Dec 4 2009Tell Me He's Not Straddling The Armrest

FAT

How did they wheel the snack/drink cart around?

He is creating a Fire Hazard. How the fuck are the poor people supposed to get passed him. Worse yet, the fuckin drink cart won't get to the people in the back.

@2 I don't think there will be anything left on the snack cart once, it gets to him.... just sayin

I thought the Airplanes had a weight limit! HIYO!!!! ahaha I kill my self....*drinks gasoline

Charging for 2 seats is one thing. I wonder how much a whole f*cking aisle runs you these days.

But in all seriousness, that picture is of me.

FailBlog LOLOL, Dot ORG :D

Good thing he didn't get the middle seat.

I would have fucking shot myself in the face if I had to sit next to him while he poured over my armrest.

look at the poor dude next to him just looking at him... i think he's about to cry

@ #7...you made me spit soda all over my monitor.

I blame the fast food, instant satisfaction, gotta get it done culture we have for many of our nations health issues.

People coming in to work sick, people not taking time to diet and exercise properly, people losing sleep and becoming slaves to jobs...

Course I just blame this guy for being a lazy fatass. Where the hell was his friends and family to tell him he's bigger than the hindenberg?

Many fat people are defensive about their weight but you know what, you should be. It's unhealthy.

Before anyone cries I'm a fat basher, I USED TO BE A FATTY. Except unlike most others I didn't wallow in sorrow and excuses about media images for myself. I made some life changes and ended up losing a ton of weight.

Have some respect for yourself and take care of yourself.

this is disgusting. what a fat fat man. the way to this man's heart is through his neck because they'd have to cut through too much fat any other way.

@14 well that may be so but i think a little chubbyness in a guy is cute like this sexy beast...just sayin

@15 Thank you, now I have to eat breakfast again.

Ha ha fat people

@16 I'm only here to please ;)

@16: Ditto.

That's a biiig bitch!

Fuck these fats people, theyre are a complete drain on our society. All fatties should be sterilzed so they can breed other fat-f*cks that will drain all our resources....jesus christ its called a f*cking treadmill, look into it....

@ 15 That guy had a show on Discovery health. It was totally heart breaking. He's dead. Way to go, you proud of yourself?

You know this dude had it coming and now he's mortified that his picture is everywhere.

Well, if you see a plane flying banking slightly to one side, you know why.

LISTEN TO THE MILKMAN AKA #13

AND COME ON NAAS! it's "THAT'S A HUUUUGE BITCH!"

GW even quoted in a few posts back! i'm still cleaning the shit off my wall from laughing so hard.

Wow. Thats awful. *shiver

hehehehe

My friend is as fat as him ...
and they always gives him 1st class seat even if he reserved in eco- class
because law is simple ....
the seat supposed to fit the person , not vice verse

@22 actually yes i am proud of myself because I'm not being ignorant, your ignorant your just being ignorant...so ignorant.

This has to be a joke haha oohhh man.

@22 c'mon.... like his death was a surprise to anyone who saw the guy. People weren't in an uproar when pizza-the-hut ate himself to death in 'spaceballs' .....lighten up a little

That fat fucker should have to buy a whole row. Can you imagine being the dude sitting next to that guy. Greasy fat spilling over the armrest on you while flying across the country. Imagine if you paid $500 a ticket and half your seat is covered with amorphous fat. FUCK THAT.

Ship that flabby tub of dogshit in a box car.

fat ass

Moo

I had a seat next to a fat bastard once on a long flight. It wasn't very comfortable. For both of us. The fucking check in clerk should have been considerate and gave him 2 chairs...

Disgusting.

dad is that you ... oh wait hi gw

"pizza-the-hut"

Well played. Well played.

One sharp turn and the guy in the seat next to him would be crushed.

@22....doesn't someone that dies from their own fatness do it to themselves? Doesn't a smoker who kills themselves from lung cancer deserve it? Why should large people matter? Is one more spoon of icrecream gonna kill me?

