TFettes everywhere feel outraged about this and waddle to their nearest Golden Corral food bar.

Sybarite: Despite his list of ailments, Barry, of Burton on Trent, Staffs, has been refused incapacity benefit after leaving his job at Crestchic.

Awww, poor baby didn't manage to eat himself into disability.

I'm sure he can find some Play-Doh somewhere that will put him over the limit.

Ok seriously, someone explain to me how you get a body shaped like this? What is that second tired...shaped....thing? It looks like he's actually wearing two tires under his shirt.



Barry, 51 - who also has diabetes, angina and other heart problems - said: "I had to climb on to platforms about three feet off the floor to install parts. They were worried I might pass out through my diabetes. They said my weight was a threat in case I fell off and landed on someone."

No shiat? Someone nearing retirement age who weighs 420 lbs, has diabetes, angina and other heart issues and they have the audacity to think you may keel over and crush someone? How dare they....think reasonably

Because you ate yourself into that situation.


He gets £21.65-a-week Jobseeker's Allowance.

The angry dad of one said: "I've paid tax for 34 years and should get something in return.

You have, it's called the NHS. That service that has managed to keep 420 lbs of 51 year old failure waddling around despite that land monster experiencing regular blackouts in addition to his diabetes, angina and other heart ailments.

Oh you mean you want a big cash payout for the government because "I've paid taxes". Gotcha.

what_now: Is there a reason this man can't begin a course of water aerobics?

There were some territorial issues involving Japanese whaling fleets.

If it wasn't for the risk he posed to others I would say let him continue his routine of climbing up high, using powertools and blacking out, the problem would sort itself out eventually.

Nice to hear someone's looking out for the little guy.

This guy sounds fat.

Dammit, another person I want to sponsor for TF for a month... and they're already a TFer.

Oh well, I guess I'll just go for a swim in my money pile out back, instead.

/Evolution isn't fair; it just is.

Simpsons did it

30 stone? That's 420 pounds.

420, tubby? Don't fire him because he's fat; fire him because he's a lousy stoner!

Revenge for Fatty!

/hot as a 20-second underwater bong hit

Pocket Ninja: Wow, that's actually the reason.

And how does he not crush his wife? She looks tiny next to him.

She goes on top.

He's of French extraction. This is his cousin:

Of course man. Imagine if you fell, we'd have to cut you free. And who the fark is going to clean up all that gravy... huh?

bump: And how does he not crush his wife? She looks tiny next to him.

She goes on top.

They're married. This topic is a non-issue.

No, they make this thing that looks like a tray-table to support the fatty's weight without crushing the person on bottom. There's a website for fat-people accesories out there, it's pretty hilarious.

bump: He's overwieght and has health problems - ahahahahahahaha.

Let's all point and laugh at him now - ahahahahhahaha....

We're pointing and laughing because he's whining that the government won't pay him more money to sit around and eat enough for a small third world country, which is how he came by his self inflicted health problems in the first place.

And because it's Fark, and that's how we roll.

what_now: Is there a reason this man can't begin a course of water aerobics? While swimming, running, biking etc might be dangerous for him, a low impact workout in a pool might be perfect.

From a weight-loss standpoint, water-based exercise actually isn't really going to do all that much good. To really burn calories, you need to be bearing some weight. That doesn't necessarily mean lifting weights; the body's own weight is enough for many forms of exercise (running, for example, or martial arts or even yoga). But if the water is holding you up, you aren't bearing weight, and that causes problems for weight loss. None of this is intended to diminish the value of swimming or other water sports as exercise, but you can't turn a screw with a hammer: different situations require different tools.

IANAD (and IANAPT, for that matter), but I'd be more inclined to recommend an elliptical, which is weight-bearing but low-impact.

Smokers have been the target of inequities for years. I knew it was only a matter of time before society moved on to fatties and it appears that time is now. Good. A little late but better late than never. The scarlet letter has been passed.

USDOT physical requirements for drivers (new window)

the high blood pressure and diabetes keep a lot of people from behind the wheel of semi-trucks

Came for the go be fat somewhere else pic, leaving satisfied...

Am I understanding this correctly? A Rupert Murdoch newspaper (which is subscribed mostly by people that are fat AND stupid) is found defending their own consumers?

There, but for the grace of God, go I.

Plus one of my closest friends, if you go by weight.

Sorry, I'm trying to learn how to add a link, and I am very old, and we all know about "Old dogs and new tricks!"

I was trying to follow the instructions provided by FARK, but I don't seem to "Get It"

Anyone else ever have trouble like this or am I I just to tarded to link???

Be kind to the elderly (It sneaks up on you faster then you think.)

This brings an interesting point, though. Men complain about how women get fat after marriage (child bearing can be cruel to some women). Yet here's this fatty mcfatterson (beer can be cruel to some men) with his thin wife.

Just felt like pointing out it can and does go the other way.

IdBeCrazyIf: Of course man. Imagine if you fell, we'd have to cut you free. And who the fark is going to clean up all that gravy... huh?




A couple of these might help the situation.

Hell, eventually I'd probably even find something to with the bread.

a guy this fat has to clumb? WTF?

I mean I would be mad if he was that fat and had a desk job and they fired him but this is ridiculous. He can't dow hat his job expects him to accomplish, simple fact.

Yes, the Simpsons is really obscure

Find the link you want to share and copy it...then click the third to the last button on the right, right above the comment section where you write posts. It has the arrow.

Click that button....find where the code says "link". Delete "link" and pasta your copied link in there and and hit submit.

Voila.

hopefully.

oh sh*t..that's wrong...you paste it right where the cursor is blinking

I thought the headline was a joke....was not.
/couldn't they just find another way to fire him?
//ohhh you're 30 sec. late, hit the bricks!

He receives a 21 pounds per week allowance.

21 pounds. Per week. To live.
