Would it be an understatement to say he needs to drop a few pounds?

Wonder if he has to pay for the crane rental.

I work in midtown NYC so I see a good deal of people with wheelchairs. It makes me sad to see that people have injuries that require the use of chairs. But yesterday coming home from work I saw a woman in a wheelchair who was unmistakably in one because she was too tremendously huge to move her enormous, bloated mountain of mass... and damn, that was just gross. It is nearly certain that I as a taxpayer am subsidizing that chair, and that's offensive.

I guess that CA lawyer is right....

In a related event, the man's lawyer filed a lawsuit with McDonald's.

What was he doing in Germany, researching a sequel to "Roger and Me" about VW?

I didn't know Michael Moore was in Germany.

Ever seen "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"? Kind of a strange movie, but in the end, his morbidly obese mother dies in an upstairs bedroom and after the sheriff and coroner leave, instead of letting his mother's death become a circus with cranes and such, he simply empties the house of all the furniture and burns it.

One of the few decent movies Johnny Depp made.

I always wonders who buys the food for these people. There was a case in NY (Walter Hudson? That guy that Dick whatisname, celebrity diet doc went there to cure?) where he was eating a whole chicken at a time for dinner, etc. yet couldn't get out of the house to do the shopping. His relatives were buying it and letting him eat it all.

If it were me feeding a relative of that size, I'd be portioning out that chicken a wing at a time.

The crane then lowered the container to the ground and the man was wheeled off it, jacked into an ambulance van and taken to hospital.

When they reached the hospital, they only had use of a smaller crane. The results were disastrous!

You took the words right oughtta my mouth.

We shouldn't be having fun at this man's expanse....I mean expense.
