The first came from author and journalist Sean Thomas Knox who Tweeted these messages out on Monday:

Wow, that is pretty fucking brutal and unnecessary. Turns out Overweight Haters Ltd isn’t actually a registered company (no surprise there), and doesn’t look like people will be backing their agenda anyway (not that they have one beyond being assholes).

Overweight Haters Ltd are clearly very limited people…

We are aware of the leaflets being distributed in London and urge anyone who has been handed one to call us on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016.

Some might argue that these wankers have a point, but at the end of the day this feels more like a random, unnecessary attack on fat people rather than a conscious effort to do something about the overweight / obesity problem. Would love to get a look at the twats handing out these cards – surely the only way this can end is with them being massively exposed and shamed online for the world to see?
Besides, haven’t they heard that fat people are 100% better at sex than skinny people? Here’s the proof.
