Maybe it is just Gogol fans.  I have been to the 930 plenty of times, and have not had to deal with this supposed epidemic. 

I have dealt plenty with the tall person issue.  But what can you do?   I always try to move over some and get around the issue. 

Also, if i was Orcha sized, I dont think i would be out at a show.  I would probably be sitting at home eating a pizza and playing World of Warcraft.

As for a fat tax, what about those of us who responsibly eat fast food etc?  I maybe eat a burger once a month, and i would hate to pay more because some government official thinks it is a good idea.  Why not tax health food then?  Thats the real issue right, money?

it's no wonder the pictures in magazines control our lives.

Taxing health food? That makes no sense. You tax the fast food, and that in turn can be used to pay for healthcare bills, and with healthier citizens, it costs the government less to take care of them.

There's a financial point in discouraging unhealthy behavior, there's not one in discouraging healthy behavior (unless you're corporate medicine).

I'm with you.  I have no problem with airlines charging for a second seat - why should I have someone else's fat rolls spill over into my seat?  I think they should do this at concert and sporting events as well.  I'm just uncertain how you can enforce this at a general admission venue.  If you've got a way, you've got my vote.

how about we just kill fat people?  or ugly next (so we won't have to look at them at shows)  save the ticket hike.

Well, your way would definitely help with any over-population problems our planet is facing.  It's slightly extreme though

somehow i knew one would take the bait.   

[dave24]

it was RIGHT there - what do you want from me?   
I just don't have THAT much self-restraint

i was trying to make a joke about the absurdity of a fat tax.  Of course health food shouldnt be taxed.  Neither should a lot of things, but the government does it anyway.

So basically we'll only have gay Hispanic middle-aged people left. Will Morrissey be named world ruler?

I was watching a past episode of "The Office". Silly Dwight, walked into a wedding reception, shocked by how crowded it was said "There's too many people on Earth. We need a new plague...."
Can't wait to steal this line, when appropriate.

And, you tall ones, geez, I'm glad we're friends. Otherwise, I understand some want to be close to the stage, but even in back, we ALL want to see.
