Prison Break star Wentworth Miller found himself the butt of a new Internet meme on Monday, March 28 — and he took a little time out of his day to explain why fat-shaming just isn't cool. The meme showed a photograph of Miller looking buff and gorgeous, alongside another photograph, taken back in 2010, where he's dressed down in a red T-shirt and is carrying some extra weight.   Today I found myself the subject of an Internet meme. Not for the first time.

AS THE candidates in America’s presidential race pontificate on the growing divide between the haves and the have-nots, the country’s airlines are busy segmenting customers between the haves, the have-lesses, the have-somewhats, the have-nots and, now, the have-nothing-at-alls. Airlines have long seen profitability in investing heavily in first- and business-class while degrading the flying experience in coach to cut costs. But why stop there? Coach, they have discovered, can itself be subdivided, and then subdivided again. First there was the creation of premium economy, which charges passengers extra for what used to be a standard amount of legroom, and for the exit-row seats that were previously the dominion of in-the-know flyers. Now there is a new class, a cut below standard economy. Please welcome “basic economy”, known to some as “last class”.
