The floor of a weight watchers clinic in Sweden collapsed beneath a group of people taking part in a weight loss programme.

According to a report in Swedish English-language newspaper, The Local, the dieters were queueing up to see how many pounds they had lost in the past week.

One person reportedly told another newspaper that "there was a huge thud, before the floor collapsed along the walls in one corner of the room."

A Weight Watchers consultant told The Smalandsposten newspaper: "We're going to have to find replacement premises."

The cause of the collapse is still being investigated by local authorities, and none of the people involved were injured.

Christ. If you are so fat that you need to pay attention to which kinds of buildings you use it's time to put that fork down.

Yes, it seems the "Operation transformation" filming was going well until Gerry Ryan walked in.
The poor floor just couldn't take any more.

How many points for that

Wonder why Little Briton never came up with such a script like that........

That story is just oozing with irony... like a slab of bacon in a George Foreman.

Well if there eating forks it's no wonder they're so heavy.

Irony is great because it makes people look like fools. Pighead's mother once called him a son of a bitch for not putting out the bin bags. True story.

Back on topic, he he he, fat Swedes..

I bet they lost a lot of weight when it happened, but none of it in body-fat.

They must have weighted too long...

In fairness it was probably nothin to do with their weight, just a structural defect in the building. Still f**king hilarious though!

It was the soft landing that save them.

It's a good theing they were only waiting for a weighin and not doing the exercises now that would really have brought the house down!

If a platoon of soldiers were marching down a street and came to a bridge that the sergeant deemed unsafe, he would give the order to "break step" in other words walk across without stepping in sequence thus redusing the risk of the bridge collapsing from the forse of stomping feet. If he was really worried, he'd make 'em swim accross! :pac:

Cripes - most of these people have trouble breaking sweat, never mind breaking step.

A scale of this enormity must be weighing heavily on Weight Watchers.

Thats the problem, they've been watching the weight and not doing anything about it!

There is a slim chance they will cop on now, surely?
