Yeah, such brilliant use of sarcasm, wasn't it, and because "it's just neatorama", which made about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine. LOL, just a guy.

He/She was 'unpleasently not suprised' by the characters in his/her own invention. That's quite interesting! (and no packpedaling with claims of 'joking' or 'sarcasm', just to save face.)

For people struggling with their weight, whether it be trying to lose weight or trying to recover from an eating disorder, this would be incredibly humiliating. I had anorexia several years ago and although i am comfortable with my body now, showing my weight to everyone around me would definitely bring back the feelings of shame and self-loathing that i felt for so long back then.

I'm not fat, I know the metric system, and I am American. thisisit, you do realize that the stupid/fat American jokes are really old and beyond ignorant, right? Why don't you find a more creative way to express your hatred, or are you just too stupid? Moving swiftly on, I think that this is horrible. A person's weight is their own business and there is no reason to announce it to a bunch of people you are about to get onto a bus with. It's just another way to pick on fat people. Fat people get bullied enough. Wow. I’m not fat, I know the metric system, and I am American. thisisit, you do realize that the stupid/fat American jokes are really old and beyond ignorant, right?

I'm sure we've all see the galleries of crazy bus graphics, like the doors that look like shark teeth and things like that. And there's plenty of really interesting bus stop ads like this one. Weird.
