Brazil WIll Have Seats For the Obese at the World Cup

Ending weight discrimination one seat at a time.

Fun fact: Not all people in Brazil look like they were sculpted by gods. A lot of Brazilians are a bit husky, and there will be a lot of large-sized visitors when the World Cup comes around in 2014. Brazil will be ready though. The country introduced obese seats (peep it in the thumbnails), which are extra wide seats that will be placed in Fortaleza’s Castelao Stadium. The seats help the stadium comply with the Brazilian law that states all stadiums must have 1 percent of its seating accessible for the disabled and obese. It seems fair enough, until you see the fact that attendees who are double the size have to pay double the price of a regular ticket. Can't have it all right?
