As if overweight people don’t already feel self-conscious enough about their size, now special fat seats have been installed for them on Brazilian subways.

Labeled “priority seating for obese people,” the vibrant blue seats are almost twice as wide as normal chairs and can support passengers weighing up to 550lbs.

It comes as no surprise that the seats are being ignored by obese passengers, with Metro bosses in Sao Paulo admitting that overweight people are probably too ashamed to use them.

Why in the world would they make them in a stand-out different colour? Ouch is right!

Bold stand out coloring... Ouch, indeed. Really. Why not put a sign that says, "Sit here, fatty." Maybe that will make it more appealing. But... if you are too big to fit in the regular seat... Oh, I don't know what to say. I don't want to be insulting, but if people are breaking the seats... I just don't know.
