Those greedy capitalists are at it again.

It's not like it costs $2 to make a shirt or pants a few inches longer.

It's not a just few inches 'longer'; you must consider the whole surface area. Yes, dinosaur-sized shirts do indeed use up quite a bit more fabric.

I shouldn't have to pay more for that because of the way my body is built.

What? No one has any duty to supply you with huge shirts. They cost more to produce, so you will pay more for it. If you don't like it, make your own shirts. And, uh, I have a very hard time believing that there are many people who 'naturally' have to wear XXL clothes. I am 6'2'' and weigh almost 200 pounds, but medium shirts fit me just fine.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's true, especially in the States, but you might want to wear slim-fit shirts instead, then. American Apparel, for example; their pricing is reasonable, and the shirts are also a bit longer than usual ones. If you just wear any XL, it may fit you in the shoulders, but it's probably too large otherwise.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

All I can say is that you need to lose weight and start wearing clothing that fits you properly, instead of wearing baggy clothes to hide your fat. Sorry, but that's how it is.

Actually, I haven't seen it in many real stores, but it's very often like that on the internet. Take the lovely flatfalls shirts, for instance.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The point is that stores have decided to profit off a segment of the population, and they're not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts (like say, a cigarette tax).

What would happen if Sears decided to charge non-English speaking customers $2 more for everything they buy?

Then... they would be accused of being xenophobic, and would lose business. I mean, wow, do you understand what you are saying? They are not charging you more because you're fat, they're charging more because it's a different product, in production of which more material is used. I don't even know, maybe you're really kidding. This ''businesses discriminate against me because 25% of my body is lard'' idea is ridiculous. Have you heard of supply and demand?

Where are all the other overweight members of GFF, anyway? It's not Tritoch and I are the only fat people here.

No, but maybe there aren't any more that think ''the man'' is out to get them for being fat.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
