Woman is offended when kia tech calls her fat.

[JNS Performance]

The Tech did the right thing. That is the procedure your supposed to take to correct the pulling problem. I have had 1 or 2 cases like this before, but the customer never went to Global

I find it funny that she takes it as a complete shock. Its like she became fat overnight and can't handle the harassment.

Also like how the news makes Kia look like the bad guy here, they offered a simple suggestion which would solve her pulling problem but instead emotional Tiffany cry's to the news and suggested automakers build there cars to meet the growing population of over weight individuals, PLEASE. Why should we change everything in are lives to accommodate the overweight population?

Uh huh! So this oil crisis is being caused by these fat obese wastes of skin.... I really dis like fat people.... Time to start doing a blubber tax on overweight people.

you know not everyone is fat because of their lifestyle, although most are. There are people with medical conditions that cause them to either gain weight or have a hard time losing it. That said the majority are just lazy and/or overeat.

I wonder what's next. "False fuel efficiency claims?" while the driver weighs twice of that of a regular driver.

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM.

Your post remineded me of this article.

U.S. scientists have come up with another reason for obese people to lose weight -- excess driver and passenger weight results in excess fuel consumption.

In a 2006 study, University of Illinois Professor Sheldon Jacobson and doctoral student Laura McLay estimated the amount of vehicle fuel consumed as a result of overweight and obese passengers.

Now Jacobson and doctoral student Douglas King have updated the estimates of weight-based fuel consumption and compared them with those reported in 2006.

They said the results aren't good news.

"Growing overweight and obesity rates in the United States continue to increase fuel consumption by adding extra passenger weight to vehicles," said Jacobson. "More than 1 billion gallons of fuel consumed each year can be attributed to this excess weight."

In 2006, Jacobson and McLay found cars and light trucks consumed up to 938 million additional gallons of fuel each year as a result of average weight gain that had occurred since the 1960s. In the new study, Jacobson and King found the amount of additional fuel had jumped by nearly 200 million gallons, to 1.137 billion gallons a year, an increase of about 21 percent.

The study has been accepted for publication in the journal Transport and Environment and posted on its Web site.

being fat is a choice, I can not feel one tad bit sorry for this girl. then when someone calls them overweight its a big deal, who cares, you ARE overweight and YOU decided to be, so deal with it.

[supguyex]

I wonder if she would get embarrassed going to Canada Wonder Land and get denied for going on the rides?

(and lol@the mclaren f1 post. win. I'd also pay up to $20 to see this person try to get into the seat though. group buy?)

i'm in, in all honestly though. really fat, and i mean 300+, people have nobody to blame but themselves. Obviously right? why are they entitiled to special treatment? if they cant cope with what's available then they need to conform not the other way around. The world is getting soft and wimpy all in the name of being nice. I'm an ass, whatever. it's also friday and i just want to go hoooooommmmmmmmeeeeeee.

I hate how people over-exaggerate their situation and feelings when they don't get their way and then explain it to someone who "cares" (reporters). Her feelings weren't what was getting crushed... it was her car.





it's a completely reasonable, logical and factual argument the tech put up, just like the other shop mechanic they showed, he agreed. it's pathetic how kia has to publicly state they they were wrong and that it really is a mechanical issue. the media also made it look like cars really are the problems, and they should be universal in adaptation. even with the seatbelt statement. are you kidding? this woman would get pissed off if her seatbelt didn't fit, and if she was offered a (free) extension she'd do EXACTLY the same thing, getting all offended and whatever.

Gotta say it ( even though its old it's a classic)

Why is a fat girl like a moped?
Cause they're both fun to ride until your friends see you on one !
