Fat girls banned from club for being... you guessed it... fat girls

I don't know how I missed this, but apparently a nightclub in England started banning fat women at the door, while allowing fat guys entry. Discriminated patrons were turned away by bouncers, stating that they were "too big" and the manager confirmed, stating that fat people are bad for business.

Mr Sayers, who has admitted he too is overweight and on a diet, at first defended his actions. "We got a lot of people that I'd classify as morbidly obese and we were getting complaints. I am deeply apologetic but business is not good at the minute and I was trying to protect my business," he said. But he has since backed down and admitted the ban was "an error of judgment". "I would like to apologise whole-heartedly to these people and say they are welcome back to the club," he added.

Wow, really? You think that maybe banning people on the nature of their size just might be a bad idea? Go figure! Who were the complaints from? One guy who is complaining that there weren't enough hotties at the club? Are fat girls actually repelling the hot girls? Maybe they could let the fat girls come in through separate doors, maybe in the back of the club, and then ask them to stay back, in the dark areas where they won't bother anyone. Perhaps they'll just hang out there, docile as cows, waiting for the magical beer goggle moment, which is the only time anyone would ever want to have sex with a fattie, naturally. Huh. I'm shocked that this wasn't a valid business plan. SHOCKED. And I'm sure now that he's apologized "whole-heartedly," all the fat girls are going to come to Havana in droves, their chubby fists clutching sweaty twenties, ready to spend! Spend! Spend!

Phew. Sorry, that was sarcasm overload but really, I couldn't contain it any longer. Wow, you know what's bad for business? Being an ----- . There. I said it. Feel free to skewer this guy in the comments. You know you want to.

    WHAT A b------ !!! A SEXIST b------ AT THAT!!! I will never understand the double-standards women face. Like, it was okay for the fat MEN to get into the club, but heaven forbid a woman is not a perfect size 2, she can't get in. And his "apology"? HA!!! What a huge steaming pile of BS. I think all women should boycott that jerk's club, and see how he likes it when his club gets a reputation as men-only or a gay club. People like that make me sick. And I like your sarcastic comments :)

    This has been going on for a long time, it's just now we are finally hearing something about it. Fat women have always experienced discrimination, because it's acceptable if a man is overweight. See, women aren't allowed to have flaws. If men have them, we are supposed to just accept them. There are many clubs that disciminate based on income, looks, weight, you name it if you aren't "it" you aren't allowed in. I think most fat women are smart enough to question whether it's worth wanting to get in if the average crowd is a bunch of shallow, boring conformists anyway.

After 4 years being at home not going to bars or nothing , I decided to invite a friend and we went to one, well I was looking for those hot guys , in a way , man there was not a single one, so I was complaining to my friend where are those hot guys that you see on TV ?? she answered they are still living in Sesame Street.

    the think WAKE UP people are not perfect , we all have flaws.

    I wish we could get this started in the states. Fat chicks should be at home doing sit-ups or at the gym on a treadmill; not Swallowing drinks that is only going to add to the problem. I live in LA and there are more fat chicks each time I go out; please stop them!!!

    I understand both sides. a man has spend his life savings into a business, a night club. he gets paid if people come into his club. if women get into his club free how does he make the money? beer and men who have to pay. who do guys go into clubs. to mingle and pick up girls. attractive girls. some men dont find big women attractive. ( its true) but is he right? HELL THE F$%K NO! some men domt find black women attractive or blonds, some dont like redheads or brunettes etc and some just dont like vaginas at all. so why let anyone into the club?? I cant dance and you cant dance, no one can dance. its wrong to discriminate based on size or based on personal liking. i like guys that look like they play for the NBA so should i ban short dudes from coming to my club? if i had one?
