"Imagine after a long day on your feet, that you decide to grab a seat on a bench when you discover that your perch is actually a scale that announces your weight in bright neon red numbers for the world to see. There is no warning that you are sitting on a scale just the obvious public pronouncement of your weight.

Located in the Netherlands, Fitness First took it upon themselves to use a different approach to marketing their clubs - public shaming. When someone sits on a bench to rest while waiting for the bus, the ad literally shows the person's weight in red numbers for the world to see."

in this country there's enough shame just for being at the bus stop, this would just be excessive

Fat people already know they are fat, what extra shame will they get from a mere number? the simple fact that they are grotesque and blubbery is enough

It'd be better if it yelled "EAT A SAMMICH" at anyone under 50kg.

fat people just won't sit there. many of them already have scooters anyway.

they should install a bike right next to it so you can try to burn a few calories while you're waiting.

The entertainment value would a lot better if the bench would just give way if the scale exceeded a certain amount.

this guy on the light rail in Phoenix was really fat and in a wheelchair, he had like a mexican brother and mother with him

when the train stopped, his mother had walked to the door and gotten on the exterior platform to help him off the train...well they were too slow and the train door closed and the old lady was left at the stop and the fat guy in the wheelchair and his brother just kinda stood there facing the door as we rode off

i imagine they eventually got off and found their way back, but the mother didn't look like the type to know how to use a cell phone, or have one

I dunno, a 1kg dump is quite a hefty dump indeed

My old roommate and I always wanted to make a toilet that would measure water displacement. The only problem is that you would have to pee before pooping in order to maintain the integrity of your results.

I would say this hits the people on their way to being fat. People who don't realize that they've gained 10 to 20 pounds, or more. Really fat people would probably write their number on the bench and sign it, and probably go for a high score.

like id trust some scale that sat out all day, probably wont be well maintained or even tared at any point throughout a given day?

leave people alone

and maybe really dumb people can sit out there and count on their fingers and toes the number that comes up each time the fat people sit down
