I'm fat. You pay for my food. That's why I'm poor, and have no food.

America doesn't suck because we're fat, we suck because our education is obviously lacking. <3

The title should say "Fat Japanese People now illegal in Japan"

They are biased against their own kind, not everyone in general >.>

Jesus christ. THANK YOU. lol

It's not illegal to talk on your cellphone and drive in N.Y.
Just because you get fined and ticketed, doesnt make it illegal.

Um no. Reread for once. (Ludo)

right said:
Under Japan’s health care coverage, companies administer check-ups to employees once a year. Those who fail to meet the waistline requirement must undergo counseling. If companies do not reduce the number of overweight employees by 10 percent by 2012 and 25 percent by 2015, they could be required to pay more money into a health care program for the elderly.


Article is misleading. End of story. lol


um yeah.

I liked this thread more when being fat was still illegal.

So Scragg, are you a Japan watcher of some sort?

This is the 2nd time I distinctly remember a post by you that's pointing out some quirk that the Japanese engage in. (The first was about the brawl in the JP legislature)

Being half Japanese this makes me feel a little uncomfortable for large number of reasons, not the least of which is that you run a website that influences a large number of ppl.

I notice that articles about the lunacy in the US are few and far between.

Just sayin...

I like the law stating that its illegal to be thin.

See, it can go both ways.

Not sure what you are talking about there. I just got this article from digg.

http://digg.com/world_news/Fat_People_Now_Illegal_in_Japan_Should_Be_Easy_to_Catch

It's currently on the front page. I didn't know about the sensationalist headline.

I love Japan and it's culture. I have a Japanese website http://jp.ffxiah.com . My wife lived in Japan for a couple years, she helps me read Japanese. My bedroom is decorated with a Japanese theme, I can even take a pic. I even have 2 fake bamboo trees in it. :)
