In this episode of The Bald Brad Show, some people are outraged at the new Mario Kart theme park ride at Universal Studios in Hollywood, California, over a restriction on waist sizes.

The ride is a part of the highly anticipated Super Nintendo World part of the theme park. Riders are thrilled with augmented reality and animatronics — unless their waistlines are too large.

The rides can only accommodate people with waistlines less than 40 inches, which is slightly less than the average waistline for American males.

Critics complained about the ride's bigotry and discrimination on social media.

"Still mad about that 40-inch waistline requirement for the Mario Kart ride. It's just blatantly fatphobic, there's nothing about it that can't accommodate a bigger human. Let alone an average-sized one, as 40 inches is hardly monumental. I'm a few pounds from there myself!" said one user.

"Mario Kart is the latest ride they’ve introduced where the restraint makes absolutely no sense for the type of ride it is. I honestly cannot see any motive for insisting on these restraints other than to fat-shame," said another critic.
