Tell me where you live, and I tell you how fat you are


This from SBS News: TOO BIG FOR OUR LOOS

Australia’s standards association is worried that Australians are getting so fat that toilet seats may have to be made stronger to bear their weight.

Standards Australia is expected to recommend "an increase in the strength of toilet seats to accommodate the increasing size of humans".


So, while people in Australia are getting so fat that toilet seats might break under their weight, 300 Kms to the North, in East Timor, people are unwillingly slimming down, having hardly any reason to go to the toilet. It is a shame, it really is.

Australia is fast becoming a nation of gluttonous obese people with no desire to share their calories, chomp, chomp, chomp. At the same time, the Australian government is ripping the Timorese people off, stealing their natural gas reserves. But then again, considering the price of toilet paper these days, Australians need more income than the Timorese.
