Vietnam is considering a ban on small-chested people riding motorbikes:
The ministry of health recently recommended that people whose chests measure less than 28 inches (72cm) would be prohibited, as would those who are too short or too thin.
The proposal is part of an exhaustive list of new criteria the ministry has come up with to ensure that Vietnam’s drivers are in good health.
Apparently if you’re waifish, you’re not healthy enough to be riding a motorbike. According to the Vietnamese government anyway.
Motorbikes account for more than 90% of the vehicles on Vietnam’s roads, and many workers in the nation of 85 million need them to do their jobs.
This is somehow both hilarious and infuriating.
