Fat ladies are good at falling humorously

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

Regardless of what you feel about obesity in this country, make no mistake that overweight Americans have an important place in our society. Most notably in their comedic ability when confronted with gravity and/or inertia. For further evidence, see this phenomenal video of a woman of larger carriage going flying during a bus accident.

I bet she was totally fine in spite of that fairly violent fall. The reason is that fat people have extra cushioning on their bodies that, while a hindrance in athletic conquests, makes them completely safe in high-impact collisions. But in spite of that fact and clear empirical evidence to back it up, if you suggest to a fat person that they serve as a crashpad for just ONE person leaping off of a building, they never let you live it down. Embrace the gifts God gave you, I say. Not everyone has blood made of Jello.

What'd you think of this?
