Jeebus 😯
This is a whole world of 😯
He's a big lad isn't he?
Seen the advert enough to make me feel sick and not want to watch it. Certainly not feeling sorry for him!
Missed it as was watching Arsenal held 0-0 by a shockingly negative Man City. Worth a watch then?
It's only been on for 20 mins. There's 40 mins of the "journey" left.
Can't see it, but surely it must make Mastiles_funnyloins very content with his defence of the McDonalds [i]brand[/i]. 😉
I can't watch that kind of thing just makes me shout at the tele.
Who feeds him anyway ?? I have seen the ads and there is no way he can get to the fridge on his own. Somebody must be feeding him. Lock that person up.
Oh he has twelve hours a day carers on tap.
The bedbath was not pleasant.
Oh 😯 ick!
Ironically, I got an ' all you can eat ' advert up there ^^ when I opened this thread.
Genius!!
57 stone wtf 😯
Anything like this offering from Mexico?

Barf!
I am going to wait till it finishes then download it to watch. Expect my outrage sometime shortly after 8)
I bet you would love to lick his folds.
I may be being ignorant but I cant see why really fat people don't just stop eating as much?
Its like the simplest solution to the not so complicated problem of putting on a bit of weight.
Still I'm off for a kebab, He is inspirational.
they had to reinforce the hospital...
he really is massive. and not a little camp. there's a world of gags in there somewhere...
what balls.
Is that scrotum skin i can see in that picture?
Actually, it's such a pathetic story all round, I can't really get angry about it.
Sorry just gone from 😯 to... no sorry can't find a smiley that shows my jaw hitting the floor!
letting the side down there dd. he's hanging over the edge of the operating table before they whittle him down!
I bet you would love to lick his folds.
thanks, i just about vomited
looks like they'r trying to herd jelly on that there operating table :O
im pretty liberal ( like him with the chips ), I dont write these things off as idiotic people not looking after themselves but........ if I got to 20 stone, id be well aware I had a serious issue, if I got to 30 stone id start worrying, if I got to 40 stone I'd feel id let myself down badly..... if I had to get someone else to make my food because I couldnt myself I be well aware of my issues, like 3 or more times a day.... every time I see these naff documentaries I wonder how long does it take for the penny to drop?!!?
i'd say there was a mental health issue with someone getting that fat. to ignore the signs at 20 30 40 50 stone you have to have something missing in your thought processes/upbringing/environment etc
he gets £700 a week from the government!!!! w t f ? I can't even get £25 a week grant to help my business along...
Oh the scene where they told him his weekly budget was being cut in half. I'm not sure what to think anymore 😯
Pretty sad really.
idle fat man in dole cut to £350 a week for doing nothing shocker? i have sympathy, but not that much sympathy. nice to see him getting happier after 6 months and 18 stone lost though 🙂 guess he managed ok on £350.
Aye, he didn't take it to well.....
bum wash. tooooo much 😯
Why did I read this thread and turn over to watch.....
Thanks God I ate a few hours ago.
I'm out. too disgusting.
he gets £700 a week from the government!!!! w t f ? I can't even get £25 a week grant to help my business along...
I think you know what you need to do....
*hands trailertrash a tub 'o lard and spoon*
still.... even if he cannot see the error of his ways whoever makes the decision to finance the effective slo-mo suicide, sending cooks round for people who are too obese to cook, surely must tag on that something should've been done long ago, before financing another 10 stone of weight gain.... sod it im going out for 3 lagers and a kebab....
I felt quite emotional when he got to go out in his wheelchair 😕
idle fat man in dole cut to £350 a week
Really?
350 a week, I have to get up at 05:30 everyday to earn less than that at the moment. Pass the pies someone!! Can anyone see the problem?
you think he would have smashed the glass aginst the wall if he had to clear it up himself 😆

See, this is because you lack something called [i]empathy[/i]. As hard as it may be, to imagine yourself in such a position, if you could try it just for a minute, then maybe you'd understand just how miserable a person must really be, to be like that. As has been mentioned, mental health issues are more than likely at the root of all this. A happy, well-adjusted person wouldn't get to that state.
But carry on, feel free to take the piss out of the 'fatty', if it helps you feel better about yourself. Maybe take a moment to think why you need to put others down to bring yourself up, perhaps, just a thought. Oh, and don't forget to moan about his 'dole scrounging' etc, will you? 🙄
but he was perfectly healthy at 17 he admitted himself its his own fault and he should have took control...
sorry but he done it to himself no 1 forced him.
No-one wants to be that fat. He feels he should have 'taken control', yet couldn't/wouldn't. There's a reason for that, which probably he himself isn't even aware of. It's not 'normal' behaviour, is it?
Sorry elfin - why do people always make excuses for idle gluttony. No one makes him stuff his face continuously.
Programmes like that boil my piss. It's not genetic or a disease. Perhaps should show him the the film SEVEN.
Why help people who are not prepared to help themselves. I had to turn it off when the use of a Chinook helicopter was mentioned. Our troops have been lacking choppers and post trauma medical facilities but a fat, idle lump who has sponged for years gets the red carpet treatment. No sympathy, empathy or time for him.
Elfin, To what level do you thing the State should fund this mans lifestyles? I'm not talking about the medical costs but the money that covers his food bill. And a lifestyle is what it is as that level of food is not required to keep him alive (remember he was putting on weight for a long time, so there was a lot of un-needed calories).
ELFINSAFETY - you should take the time to understand and sympathize with the unlucky few of us around here who ( through no fault of their own ) cannot, sadly, empathize with others....
56 stone is clearly a mental heath issue. I hope he can be helped poor fella, some of you seem weirdly hateful..
I've had to wait a little while before posting as I was fuming. So wrong on so many counts.
Why in the name of god and all the wee men did someone continue to feed him excessively when he was no longer able to get out of bed ?????
As for his tantrum and tears when his care package was cut to a 'mere' 6 hours a day, I felt like someone should have given him a damn good kicking. There are plenty far more deserving people out there who don't get a fraction of the help this guy gets. And as a finale to the program, he still appeared to be able to eat a meal bigger then I would have despite having had his stomach stapled!!
Pathetic, utterly bloody pathetic
Mental health is mental health and should be dealt with. Obesity and supporting that type of obesity is something else. How much would it have cost to address the mental health issues against the current costs?
Mental health aside, a simple and substantial cost saving could have been made by limiting his calorie intake the moment he couldn't get out of bed. If he wanted more he would have to move his lard arse to get it.
If that seems harsh I make no apology as I see more deserving people on a daily basis who receive virtually no help.
How does one decide who deserves what I wonder?
Only watched a brief moment of the program, where the surgeon being interviewed prior to the operation, his comment was on the medical costs, "the operation would cost £12K, but what would be the medical costs be without the operation ?". Ok there are other costs involved, such as getting him to and from hospital etc etc.
So, looking at a rounded picture here (no pun intended) i believe that the local authorities have recognised resources can be utilised better elsewhere for the more needy, so by offering the operation allows them to reduce the 24hr care, reduce the food bill from £650 to £350, and giving the lad a starting point to turn himself round. Therefore being a lesser burden.
Admittedly more could of been done long before hand, by all involved.
Plus the tabloid media don't help matters much either
