    When we first bought a Nintendo Wii, it started by asking our height and weight, and then assigned an avatar based on the data - my kids looked normal, but mine rather resembled the figure on the right.

    Assholes. And what a difference in culture...

    I was only joking

        Maybe it's just font design. "Normal" vs. "bold."

          Half-full today, eh @Axtremus ?

          Wait...is saying "full" fat-shaming?

            It's contradictory in that the metallic poll placed just in front of the entrance to the escape seems to prevent fat people from getting on to the escalator.

              1. Typeface. Not font.
              2. It's not a fucking typeface, either.

                    Actually I thought of using "typeface" instead of "font." But then Aqua may be the only one who understands it. So I went with "font." It's like Apple's "Think Different" campaign. Pretty sure lots of folks at Apple and the ad agency knew that "Think Differently" is the grammatical choice, yet deliberately chose differently because they figured it's more easily understood by the majority.

                      The grammatical deviation was part of the message itself, whereas you just don't know the difference.

                                  I think this is to prevent trolleys and carts, etc from using the escalators.

                                  One of my best friends in Taiwan, her nickname is "Little Piggy" because she was kind of chubby as a kid. LOL
