hahahaha! oh god i don't even know what to say about this. That's just insane.
That's insane...and totally her own fault :D
U know ... America... Well... im sorry... i... i cant even go on...
That's sad. :rolleyes2
That's a truly horrible situation for someone to end up in.
How can someone get into such a state? For that matter, how can someone's family just sit by and let it happen?
Someone must've been bringing her food and taking care of her basic needs; there are people who knew how bad things were yet did nothing at all.
:barf:
Dude, that breaks my heart. How embarrasing for that woman also. I hope that they don't release her name or anything. That has to be the craziest story I've ever read....man...she was one with the couch....I hope there's a way to help her out.
uhh guys do you understand what that means? she probably hasn't brushed her teeth in FIVE YEARS!

If this is true, it's really sad that someone could let it go so far.
Okay this is off topic but what the hell. What does America have to do with this? DO you not have any fat people in whatever uptight perfect country you're from?Quote:

I think that he is from America, Spiff, but it does seem that America gets sensationalized for stuff like this...although it might just as well be Canada.
There must have been something *REALLY* interesting on TV...
How? How can you get so huge you have to sit in your own waste?

For the record, I am African-American born in Tacoma, Wahsington, United States of AMERICA. So next time 1. Stop 2. Think 3. Come up with a respectful way to query someone about what they said, cuz u never know when u dont have all the information or took something the wrong way. Then u end up looking like a jack@$$
And in refernce to my comment, i was talking about how horrible the people of MY COUNTRY (*AMERICA*) are becoming when it comes to staying healthy and in shape, im soo sick and tired of people just letting themselves go. Its utterly riddiculous to me. But i myself cant do anything about it unfortunately, people will realize one day when theres noone else to help them and they gotta help themselves.
I know this thread is old, but if you click on the link, it has changed. Now the woman is dead. She died while they were trying to get her off the couch! I don't really know what to say, other than that this is inexcusable on the families part.
That is really sad. :(
Its more sickening to me than anything...geez, how does one get that big? And how do those around her allow her to get that big...
But yeah it is sad too...I hadn't seen this thread earlier so I have no clue what the other article was about.
chaos: Six years... How sad... :cry:
Rubedo: But how could've someone actually stayed there like that? I can't imagine being on a couch that long...
I personally can't even begin to understand how that can happen. It seems impossible to me. There is NO WAY her family should be allwed to get away with this. This is just attrocious.
chaos: I'm surprised how her family could allow this to happen too...
Rubedo: :shame:
Holy crap I just got that.... :p :p :pQuote:

Anyway, so this is old. Umm...it's quite a sad story, really. Have you seen that movie, "Who does Gilbert Grave love?" (Well, I am translating from the Spanish translation of the title). It had a similar case, two brothers and a fat mother who was sick in bed and couldn't move. Yet, when she died they decided that she did not deserve the humilliation of being carried away with machines and a big hole in the wall, so they just burnt down the house with the corpse in it. I thought that was somehow poetic.
Yes, great movie...Leonardo DiCaprio's best preformance ever IMO. The title in America was "Whats Eating Gilbert Grape?". It was sad...and its exactly what comes to mind whenever I hear about things like this.Quote:

I try.
Well, it was funny. Funny for a little bit, and then it jsut became horrible. My attention shifted from the fat woman to the hell-bound assholes who allowed it to happen.
And yes, WarAngles joke was pretty damned funny.
I don't think anyone is to blame, other than her. I mean, it doesn't say she was mentally ill or otherwise handicapped there - just dumb as a rock. She ate and ate and ate... untill she couldn't move. She could've called someone, as well. Basically, she killed herself. I don't think it's a case of neglection.Quote:

i've just started thinking about the logistics about surviving on a couch for 6 years and i'm quite scared of the depths of human depravity.
She obviously kept on eating and drinking all of those years, otherwise, she would've lost weight and managed to get up. She either brought herself food, or had someone bring it to her... either way, she didn't care much for anything else. And so, she died there, on the couch. Seems fitting to me.
Well, War Angel, you don't know, maybe it was an ALIEN REPUBLICAN CONSPIRACY that made her stay there.
Anyway, I trhink it must be preety sad anyway. I mean, imagine how boring the life of that woman must have been. God, actually I'd rather be dead than eating crap food in a couch watching TV. How empty must it feel to only do such vulgar activites in your life!
don't knock it, it isn't that bad.
BUT IT IS. O_OQuote:
