Bigger People -> Bigger Cars

SO, my question is what happens to someone like me who my wife says has no A$$.  It is kind of sad that this is happening, but at the same time, it's happening all over the place. I mean think about what the #1 complaint about going to a ball game is - aside of the price, it's the seat size.  I mean, I"m 5'7" 180 and a little chubby, but I'm lucky when I fly or go someplace, I can fit in almost all things.  Watch people on planes, etc. It's crazy that we should have to cater to people on that level, but at the same time, we SHOULD cater to the guy who is 6'8 or the pregnant lady.  Anyway, I don't want to sound mean or get into a discussion about how overweight people are treated, but there are limits, in my opinion.

Hmmmm... I'd almost think there's be some peer pressure NOT to buy a Ford if that's the case.  Yeah, everyones way too supersized and doesn't do anything about it, but everyone still trys to "look" slimmer (I can't imagine all these late night infomercials being on all the time otherwise).  If I wanted that perception of being slimmer, I'd wear black clothing, suck in the gut, and NOT drive around in an oversized Ford. 

Will they come with bumper stickers that read "my a__ was too big for a chevy"? 

The same thing is happening with clothes.  I'm on the short and fit side of things, and within the past year, many department stores have stopped carrying pants in my size, with the excuse that the smaller sizes don't sell very well.   My argument is that if you don't carry the product, then of course it's not going to sell very well.  Why is it that when stores previously carried the smaller men's sizes that they were always sold out?  Obviously, there is a market.  Hello!   Also, I like how manufacturers are changing the labelling on their clothes.   Forget about finding dress shirts and slacks....that's just a nightmare.  I've become very familiar with simply having of my work clothes custom made to fit me, especially since supersizing my a$$ for the sake of fitting into ready-made clothing in department stores is not likely to happen.

Also, since when are men's "small" briefs made to fit a 30-32" waist?  At one time (well, not long ago) a "small" was 28-30.  So, now we're deluding outselves into believing people are still small by changing the labels on the clothing.  What will happen when a small becomes 32-34 and my waist hasn't kept pace with the increase?

No sympathy here since Abercrombie & Fitch only make pants up to a 38".

If you think about it, society in general is upsizing.  Bigger houses, bigger vechiles, bigger meal portions, super sizing, etc.  Kinda annoying if you ask me.  I mean, if we start accomadating lager people, why not accomdate others such as us short people who have a hard time reaching things in groceries stores on the top shelves??  Just using that as an example, and there's several more.  I mean, if you're going to accomodate larger people that's pretty much saying- hey, it's ok if you're overwight and have health problems because we'll make it more comfortable and easier for you??  What???  What about peoples' live sand health at risk??  But I guess Ford is smart because they obviously know what the majority of the people are willing to buy.

Maybe they should design smaller cars and include a one year membership to the local gym with every new car purchase.

Nooo....not spandex underwear!

Look on the bright side- you wouldn't even have to worry about underwear if you just wear your tri shorts all the time!  It's a 2 for 1 deal- you can't beat that!  Just think- in winter you can just wear running tights.  No need to worry.

I'm sure spandex running tights would feel rather unusal underneath a pair of wool 3-season dress slacks.  ;-)  On the bright side, I can always shower with the spandex tights on, and then not have to worry about washing them.  What a fantastic time saver!
