Page 13: Mount Eliza’s Peninsula Grammar School comes unstuck over fat-phobic bumper sticker

An offensive bumper sticker spotted at school pick-up has sent a private school into a tizz, with parents plotting a revenge stickerbomb attack on the culprit’s restaurant chain.

The posh Mount Eliza school community has been sent into a tizz over the bumper sticker.

An offensive bumper sticker has sent parents into a tizz down at Peninsula Grammar School with the family of a famous Melbourne hotel chain in the gun.

Tempers have flared in the afternoon pick-up over the sticker which says ‘Fat People Shit Me’ with parents confronting the school mother and driver of the BMW wagon on which it is adorned.

They have been at pains to point out that such a slogan being paraded in front of hundreds of kids every day isn’t appropriate. Their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

It has got to the point where a plan has been discussed for revenge stickers given the irony involved in how the family makes its money.

The offending bumper sticker.

“The irony is that she sells chips, steak and burgers to all of these “fat people that shit” at her hotels to make money from them,” one outraged parent told Page 13.

Stickers with the hotel chain’s name next to the words ‘Shit Me’ have been drawn up while a call to arms to boycott any of the company’s restaurants has been circulated among furious parents.
