Weight Watchers floor collapses

[FireDancer]

I'm glad you find fat people funny.

If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport that one would have won the gold.

 

[Donnainnj]

I'm Fat. It's funny.

I wonder how he would feel if the headline had said Firehouse burnt down whiile firefighters stood around s moking

If no one was hurt (as in this case) that would be pretty darn funny too.

Once I found out no one was hurt I could see the irony in this situation. I too am pooh-sized and not offended that anyone sees the irony.

So how many skinny people go to weight watchers?

Not everyone who attends WW meetings is morbidly obese. A wide range of members are slightly chubby or at their goal weight trying to maintain. The irony here is that the floor collapsed AT a WW's meeting. No one was laughing that "fat people" broke a floor.

Right, but was the anorexia comment necessary?

I don't laugh about that either.

I'm fat. No one was hurt so it's funny!

Personally I'm going to use it as an excuse not to go to WW!

This is a perfect example of how absurd the disboards have become. This article made me laugh big time. It's not being insensitive to laugh because we aren't laughing at the people it is just like everyone said the "irony." Some people have nothing better to do than sit on the disboards with their panties in a wad and cut people up for their opinions.. Get a LIFE!

I go to Weight Watchers and I'm not fat. Not everyone at WW is fat

 

[redlight]

It's funny.

 

[I Am What I Am]

I find it a bit funny. It's irony.

Of course if anyone had been hurt it wouldn't be funny.

 

[paintnolish]

I vote for funny. Dh does as well. Then again, we laugh at The Family Guy, which is generally offensive. It would not have been funny, obviously, if anyone had gotten hurt.

 

[MizTink]

I'm glad you find fat people funny.

fat people breaking chairs is funny too! i say this because it happened to my DSIS, who is fat too, and we both laughed hysterically until we cried!!!

Members of a Swedish Weight Watchers clinic said a floor collapsed from under a group of about 20 dieters participating in a weighing event.

The participants said they were gathered at the Vaxjo clinic Wednesday night to measure the amount of weight they had lost with the help of the program when they heard a loud noise shortly followed by the collapse of the floor, Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyra reported Thursday.

"We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls," one of the members said.

The group said the floor then gave out in other parts of the room and the smell of sewage spread throughout the area.

"We're going to have to find a replacement premises," Weight Watchers consultant Therese Levin said.

The participants, who were not injured, said they finished weighing one another in a nearby hallway.

Weight Watchers said the cause of the collapse is being investigated.


Nope, not me. Too easy.

You never hear of this problem at an Anorexics Anonymous meeting. Just sayin'.

Believe me. I love irony as much as the next person, but it would appear that people were injured. If only the participants who were NOT injured were able to finishing weighing in a hallway that means those who were injured were not able to weigh.

Or am I the only one to read it that way?

 

[Darsa]

Nope, the comma makes the difference. "The participants, who were not injured" says to me that none of the participants were hurt.

Another fat chick here who thought it was funny, since noone was hurt.

 

[MiniGirl]

I stand corrected. I think I need a stronger perscription as I completely missed the commas. LOL!!!

Note to self: Call eye doctor in the morning.

I am a WW member and find that hilarious! As others have said, it's the irony that makes it so funny. People take themselves far to seriously. You've gotta laugh every now and then. And as others have said, it wouldn't have been funny if someone would have been injured.
