In a world of fat acceptance and feral hamsters, it takes a special kind of hero to stand up to the avalanche of adipose and say: "you shall not pass!"

Today, we are gathered to honour some of these anonymous defenders of truth and beauty. Men who, when confronted by a fivehead and her coven of fugly friends, said "No! Not on my watch!".

These watchful protectors.

These dark knights.

These doormen.

Quote:Mother turned away from trendy nightclub after doormen told her she was 'too fat and ugly' to go in

A mother is demanding an apology from a trendy bar after claiming she and her friends were turned away for being 'too fat and ugly'.

Quote:Stacey Owen was enjoying a night out with her two friends when she says her group was barred from entering Neighbourhood bar, in Spinningfields, Manchester, because of their weight and looks.

The 33-year-old said the trio had arranged to meet a friend inside the bar but when they tried to walk in, they were held back by security staff who said it was too full.

'After a while a group of lads went in and the doormen said it was because there were too many women in and they try to balance the ratio so we thought "fine",' Stacey said.

Quote:However, the mother-of-one claims she and her friends became suspicious when they saw some other women walking straight into the bar.

'Then a group of women went in and we said "hang on what’s going on?" and he turned to us and said "look, you’re too big and ugly to come in, I suggest you try elsewhere".

'I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard and asked him if he could say it again to make sure - he repeated "you’re too fat, you’re not getting in".

'I know I’m not exactly a supermodel, but I’ve never known anything like it in terms of customer service,' she said.

'We were so shocked we didn’t know what to do. It was so uncalled for and I’ve never had anything so humiliating happen to me in my whole life.

'For us the night was completely ruined and we just went home.'

Quote:The travel rep, who lives in the Droylsden area of Manchester, said she and her friends were left feeling insulted and she said the least Neighbourhood bosses could do was to apologise.

'I’ve been in touch to report the incident since and ask for an apology but they don’t seem interested and I’ve had no response,' she said.

'I certainly won’t be going back and wanted to draw attention to it because I don’t think they should be allowed to speak to people like that.”

Quote:The alleged incident on Saturday comes just a week after a hen party said they were called "chav cheap trash" and "peasants" by staff at city centre restaurant 47 King Street West in Manchester after posting a negative review online.

In August last year, an eight-month pregnant woman was turned away from trendy Club Liv on Peter Street in the city for wearing flat shoes.

Neighbourhood, which describes itself on its website as a New York eatery and bar, has so far not responded to requests for a comment.

Not the hero Manchester deserves, but the hero Manchester NEEDS!

A friend of mine owns a high end nightclub and he openly states his door policy is:

"No poor people, no fatties and no darkies (really old fashioned expression for non-whites)".

It's not uncommon at all.

Steve's threads are better on Monday mornings. Kicks the week to a good start.

Alliterating appellations are amenable to article approval.

I'm sure they're devastated to hear that.

McMahon has been kicking ass lately on his thread titles. Alliterative, eye-catching, and inflammatory.

Just how we like 'em.

And the original posts are packed with relevant GIFs, memes, and photos.

Well done, Steven.

OP, you certainly have a flair for thread titles. Kudos. Are you a writer by trade?

As for the content of the post, I never understood why people opt to publicize their humiliation like that. Really highlights a supreme lack of awareness.

I imagine Steve as the headline writer for one of the London tabs.

Post: #16

While she certainly is hideous looking, she certainly isn't the fattest person I've seen try to get into a club.

Regardless, nice job OP!

I like how she mentions bouncers being customer service. They are not customer service, they are bouncers.

Bar man, waitress and promoter are customer service. The bouncer is there to tell people to fuck off and keep the peace. Nowhere in my experience of customer service did it include man-handling a patron and chucking them out of a building.

Hell in the decades gone by the bouncers took you out back and roughed you up or dropped you on your head. Thats exemplary customer service!

Thousands of men are denied entrance to nightclubs every night and thats not a social crisis requiring media attention.

Post: #19

The lack of a subsequent apology by the club in question is exemplary in this day and age.

It's fine to reject men entry on account of them being men, but it's not OK to reject women based on them being completely undesirable.

In the bushpig's defense, they did seem to be OK with being rejected based on gender.

In other news, Bitter Bushpig's forehead was offered a position with AMC theatres as an IMAX screen.

I kind of feel sorry for them.

I had an insane day at work.

This thread, from the title down to the final picture, made my day. Thank you SteveMcMahon

Well done, Steven.

Somewhere in his threads are hidden messages that mess with our subconscious. At some point he will activate something and then we will become Lindy West fans. I am on to you Steve.
