Whilst the girls of Taiwan seem to be paranoid about their weight, the guys well, not so much. Like everybody else these fat guys still need to get around but unfortunately it seems some of them put more thought into their next meal then their mode of transport.

I was in Taipei the other week when I stumbled across this:

What you’re looking at there is a scooter that has been snapped in half. To be fair I’ve got no idea if it was a fat girl or fat guy riding it at the time but statistically it was probably a guy.

Seriously the girls here are so light I can benchpress five of them on my little finger whilst cycling up a hill.

I don’t know exactly what you’ve got to be doing on a scooter to literally snap it in half but I hope whoever did it at least went on a diet or something. The poor, poor scooter looks long abandoned for a Big Mac or whatever.

I wanted to go up and give it a hug to show somebody still cared but restraint got the better of me. I got enough stares just taking the photo itself!