@#22, he's NOT dead. his name is Manuel Uribe... very much alive...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Uribe

@21

You're retarded.

@22

He's not dead. Check your sources before you post.

@28

Your grammar is revealing your ignorance.

ashley come on its the internetsnobody really cares about grammer...just sayin

This is where the airline should draw the line on fat. This guy could easily fill 2 seats and probably spill into a third. Either he buys a row or roll him down the plane like the fat kid in Hook!

Just because you are cowering behind the safety of anonymity, doesn't mean that the people who are reading the comments with the hopes of being humored feel like reading grammar that belongs on a vagabond's cardboard sign.

I took the liberty of correcting your sentence.

Ashley, come on. It's the internet. Nobody really cares about grammar. Just sayin...

this isnt legal.

he would not be able to safely ride in an aircraft.

1. he would not be able to buckle for takeoff and landing.

2. he is not providing adequate room in the isles

3. the armrest is a signifigant risk to his tailbone

if he wanted to he could easily sue the airline for allowing him to travel in such a hazerdous maner

and the airline passengers could also sue for an airline to be negligant of their fire safety precautions. if the plane went down this could have prevented many for a safe exit.

the only way this could be made legal is if he took up 2 seats, using an extension in the seatbelt and had the armrest removed in the center.

hey AsHley I tooks the libertty of correcting yours as well too....Just because you are cowering behind the safety of anonamisness dont mean that the people who are reading the comments with the wishiz of being humored feel like reading grammar that belongs on a HOBO's cardboard sign...just sayinz

I bet the flight attendant had to do some serious number crunching when determining seating for weight and balance.

Look closely at the picture.

Two empty seats behind him and it looks like he's kneeling. Right before the floor, you can see his leg is clearly bent in a kneeling position.

Looks to me like he was just chatting with the guy pre-flight. It makes a lot more sense then he willingly just straddled an arm rest for the duration of his flight.

So yeah...those two empty seats behind him are definitely his and he's not actually sitting like that. You have all failed.

You're so cute. Talking to you is just like holding a conversation with those lawl cats that all of the obese cosplay girls love. Were you ever able to finally has a cheezburger?

Ashely and I-Kill-Bambi need to get a room.

Hello, aaron.

I was able to has that cheezburger and it was OH so yummy then i got worms and died and became the great cat in the sky that look down upon her victims with anger only surpassed by the grue godz

Why are all the fatty articles so popular and getting all the responses...

anyone remember the Gamergirl fatty thread? Nearly 200 replies

@48 idiot

At that serious fatness, he HAD to have a big reason to even get off a couch. He probably had a death in the family. Awww, poor guy.

he's not straddling the armrest...the armrest is up his butt...

Ashley your holier than thou stance isn't going to win anyone over. That guy is fat, a drain on our society, and should be sterilized. Maybe you're a chubby chaser who sympathizes with this disgusting mess. He is not a human, he is a pig. Fat people are the worst kind of people in our society. Is my grammar good enough for you?

@57 THANK YOU!!!

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/takeonestep/fat/index.html

Ah making fun of fat people! The last safe haven of bigotry and discrimination!

Regardless of where the fault of this problem lies, the issue is complex and does need attention. These people's lives are at risk, and fat kids grow up hated and ridiculed to the point of severe depression. That's not going to help these people get healthy. This is a disease. Anorexia is a disease. Drug abuse is a disease and most people need help getting sober and healthy again.

Wow beast man! Your ideas are so forward thinking,

Hitler.

I have loved the humor and reading this site for a long time, but this is the first time I am truly disappointed in the author. Shame.

