From The Daily Telegraph:
LARGE-sized clothing should carry tags with an obesity helpline number, a British Medical Journal report has said.
The report, compiled by a group of public health professionals, has recommended the phone numbers be placed on tags on women’s garments sized 16 and above, and on those with a waist measurement of more than 100 centimetres for men.
This is an excellent idea, chubby women will be reminded they need help everytime they struggle to get into their designer jeans.
The large-sized jeans should also have a large sign in the rear end that reads: If you see me at McDonald’s or Burger King please call 800-FAT-COPS to report me.
Plus-size apparel should also be equipped with a gizmo that beeps everytime the rotund person backs up.
Instead of a cool designer logo, clothes for big people should have a trademark depicting Rosie O’Donnell munching on a hamburger.
And it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make all clothing for the horizontally-challenged in red only. That way we would see them coming from a distance, and be prepared to give them a wide berth.
Finally, pants for the obese should be rigged to emit a “farting” noise whenever the overweight individual bends over.
I’m just kidding. I’m just trying to show what a ridiculous idea the British came up with. Stout persons aren’t children, they don’t need clothing with a name tag, or with an obesity helpline number.
Looks like 2 one-legged fat women sharing a folding chair.
That's 39.3" guys.
How many of us in 40" waist jeans consider ourselves to be 'obese'?
Looks like a recent photo of the Congressional budget.
Or they could put a label in clothing for women who are size 2. They could be a ,"Remember to EAT" tag or "A burger once in a while might be a good idea."
And What do we put on those special Hats that Retards Wear??? "Oh, My Names Kenny, I Live In The Building" ???
Neither do the smokers need a Warning label on cigarettes--but it is there and alot of Nanny's right here on FR love it.
1-888-TOO-MUCH
The number will just make the obese people feel worse about themselves and they'll go eat a pan of brownies, four whoppers, fries and several loaves of bread to cover up their pain. Fat people know they are fat...a phone number will NOT help them lose weight or feel better about their circumstances.
I don't know if one of those "wide load" yellow banners they use on eighteen wheeler would fit are not, might be too small.
Regards.
OK, that picture should have carried a warning label for my eyes!
Not me. Every man needs a tool shed.
"Maybe they should work on the state of their countrymen's teeth before they start picking on the obese"
AINT THAT THE TRUTH!!!!:)
I think the folks buying the large clothing already know they are large - they don't need to be insulted while they are spending their hard earned money.
Should mirrors carry warning tags if you're ugly?
The fat didn't stand up for the smokers. Enjoy the tyranny.
