Un-Fucking-Believable!!

Lawmakers want to deny fat people (as definaed by the state and their bogus BMI charts) the right to eat out.

Yep, fat folks are the new "niggers" in modern society - but in these fruitcakes minds, it's "different", because "obesity" is controllable by willpower, and fat folks are just "lazy" and "weak".

<sarcasm>Yesa massa, I just be shuckin' and jivin' and I get mah food to go at the back door. I won't make yah loose yah license for feedin' fatties in public.</sarcasm>

Yes, all you people who cheered when they started making all kinds of laws against smoking in public and then private spaces, guess what? This is the logical extension - legislation of personal choice in the interests of the state keeping its "costs" down.

Where's my fucking chocolate. I swear, if I lived in this asshole's state I'd stage an "eat-in" at his office. Fucking health nazi.

I don't know. My analogy loop hit a fatal error when I suddenly pictured Hannibal Lecter in his special protective mask.

Honestly, I don't know if there's a good real-life comparison. Supposedly this one is just a publicity stunt, but even if so, the underlying message remains uniquely evil -- restrictive in a special and possibly incomparable way: what you ARE when you walk in the door is grounds for restriction. You don't have to light anything up, or start any gas-powered (or hybrid) engine. You just have to stand there and have a high BMI.

I will not make a Godwin's Law -- or Tubman's Law -- comparison, but it does restrict behavior based on a physical characteristic.
