The Colbert Report "being weighed for airplane tickets"

[philosopherqueen]

I was wondering if anyone saw the episode on$ The Colbert Report on the airlines weighing people for tickets. I was just wondering if this had any truth to it.

No idea.

But the simple fact that the story was plausible enough to merit investigation says a lot about the airlines - and about the talent of Colbert's writing staff.

I have heard of people saying that they want it, but I haven't seen it in anything official. I can see alot of people trying to lose weight to cut costs, unfortunately some of them would end up with eating disorders.
