I read it as 'woman proves she can lift a cab'.... not so.

A 650 pound woman could probably fit a cab in herself.

"I need help. It's not something I can do myself, and for him to embarrass me ... I am going to take it as far as I can," Parker said.

two comments here. first off: help yourself, i doubt anyone force-fed you. secondly: if i weighed 650 pounds, i can't imagine anything someone could say to make me more embarrassed than i already am about myself. get over it.

"I'm 28yrs old, I go to sleep every night wonderin' if I'm gonna wake up in the mornin'"

Perhaps you need something other than Ribs to help you fall asleep at night not to mention it'll help cut down on the mud butt

Megain, Trunks - just so you know, overeating is not as easy as just changing your mind. To a lot of us it becomes a habit as much as nicotine (I'm not saying habitforming so much as mentally). It also becomes a defense mechanism or comforting action.

Thus, not being force-fed does not mean that you can just "help yourself".

I found a cousin in Tennessee through Ancestry.com. We talked by e-mail. I went to visit and he was an okay guy. Normal in size and intelligence. You could look at us and see right away we were related.

Now his daughter was a whole 'nother story. She was very bright but huge! About 450 pounds. Walked like that woman in the video but not quite as big (yet). But I knew she would fit in my small car. I taken my Metro for the long drive. Don't laugh, it was a good car while it lasted, about 7 years (bought it new).

One thing she did on the short trip (about 5 miles) was when she open the door she ripped the handle off. I think my eyes got as big as saucers. She looked so mortified I told her to forget about it. The doors lock automatically once you hit about 5 miles an hour and she didn't know that.

Anyway, cars can fit big people.

And no, she taken after her mom's side, not mine (thankful for that). I don't think I could get that damn fat if I worked at it.

fair enough, Gig103. and given that the article doesn't mention her regular taxi-ride destination (which may very well be an obesity clinic or something), i withdraw that part of my comment

i stand by the second part though. the last thing i'd do is bring a suit against someone else because of my problem due to emotional distress. i'd rather spend the money-grubbing attorney fees on something more productive like treatment, not replacement of blame. but that's just me :-)

650 pounds is just a little too chunky for me.

"Officials say people who believe they are victims of discrimination have legal options.

"They can request damages such as emotional distress. They can file for an injunction if there is a pattern. Some can even get out-of-pocket expenses," Civil Rights Commission Chief Counsel Gregory Ellis said."

It is good to know that now-a-days the only legal options ever mentioned are to pursue is money. What ever happened to just righting a wrong.

She seems to be under the delusion that she's a victim.

Oh, and the taxi driver humiliated her. I guess weighing 650 freakin' pounds isn't humiliating?

My head just exploded.

I liked the part where she says she's "trying to not end up like her father, who died weighing 700 pounds."

If by "trying" you mean "madly stuffing marshmellows into her mouth" she's doing a really good job.

*shakes head*

I bet he really just didn't want to driver her around from school to school looking for vending machines so she could get some lunch.

why should a cabby be forced to give ride to that?

poor guy is just making a living, life is hard enough without having to deal with 650 pound behemoth sweat pigs.

I seem to recall reading an article on Fark yesterday which stated something to the effect of being able to use this lady's sweat as sunscreen.

Anybody?

"My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo..."

The reason she is a fat, useless, sack of shiat is that she takes cabs short distances instead of walking...and blames everybody else in the world for her problems.

C'mon Darwin!!!

How come no one mentioned the smell this "650 pound behemoth sweat pig" would bring.

Being that friggin' huge you can't reach all places.

I wouldn't want her in my cab either.

I believe the cab driver was showing her fat-ass tough love.

why should she take a cab?

where are all the trash talk tv hosts with their heavy duty cranes clamoring to see who gets to lift her onto the back of a flatbed.

Oh yeah, I forgot...

I bet if she did get in, and then they got into a wreck and couldn't get her grotesquely fat ass out ...and burned or bled to death....her family would sue the cab company for letting her in!!

At 650 lbs., the cab would probably lose the differential and/or exhaust at the first pothole. I can't really blame him. Most cabbies lease their cars, don't they?

And yep, I bet she smells pretty bad.

Oh, I know all about overeating -- and it actually IS as easy as changing your mind. I finally looked at myself in the mirror and suddenly realized it wasn't about what I was eating, it was about WHAT WAS EATING ME. People have come to use eating as a way to compensate for all kinds of emotional issues. I personally had some tremendously painful things I had to face up to. The fat is just symbolic of how you're trying to insulate yourself from your pain.

As soon as I faced up to what was bothering me, that's when I took responsibility and STOPPED SHOVING FOOD IN MY PIEHOLE. As well as getting off my ass, turning off the television and GETTING A LIFE.

It's really quite simple.

So that's what a 650-pound person looks like. I don't make enough money to sustain that load for myself. I mean, it looks like it could be work to keep that size.

I'd bet the cab fits into her more easily than she fits into the cab.

She might fit into a cab, but she probably sits AROUND the house.

Too bad Morrissey hasn't done anything stupid enough today to render a mention on fark. His song with the Smiths, "Some girls are bigger than others" would go perfectly with this article. I bet she rides one of those electric carts around the supermarket. Sheesh, absolutely no exercise + eating way to much=650lb biatch!

The seat springs didn't fare so well I bet. My ex's mother was that big and she broke the back of front seat before she had to stop driving. And people that large are apt to get fungal infections in the folds if they are not washed by a home health aide.
