if the collapse revealed hidden stashes of Oreos.

[hoe_cake]

at least these folks are working on their weight. It is funny, unfortunately.

[Interesting Times]

Some headlines don’t really require an article.

Weight Watchers said the cause of the collapse is being investigated.

Nope, not me. Too easy.

You never hear of this problem at an Anorexics Anonymous meeting. Just sayin'.

[Plutarch]

Weight Watchers said the cause of the collapse is being investigated.

Just like the Hasan investigation, great effort will be expended to avoid the obvious.

[abigailsmybaby]

lol Sounds like a SNL skit.

[dfwgator]

Not a ringing endorsement for Weight Watchers, is it?

[Petronski]

As a man of, er, substantial carriage, I have nothing to add.

[llevrok]

Wow. Heavy, dude.

[gman992]

Ping!!!

[JoeProBono]

LOL! Heh Heh

[Larry Lucido]

measure the amount of weight they had lost

Apparently, they dropped a whole LOT of weight!

[Petronski]

These folks should join Fatties United instead. The t-shirts are way cooler.

I once saw a wedding reception with so many fat people, when they got up to dance, the band skipped.

[gimme1ibertee]

[woofie]

[JoeProBono]

[who knows what evil?]

Is that another one of Begala and Carville’s ‘comedy bits’?

You just can't make this stuff up! Bwaaaaaaaa!!!

[MrB]

I call “photoshopped” on that one...

Otherwise, that woman would be more classified as a “giant” than as a “big girl”.

[Grizzled Bear]

Heavy Ping!

[festusbanjo]

Who knew that Laurel and Hardy were actually married?

[the_devils_advocate_666]

I call “photoshopped” on that one...

Is it me or does the big girl's bouquet look bigger as well?

[MrB]

Good eye... definitely.

I feel bad for the target of the ‘shopping here, she’s not unattractive or anything, just what is sometimes called “big boned”.

I bet Laz would “hit it”....

[Lazamataz]

I'd roll it in flour.

Then I'd hit it.

[greatdefender]

If they had those body scanners, this would not happened! /s

[Lazamataz]

I'd hit it.

I'd hit it.

I'd hit it.

I'd hit it.

I'd hit it.

[Mobties]

“Weight Watchers said the cause of the collapse is being investigated.”

Gotta weigh all the evidence.

[MrB]

We’re talking about the flour (sic) girl in the wedding photo, there...

If that pic isn’t ‘shopped, you’d need a stepladder to hit that.

[cripplecreek]

Gonna put a hell of a strain on the scales of justice.

[Recon Dad]

Two suggestions for the future.

1. Do your weigh-ins on the first floor

2. Tell your members to quit cheating on their diets!

[Lazamataz]

Hit.

Hit.

Hit.
