That's not funny.

It's hilarious.

I'm not exactly thin myself but this is just plain old silly. Lay off on the McDonald's food and you shan't need a second seat.
Can't be arsed.

A very good point Jonesey.

I would imagine this has been an issue on the cards for a while, especially as the obesity rate has never been higher.

I guess for the bigger people its been worth the weight. :roll:

Not everyone who it fat can help it

Another thing to consider is that airline seats a smaller than they used to be.

It's not fair that someone has to pay double because of their physical size