@53 I remember gamegirl.... There was a lot of comments from that post because she posted links to pictures of her ginormous naked self. Ollie Williams calls out for that anytime something fat happens and it finally had

You're the one that's less than an animal, it takes determined thought to be so cruel and idiotic. He's made of the same stuff as you. You can exterminate as much of the gene pool that you like, and try to eliminate all that you hate; color, body shape, and orientation- it's there for a reason- variety, and it'll rise again, or the whole gene pool will die. I'm sure you don't believe in karma, or you wouldn't be so evil. Sure, he may be unhealthy, but your attitude is far more unhealthy; lazy thoughtless cruelty. My solution for the idiots who chime in sterilize or kill; you first!

#61 A lot of fat people read this website. Do not be offended because of this. ASHLEY stop being such a g'damm bitch.

@ 57

Yes, you're right. My grammar police ways are offensive and rude and will never win anyone over. You, however, have won me (and, I'm sure, everyone else) over with your enlightened, anti-metabolic-challenged-people tirade. I say that we hunt them all down like wild boar and offer them up as sacrifices to our fearless and noble leader. -Or- Maybe if we just rid the world of the narrow minded and destructive social rejects like yourself and Glenn Beck...

Anyway, good job on your properly formed sentenced, ree ree.

@ 58

You actually managed to have your fingers mutter out a grammatically correct sentence. Good job, kitty.

the medical costs of obesity in the U.S. were about $147 billion in 2008 -- up from approximately $78.5 billion in 1998. This is a statistical fact. Our hard earned tax dollars at work.

*sentence

Hey Ashley, its hilarious that you bash on grammar. Learn the difference between past tense and present tense.

I suggest you watch Food Inc about food in the US. Yes obesity is a problem we need to address. That is not a topic that is being debated here. It's your horrific words against the people that are actually suffering from this disease. We need real solutions to fix this problem, not your hate speech that only makes the problem worse.

Do you think hating fat people so much is going to help them feel comfortable going to the gym?

Watch these two and educate yourself:

@ 64. Oh right, only another fatty would defend fatties!!! Are you implying that I suffer from obesity as well? How brilliant.

Actually I am not overweight, I work out almost every day and I love it.

I'm not personally offended at all, I'm simply disgusted with the bigotry I se

Chunkasaurus Rex

#70 yes I am very fat. I like to be fat, it's easy being lazy and people bring food to me sometimes. I do not smell like a lot of fatties though, I am able to reach under the flaps of my body chub and get the greasy cheese buildup from dead skin cells before it gets gross. I also keep a bucket in the shower I use to store hair that my beautiful large body has rejected. It has holes in the bottom of it so the water can drain right out.

Your skinny snobby ass would be disgusted. I bet you think you are attractive and have a mac and think you are better than people around you.

This is nothing...it could get worse, if you wan to see it, click on my name.

Woah. People have opinions.

@ Ashley and I-Kill-Bambis: make out already.

damn linkfail....

http://media.photobucket.com/image/fat%20guy%20in%20a%20little%20coat/TKJ_GIFs/FatGuy.gif

This is a pretty obvious photoshop, guys.

48's one of the few rational people here :).
Also take into account several airtravel companies will charge a person for two seats (due to cost of fuel usage) but will still only provide one seat, this is of high occurance.
Another thing to take into account. Steroids. No not the kind used in sports, the kinds used to treat medical problems like tumours, these can cause a massive and rapid increase in body fat.
And perhaps the guy was on the (possibly short) flight on his way to a decent Plastic surgery to have liposuction and stomach trimming?
Dont just judge on apperances, judge on FACTS instead, and hey who would have guessed it? We dont have them!

wow.... I can't believe only one other person realizes this is photoshopped.

Doesn't it strike you as strange that he's inhumanly TALL... not just wide? This man would barely be able to walk down the aisle because his Head would touch the ceiling! Either he's more proportionate than it looks and just an all around large person or this is shopped to make him look way bigger than he normally is.

seriously, think about your last flight. the chair comes to the back of your head... not the small of your back. Come on.

Add, I don;' know what you are..

I
Don't

Know

What
you Are
We don't even talk like that

Ok, 2 - 1

Well it's always nice to know that the amount of people scoffing at this guy's weight will never die. Internet snobbery at it's...best?

