Security Tightened Around Obese Tourists

Featured Replies

BANGKOK – Police have upgraded their security around fat foreigners following the killing of wanted terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden in by US Special Forces in Pakistan.

Although there is no specific evidence of a threat against Thailand, the government has urged heightened vigilance for possible revenge attacks on US-based targets such as the American Embassy and really fat white people.

“Embassies and their staff already have high security, so we think terrorists may just go for the nearest fat farang, since he or she is likely to be a US citizen,” said Metropolitan Police Bureau Division 5 commander Somchai Patcharainto.

“It’s the ultimate soft target,” he added.

Somchai has urged exceptionally fat persons of Caucasian ethnicity to avoid public places for a few weeks, or to mark themselves clearly with German or Canadian flags to discourage possible targeting by persons with ill intent.

Additionally, Bourbon Street restaurant in Washington Square has suspended its Tuesday Mexican Buffet until further notice, citing security concerns and the “unacceptable risk” of gathering 30-40 obese white people in such a confined space.

The heightened security has not been extended to Pattaya, however, where police are confident that sufficient numbers of obese Russians should provide camouflage for American expatriates residing there.

LoL The bad guys must feel like kids in a candy store here !

Not very likely in Thailand, hardly any Americans here, much more likely to be European. Brits are the 3rd fattest nation on Earth and there are a heck of a lot more of them around.

Not as good as their usual work

Whew...now I feel safe again!

Serves 'em right! I'd get more luggage allowance on my flights if it was'nt for all the fatties on board....

I'm safe...I'm skinny!

Mark myself clearly with a German or Canadian flag?

I`d rather be shot.

Everyone knows that Brits and Yanks make the best targets. That`s because our alter egos are larger.
