    And?

    Fat people get the same size drinks as everyone else and could never possibly slake their gargantuan thirsts by, er, buying more of them. Your orignial post still doesn't make sense.

    Good Christ, you're right. *shoots self.*

    There's probably only about 2 dozen people on the whole island who would want to go to a nightclub.

    I can't see how turning anyone away would make sense.

    Maybe in this place:

    Jesus not another "fat birds" thread.

    In any case if it was due to health and safety like putting an obese person at the emergency exit on a plane, fine, but a nightclub. BS really.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Maybe it's fat drunken girls wedged into stilletos that seem to think other peoples feet are the dance floor when they're flailing and stomping around.

    If the manager had a brain he would of just told the bouncers to refuse fat birds because the wernt the type of customer the club wanted. 'Management reserves the right' and not give any reason... instead of actually telling them 'it is coz you is fat'. Seems like a publicity stunt... then again its in Jersey which hardly has a huge target market...

    I'm not so sure about that. I believe a number of years back Q Bar in Dublin was sued for refusing a man in his 70's who was out with his family celebrating a birthday.

    I can see next weeks headlines now.
    Ryanair ban fat people.
    They're too heavy for my planes says O' Leary. "With the removal of all these rolly pollies from regular services we will be able to reduce the amount of fuel we need in the planes and therby continue to offer LOW-LOW prices," said the media friendly head honcho of the no frills airline. O' Leary is sure to be contacted by the EU equality commision regarding this contraversial move but the clever air maestro has a trick up his sleeve; "Yes I can confirm that we're considering the option of special fat person flights. We're going to call it Fat-Bottomed Girls Air; the flights will be just like the flights that us skinny people take except we'll be using planes especially adapted for the fatties. Boeing do a special model of 747 where the nose cone can be opened to accomdate large loads." "It will also allow us to fit in a burger bar and chipper." quipped the air commisar.


    Thin end of the wedge tbh!!!!

    a Facebook protest page has been set up

    Wow, that'll teach them. Imagine the publicity of a place that DOESN'T have fat chicks, they'll be closed in days.

    Are they actually trying to claim that this is health and safety issue, or a matter of space, or have they admitted the truth - that guys want to go to clubs full of hot women in skimpy clothing so they can look at them.

    It's the same principle as the "ladies free in before 11" thing which used to go on. Men spend way more money in clubs and pubs than women do, therefore more hot women = more men = more money.

    If a club has a reputation for having unattractive women, it attracts less men (but probably attracts more unattractive women). If a club has a reputation of being full of young, nimble, attractive little hotties, there'll be a queue of men a mile long.

    It's simple economics.

    Well most nightclubs refuse someone if they have drunk too much, so why not if they have eaten too much. 'sorry not tonight ladies, ya seem to have a bit too much cake onboard. Come back next week maybe....'

    I admire this man in his crusade against the morbidly obese!

    But I do see a business opportunity here, how long before someone opens "Big Momma's" across the road?!

    Peronally I find all these obese stories horrible.

    Size 14 is generally that of an average sized girl - not slim but certainly not big. It's that size at which pudginess is starting but can be easily hidden. In general though - it depends on the girl's height, build etc too.

    I don't see anything hugely wrong with this. If a nightclub didn't let people who smoked in, that wouldn't cause much uproar, yet essentially this isn't a million miles away from it.

    Anyone who has seen Super Size Me may remember the scene where they are discussing smoking, and how it is perfectly acceptable to tell people they shouldn't smoke, its bad for them,etc. One person then remarks "how long will it take before we can tell people to stop being fat? That it's bad for them, and they should try to get healthy"

    This will happen...

    eventually
    You're not comparing like with like. Smoking is banned in public places because of the health risk posed by passive smoking.

    Yep, it looks as if that's the reason why.

    Maybe its because when they stop dancing, they keep on jiggling!!

    In fairness though, fat birds do try harder ;)

    fair play to the bouncers I say, they spared some poor sod from waking up next to that beast the next morning.

    Isn't an American size 14 different to what a size 14 would be over here?
