Mar 20 2009Bus Stop Shames You Into Joining The Gym

first

68 kg = 150 lbs

That's a pretty cool idea, though I'm sure it will break or at least require calibration very quickly. Kids jumping on it, multiple people sitting on the scale, etc.

Still, I think it's pretty clever.

TINA TURNER

Well the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
You dont think of them as human
You dont think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

Chorus
I'm YOUR PRIVATE DANCER
A DANCER FOR MONEY
ILL DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
I'm YOUR PRIVATE DANCER
A DANCER FOR MONEY
ANY OLD MUSIC WILL DO

I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
Repeat chorus twice

Deutschmarks or dollars
American express will nicely thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again
Repeat chorus

Talk about peer pressure!

She should take her bag off the seat. It looks to weigh as much as her.

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where one of Max's co-workers left his computer unlocked when he went out to lunch. Despite being too busy at work to even post his repetitive comments to his favorite website, he had the time to set the co-workers computer to play the star trek fight song

every time he clicked the mouse. Hilarity ensued in cubicle land that day I can tell you.

Wow... this is a good idea, mean, but good. If you don't want your weight on the screen you have to stand - which means you should just walk to wherever you're going anyways...

Memo to self:
Never sit on a bench again.

yay another thing related to fat people.

That's friggin awesome.
And if it's not real it should be. Good reality check.
Of course some of us would be too stupid to convert from kgs to lbs on the spot so we would rush home and google it to see just how fat our asses REALLY are.
Brilliant.

i like it... we need those in the us.. the embarrased people would be forced to stand thus giving them a little more exercise too

What an incredibly ignorant concept. All it will do is promote eating disorders. Not to mention, people like myself who take the bus out of choice for the environment should be made as comfortable as possible. We are not there to be nagged or taken advantage of by unscrupulous marketers. If this were in my city I would organize people to go to that gym pretending to be customers, then protest when they get there. Make them as uncomfortable as they make the poor bus riders. It must be a really crappy gym if they have to resort to this to get people to get there. Those who thought of this are very low caliber people who have no understanding of the human psyche. Those who would let themselves e manipulated by this kind of tactic are lower than your average sheeple!

p.s. The one bright spot to come out of this is that people might understand there is nothing wrong with being heavy. I would be glad to put my beautiful 230lb rear on it. I am almost 50 and look great for my age because fat keeps one youthful looking longer.

Bus Stops - Embarrassing fat people into buying cars and further polluting the planet, one pound at a time. Way to go FailGym, way to go.

Good excuse for obese people to sit down!

68 kilograms!? That's just one kilogram under her ideal weight!

maybe its a scale to see if you qualify for fatass benifits from the government. oh how progressive!!!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5004431/Family-who-are-too-fat-to-work-say-22000-worth-of-benefits-is-not-enough.html

oh is that kilograms or STONES (thick british accent on stones)

I wouldnt mind a kilogram scale, since I don't know the conversion and I'm used to using pounds.

I'd be like 85kg (or whatever, I did not look up actual number). Whoo hoo! That's alot lower than 250.

Smaller numbers are good.

first, all the itiots that post about having ot convert kg to lbs: they're in freaking Europe!!! They dont convert!!!!

and as for #13, you too are an idiot. If yoiu didnt care about being fat, then the scale wouldnt bother you - it could might as well state the outdoor temperature. So, if you're bothered by it, then you're also bothered by your weight.

take the pork chop out of your mouth and walk your freaking dog you disgusting fatcycle!!!

lol Americans are fat, that is why they are stupid.

No one is gonna rush out and buy a car over this to stop taking the bus, so that argument is complete nonsense. @13 230 lbs? Do you think if you sat on that bench that your secret will be revealed?? C'mon. "Wait... she's fat!?"

It's just a clever marketing idea that will be at a few bus stops at most, if not just 1. And aside from a little embarassment to a few people, it will mostly just annoy some overweight girls on the internet, like the new influx of giant girls to the Geekologie site. It's not gonna cause anyone any eating disorders. We have magazines and movies for that.

The weirdest benches ever invented are benches that heat up when someone sits on them, so as to make their asses sweat, who would wana get soaked by ass sweat when waiting for the bus?

21- It was a joke you jackass.

OO thats harsh...but gamer girl could do with one of these to help her on her diet!!!

the bus stop drug deal

To all the people who claim this is "bad for the environment because fat people will stop taking the bus"... here's a clue... FAT PEOPLE ARE BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. You eat more, crap more, bitch more on the internet about the unfairness of the world to your FAT ASS, and it takes MORE FUEL to haul your massive cottage-cheese-filled buttcheeks around. SAVE THE WHALES BY NOT BEING ONE!

I strongly suggest you find more on hot hook-up club http://www.richpassion.com/, where the successful and affluent singles and hot girls and models, who also like sports, to hook up for Love, Romance, Flirt and Sexy Dating!

@26

Save your breath and get on my dinner plate!

i did not (ok maybe i did...once or twice)

The greatness of the US in spite of your dogged insistence on using Imperial weights and measures is a testament to your greatness. In the words of Oprah (whose angel-ass would probably be too embarrassed to sit on this): get with the program.

@17: the plural of stone (in weight) is stone, you monkey. If I put my stones on that scale, I'd get arrested.

I would have to visit this bus stop every morning, early in the morning, naked, because thats how I way myself. Morning naked weight is much more forgiving. haha.

115 lbs = 52.163123 Kg = 1,840 Hostess Ho Ho's

way = weigh
der

23 - Oh.

This device will make fat people poorer and cab drivers richer.

Dear Geekologie guy,
Do you take all of your posts from WTF_inc (community from live journal). 'Cause this shit was posted there several days ago.

You need to find a newer source. This shit is OLD.
No love,
Miaou

How completely rude. And discriminatory. If it was a measure of the blackness of someone's skin, there would be an outcry, but apparently it's ok to discriminate against plus-sized people?