Anyway, there's no way the plane would be able to take off with him like that. It's against safety standards and he would either be seated in the two seats behind him, transferred to first class, or had his flight rescheduled to a less populated flight.

@79

No, that is not photoshopped. The reason why he appears to be so tall is because his ass can't fit into the seat. Literally.

The head to the right of him is almost aligned with his shoulders. If the fat beast could fit into the seat and was not hanging halfway off of it, it would look more normal.

If you read the news article, the picture was taken by an attendant who reported it to her boss. Clearly that cow sitting like that is not safe and by not charging him for two seats he has become a liability.

@81

yeah i will bet they didn't take off like that. Most likely they craned him into the two empty seats behind him.

"Well it's always nice to know that the amount of people scoffing at this guy's weight will never die"

What do you expect? There is no reason to be that disgustingly obese. Maybe he should stop shoveling food into his mouth and take of himself.

@ashley, I'm on your side. @I-Kill-Bambi's and that other ass whose name isn't important enough to remember will get theirs eventually. That way of thinking doesn't come without consequences.

its because of these fat f***ks that my school doesnt serve coke,cookies or anything worth eating i say if your over 25% fat you should be executed

@13. I'm a Fat Basher. What's wrong with that? Someone needs to do something about the Fat Bastards of this world. I guess you could say I'm a Fat Bastard Basher. That guy needs to buy one of those home lipo suction kits that you hook up to your car exhaust and his neighbors need to use it on him.

@27 you fat self-righteous fat slob. The air is supposed to fit the person, not the person fit the air so smokers should just light up Yes? Besides, you fat-no-one-can-tell-you-got-an-erection-from-the-armrest-shoved-up-your-ass-because-several-rolls-of-fat-hide-that-nasty-fact, YOU ARE BLOCKING THE F"KING AISLE!. And don't even mention he's not wearing a seatbelt and will crush several people if the plane hits turbulence

fat people have mental issues

@87 ..... :) little boy , F*CK OFF

Gratz!! You've just changed the world with your opinions!! I personally would like to thank you for educating me and everyone else, on the obese community.

MLIG

@45 Yeah, sue the airlines cause its there fault the guy is a big fat piece of shit

A person can live however they want and that is freedom, but once your "freedom" inconveniences/affects/ hurts others than others have a right to restrict it within reason. There is no law that states that people have the right to fly in airplanes. That is why airlines can and do follow such strict guidelines. This man most likely did pay for the two seats behind him, but for his sake and the sake of his family he should try to live healthier.

@ Ashley

It is unfortunate that you really don't have a sense for how others feel no matter how empathetic you pretend to be. You talk about people's feelings like it matters and then make fun of people who may disagree with you. Now I'm not saying that is necessarily wrong.....just hypocritical. By the way, I love Glen Beck.

Calm down people.

This guy is actually powering the aircraft; Boeing is testing out their new methane powered turbine engines. This allows high flatulence passengers to redeem a carbon neutral discount per kJ of flatulence power they provide for the aircraft.

I know the person pictured. He is a good person who would always help a friend no matter what. I know people will judge but he is a good friend.

You know what - you guys are overly harsh. Do you understand proportions? Look at the picture... Sure, he's not exactly thin, but also comparint his height to everyone else in shot, his head is a good foot above everyone else and that's not just due to a fat arse. That means he's probably 1-2 foot taller than everyone as well. So its reasonable to expect if you're that much taller you'll be a lot wider too. He's just a huge bloke! If he's so big that the headrest is that much too low its going to be to narrow too. He's just an outlier.

they in the bus nice :))

Did anyone care to look at the back of his chair??? There is NO way that this picture is NOT photo shopped. The top of the chair is missing. It's cropped off. And I don't care how reputable some media companies, they would have gotten this picture at least third or fourth hand, and somewhere (probably before the photo made it to the supposed boss) it was photo shopped.
