As God Is My Witness, They've Never Gone Hungry

And also as God is my witness, I will never, ever get on one of these fucking things unless they are shipping my cold, dead body in the cargo hold.

I especially liked this phrase:

A cabin designed around a large sample of today’s real passengers providing more space regardless of class of ticket, wider seats and aisles.
Translation: "We got out a fucking huge tape measure and were shocked to discover that most of our passengers—but especially those sitting in the cheap seats—were horrifyingly obese, so we had no choice but to build this big goddamn plane to accommodate their ridiculously large asses."

Sadly, this is just another in a long string of "accommodations" for the insanely obese—a trend which I for one am getting a little sick of. I don't want to seem insensitive to the plight of the overweight, but I do resent paying more for just about every product and service I use because it had to be re-engineered for this growing (no pun intended) group. Lay off the fucking McDonald's, people.

According to Jon Stewart, the Airbus only seats 400 American passengers . . . 800 for the rest of the world.

I'm really ok with that. But, I'd like some of us that are challenged in other ways, to get consideration also at the expense of those more perfect. Perhaps the bald can be given pleasing hair systems, less interesting can be cue cards with stock stories to tell. The short can be given shoe lifts, and republicans can be given warm mayonaise to play with. Something like that...cheers..
