'''Coats Land''' is a region in Europe that is very enjoyable for small, fat children. Their bouncy spring platforms and free ice cream gives it its worldwide title for the "Most Fun Children's Play Land in the World". Its name was given in 1969 when it was the biggest shop for fancy coats around, and the name stuck. Squirrels often visit to bite the fat children, so they are required to wear masks and Spiderman life jackets. The Coats Landians wish to see you and your obese children soon for a day filled with fun! |
