GOD, I spit everywhere when you said that!! :lol:

I hate to laugh at the guy but it gets to the point you have to say no to the extra cheese.

[Backlash]

I don't want to seem too insensitive, but he has 8 freaking doctors monitoring him! How much $$ is this guy costing everyone?

Once you get to like 4 or 5 hundred pounds (if not before) you ought to realize you have a problem and do something about it.

I wonder what made him decide to lose weight. Was it like "Oh my God! I can't reach my ass to wipe it anymore, time to lose some weight"

That's not insensitive. I bet insensitivty is what got him to that point. I bet no one wanted to hurt his feelings so they kept shoveling food in in face.

OMG no shit! :shock:

I don't think this guy ever realized he had a problem until he couldn't get his fat ass off the couch anymore. You think most people would realize they have an eating problem once they hit the 300 pound mark.

God help me, after reading that article, this is the first time I've ever looked at a fat person and thought they should pass a law mandating your food intake after you reach a certain weight. You get past a certain weight (like 600 pounds :shock: maybe), then someone has to step in and take your food away from you because you have no self control reguarding eating habits.

And if that makes me insensitive, so be it. But come on! 8 doctors to treat one man who is too dumb to stop shoveling food in his mouth?! That's 7 doctors too many for that guy. I'd hate to be the person going to the hospital emergency room that fat guy is staying in, because he is tying up 7 doctors who could be doing something else more important, like saving 7 other people's lives.

This still isnt as bad as that woman who had to be surgically removed from her sofa after she died.
