Aliens Will Eat the Fatties First

By , About.com Guide   January 25, 2010

Follow me on:

Gym Poster Here is something a little on the comical side, unless you are carrying around a few extra pounds. A gym in Great Britain is spurring on its overweight clients to shed some pounds with a poster that states: "When the Aliens Come, They will Eat the Fatties First."

Now, if you are like me, and have fought the battle of the bulge, this is not really funny at all. And, a lot of of the patrons seem to agree with me. This made some headlines in the UK, and is beginning to get some press here in the States.

Check out the article and a full size photo at Outrage over Alien Poster, and tell us what you think.

Interestingly, from the point of view of good diet, they’d be more likely to eat the thinner people first. There’s not much value in eating lots of fat.

Its only a silly ad giving us ‘food for thought’
I would not expect a senario like that from higher intelligencies, monsters yes but they belong in comics and films.

Whew! at least i’ll have time to hide while all the aliens are buisy with the fat ones, and the more that dissaper the more human food will be for me and the slim crowd.

Ahhh, don’t take it personal Billy! If you do, then that’s what the ad was designed to do, make people who think they’re overweight sign up for their gym so the gym can make money.

LOL… I have a few extra pounds and I think this add is hilarious. People are taking things way to personally now a days. And if they have a problem with the add maybe it’s because they have a problem with them selves. Stop your winning and let the rest of us have our jolly ol’ chuckels….ho!ho!ho!

Yes, I lost weight but still think people need to be kind.There are other ways to bring in overweight people than to scare some or make fun of over weight people.excuse me but to bad they’re not thinking of being nice in the right way or being helpful.I wouldn’t go to anyplace like that.I just don’t care for places or people that make fun of anyone skinny or heavy just not right.Is this not a tolerent world yet?????

50% of us Okies are fat, so they will eat well here. I may be the main course, but I come with lots of lead, copper and brass that they not find tasty at all.

I believe this idea was taken from the BBC TV show, “Dr Who” or maybe “Torchwood”.
