Americans are becoming too fat for x-ray machines. BBC News reports that

The nation’s rising obesity problems mean many citizens are not only too large for scanners but they have too much fat for the rays to penetrate.

And it’s not just x-ray scanners. They’re having to make stronger wheelchairs. They’re needing wider doors and stronger beds. As the Associated Press reported a few months ago:

Issues extend beyond the patient’s room. Operating tables have been widened because the girth of some patients was lapping over the table, in some cases all the way to the floor, Becker said. CT scan machines weren’t wide enough. Syringes with the longest available needles - 4 1/2 inches - couldn’t penetrate the fat.

And it continues…

At Barnes-Jewish, lift machines help some patients get in and out of bed. Chairs have been made stronger and wider. Lights have been added at floor level because the bodies of extremely obese people can cast a shadow that makes it hard to see the floor.

Theme parks have started offering “Big Boy” seats on their thrill rides. Airlines are burning more fuel in flight. We even need sturdier car seats for our supersized children.

Wow. When a 4-1/2 inch needle still isn’t enough to penetrate your fat, you deserve to die. Whatever ails you should be fatal… it needs to be fatal. You are poisoning the gene pool.

This is sick. How do you look in the mirror every day? How do you wake up, pull a tent out of the closet, wrap it around yourself, and go out into public without committing suicide? Oh…. and one more thing. How the fuck do you wipe your ass?
