Obese Have Right To Two Airline Seats

The Supreme Court of Canada decided to not hear an appeal from Canadian airlines on Thursday, effectively ruling obese people have the right to two seats for the price of one. The Canadian Transportation Agency had made a decision earlier that people who are "functionally disabled by obesity" deserve to have two seats for one fare. The appeal had been launched by Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz and WestJet. Now they just have to work on more leg room for tall, fat people and complimentary pie.

  1. Shocking Intolerance by Jekler · · Score: -1, Troll

    Okay, this is my fourth draft of this post. I had wrote a whole lot about intolerance, but really, what's the fucking point. You people are obviously so wrapped up in what it costs you, what it means for you, why can't you get x or y because how DARE someone get allowances for their problem without you getting something too. It doesn't really matter.

    Live your selfish fucking life in your self-centered little world. I'll stay in the world where people look out for each other and think about what we can do for each other, how we can help, instead of worrying about how other people's problems might inconvenience us.
