How sad is that. Not only are we drowning in a sea of lard asses that were apparently born without the "shame" gene, (unless of course it comes to someone else shaming THEM) but now we have a slew of industry changes being forced upon us simply because someone decided to overeat? And these changes will be far felt because now you have people joining the fire dept with good and altruistic reasons but shortly a lot of these jobs will be focused on "OBESE SUPPORT SERVICES". How can they not with the ever increasing rise in obesity statistics? Fire and rescue need to be the best of the best. Young, strong, FIT men and women. Why would they want that job when they know that on any given day, instead of fighting a fire or rescuing someone from a car wreck, they may have to "rescue" some 700 lb butter ball and blow out a disk and ruin their back for life? Obviously fire and rescue comes with its own set of inherent risks, however, OTHER PEOPLE'S obesity related risks was never one of them. Fucking selfish fat bastards don't even have the good sense to feel bad about it!
