    Weight loss advert win. It’s just so true.

    Don’t really see this as Engrish. Unless i misunderstood something.

  2. blueJade says:

    Are they referring to those who have been squished into blobs… there is a cross on the side.

  3. compy says:

    Were they trying to play Connect 4 with ambulances?

  4. PoodleGroomer says:

    A neighbor was a paramedic. One call was a morbidly obese person in an upstairs bedroom. He ruined his back trying to transport the patient down a set of narrow stairs. They now send a fire crew to help carry patients for most transport calls.
    There is a specially equipped ambulance for the region for people over 400 lb (180 kg). All of the towns within a 2 hour driving radius have heard of it and it is booked so often they have justified buying a second one.

      That’s very sad :( My mom’s a nurse and she used to do home care, and had to take care of a fellow so obese that he literally could do nothing for himself – not even make it to the toilet. My mom did what she could for him but eventually he needed to be hospitalised, and what happened? They had to take the side wall off his house to get the dude out, because they couldn’t get him through the door. Shame.

      • JohnB says:

        Believe me, I am aware of this problem. We had a client at a residential facility I worked at who topped 400 lbs. But surely that has nothing to do with this shirt…

        • laconejita says:

          You are right the shirt seems to be a medium size.

        • PoodleGroomer says:

          I could see someone calling an ambulance for the morbidly obese a blob wagon.

          • JohnB says:

            At least among themselves. I know ER docs often tell each other an undesirable patient is a “GOMER,” meaning “Get Out of My ER.” In talking about severely demented people, I’ve been known to say, “LONH,” which people I’ve worked with know means “Lights On, Nobody Home.” Jargon can be dehumanizing, but in the interests of rapid and graphic communication (and in any health care field, you often need to do that), it works.

            • dr handle says:

              Don’t forget FLK – Funny Looking Kid, and LOL – Little Old Lady (usually just after some attention, complaining of “itchy bones and fingernails”).

              • PoodleGroomer says:

                FLK is used by maternity nurses when they notice anomalies that suggest genetic mutations and a need for diagnostic testing and is not just used as a comment on an odd looking kid. FLP (parents) was a chart notation that the kid got his genetics directly.

            • paws4thot says:

              I’d be careful about that, because Gomer could well be interpreted as an insulting term for someone of Asian extraction.

              • JohnB says:

                I’ve never heard that one, and I grew up in a suburb of NYC where most of us learned multiple ethnic slurs for anyone of almost any conceivable origin. Is that new or perhaps regional? (And I’ve done many consults in the ER but never had occasion to use that term myself.)

      • Rockingfreakapotamus says:

        ah ha ha ha ha ha hh ah ah ah ah ah ha h a ha

        AAAAAAAh H h H h H H Hhahh ah ah ah ah ahah

        That is so funny!

  5. Janet24 says:

    I’m loving the title! It’s so gross :)

  6. Queen o' sarcasm says:

    this shirt is funny but obesity isn’t as the guy said its like connect the dots
    with ambulances !!!!!!!!1

  7. Steve says:

    Steve McQueen’s last ride?

  8. dr handle says:

    Maybe this is the non-urgent job veehickle that’s sent to scrape up the blob after a particularly nasty road crash, fall from great height, or steamroller accident.

  9. disque dur says:

    Hi Ginger Kimbark..
    The advertising of all the things are very necessary so you also have to do and you do here a very nice advertising for Blob Wagon..
