Southwest Air...Marketing Blunder?? (page 3)

I really do think it was because I had grown a beard (over the Christmas holidays) and probably look a bit shifty.

Hahaha!

Watch, next all the "big" people will be running to the ACLU (who I am personally sick to death of) and asking them to file a claim against SWA.

They will come up with some reason like they are being discriminated against, or claim to be an American with Disability, and so on.

My best girlfriend is 6 feet tall and weighs 300 pounds easily. I will not go to the movies with her. Period. She and I went out to lunch together to a place called John's Incredible Pizza....they have a buffet line. My plate was full of lean proteins and green veggies with fat free dressing. Her plate? CARBS CARBS CARBS with butter added for good measure. Then she wants to tell me about her 'thyroid disorder.' I was like, YEAH of course your thyroid is jacked....look at what you eat!

I think a good compromise...if you can get a note from your doctor saying you have a verifiable thyroid disorder (which invariably some obese will use as an excuse) then FINE don't pay extra.

If, due to your laziness and lack of exercise and proper nutrition, you are .... too big for your britches, TOUGH TITTY.

I say this, carrying an extra 35 pounds from the pregnancy that I am working like hell to get off. NO, I would NEVER want to be obese....life would be SO hard.

That is soooo true! How funny! Everyone has something the ACLU could cover. Now is too many chips and not enough movement!

I forgot to mention....as I heard this on TV, they had the newspeople trying to be neutral...it was funny. They gave the airline spokesperson a very hard time.

i think if think they should start keeping children in cages on flights. it always seems that i get some little kid behind me that insists on kicking the back of my seat or playing with the tray table. hmmmmm......kennels could prove to be very promising.....

I think part of the promotion should include handing out corsets at the gate and showing basic exercise and nutrition videos at the beginning of the flight. I mean, we're American. We can help being big, fat, lazy slobs. You've gotta do something, or in a few years the mandatory ticket price will become two seats.

I only wish I was kidding.

LMAO @ eyegirl

Maybe a cage would have come in handy for that poor little boy that had to witness his Daddy boinking some broad that wasn't his Mama or even his wife.

Eyegirl,

When a kid is kicking your chair, all it takes is turning backwards and asking that it stops. I've done that twice in as nice a voice as possible. Both times the mother was very apologetic and was happy to keep her kid in check. Even if they respond rudely, everyone around them sees who is the beast and who isn't.

andee, thank you for putting that so eloquently--wasn't my choice not to lock the door. and billygoat--i did try looking back, then looking back and asking if the child could please stop. didn't really work. i don't have kids.....yet. perhaps that is why i don't have patience for people who raise children that are impolite.

THIS POST IS NOT DIRECTED at ANY of our pleasantly plumb women running around, this is direct towards 350lbs that think they have a right to encroach upon MY PERSONAL SPACE.

Having been crushed between one of these LARD ASSES and the fuselage wall of a Southwest flight that was full I say HELL YES make em buy two seats. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing I can think of that would be worse would be getting crushed between TWO large Albanian women with excruciating body odor.
