Ramos said she's not taking legal action, as some stories have implied, but she would like to start a conversation about issues surrounding size discrimination.


It might be tricky to start a conversation about anything before you've learned how to last 5 minutes without shoving a pie in your face.

Want to dance on the bar? Lose some weight. I don't see how this is difficult. Men like shinny and pretty.

Fall also said employees were encouraged to watch black patrons more closely, and that men were not allowed to dance on the platform.

But it is the sensitive fatties who are the real victims here. If I lived in Iowa City, I would be parking a hot-dog cart in front of this bar to make a killing support the protest.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA size discrimination...... the hilarity of that is colossal.


What's next bad breath discrimination?
Excessive body odor discrimination?
Yellow teeth discrimination?

If you don't like people making fun of you because you're fat toots, LOSE SOME farkING WEIGHT.

Not acceptance. Tolerance. I put up with those heffers obscuring my view of the good looking girls, but I do not accept them.

Moral of the story:

Shinny = good
Sharp knees = bad

More the lawyer fees than any real fear of a lawsuit, I would think.

Fark the Union. Are they still selling 21 pitchers for 21 bucks on your 21st birthday? If the fat chick doesn't kill someone, the binge drinking will pick up the slack.

If you are overweight your doctor will tell you so, don't get pissed if people on the street in the everyday world are less tactful.

Submitter's poor grammar notwithstanding, I'm not sure why there is a need to apologize. No laws were violated, and the bar has a right to refuse services to clientele. What if this girl applied to work at Hooter's and (predictably) was turned down?

There is an actual movement called that. Some colleges even have departments that spend their time denying that being fat has health consequences, etc.

How about the bar institute a chubby ladies night. Fat chicks drink half off. Then you've got a bunch of drunk chicks with low self esteem. Everybody wins.

Now, when one of their fat asses falls off the farking bar while "dancing", they'll sue the bar for letting them get their fat, drunken asses up there.

This world deserves to burn.

F*cking fat slobs. Nobody wants to see a 200+ pound whale dancing on stage. Fat people arent sexy and never will be sexy. Stop trying to be normal. When you display normal tendencies like portion control and ability to exercise, then you can try to fit in with the sexy people on stage. Until then, you can sit back with the rest of the degenerates until the light bulb comes on in your head.

/Fat women will never be attractive, ever, no matter what the BBW fans say

Yea, and I'm sure all the guys that walk in there are real winners.

The bar is pushing the pretty girls up front so it can milk more cash from its real customers. They were just too cheap to hire strippers.

The bar just needs to be more creative with the policy and less dickish about the whole thing. Just institute a policy discriminating against Iowans, but not out-of-staters. Everyone knows most of the hot girls at Iowa aren't actually from Iowa.

At football games at Michigan, occasionally girls would be picked up and passed overhead up several rows (or more).

One young lady I saw picked up was...larger. Not as big as this lady, but not svelte.

The crowd above began to stir. "Put her down---put her down---heifer---heifer...."

I don't know whether the offenders were sent to sensitivity re-education camp or not.

What I expect will happen - the bar will now allow fatties but will have a policy that won't allow ANYONE to dance on the bar.

Thanks a lot, fattie.

I would say the better solution is to open a competing, more-inclusive club for people who aren't so shallow, crass and slightly despicable.
But if the town was large enough to sustain one, they'd likely already have a gay bar and the big girl wouldn't have been in the crude club in the first place.

If I can't smoke in a bar because it may hurt someone else, this whale can't dance on a platform drunk where she may fall and crush a much more desirable member of society.

/would spend way more money at a bar that banned fat people.

//go dance at "the muffin top," fatty mcfatterson, I heard they have free milkshakes on tuesdays.

/// or stay home and drown in ben and jerrys ice cream and sob because no one likes you.

ftfa "It is just about awareness and advocating to be treated the same way as everybody else," she said. "There's a deeper message that discrimination is still here. I think we should be getting people to talk about size discrimination and working toward acceptance."

Unless you are getting discriminated in housing or employment this is all nonsense. To overstate the obvious, people are often shallow, superficial and mean spiritied when it comes to appearance. Life's more unfair if you aren't born a "10". Probably far worse for a girl. You will never be treated the same as a hawt girl. Guys are simply hardwired that way.

Deal with it.
