first
And fattest?
Look, there’s a TV on that plane. That means it’s a long flight! XD
tv doesnt mean anything, there are tvs on 2hr flights
That’s a least two people right there
people that fat should be put to sleep. they dont care about anyone around them. vile people.
i feel so sorry for anyone who has to see him, not only on a plane, bus or workspace but in the street or on a picture on a website.
It’s my brother in law…I’m about 99% sure….and I definitely concur with this.
You know who else wanted an entire group of people “put to sleep” ? The Nazis. I hope both of you rot in hell.
are you implying that you support fat people? or is cus you ARE fat?
angry fatboy is angry
What if someone indicated that you should be put down due to the color of your hair or eyes? Why does his weight indicate a lack of concern for those around him? What if he has Graves Disease? You wouldn’t dare post that comment about a race or religion, and yet it’s considered okay to say something that hateful about a large group of people because of their weight? Maybe before you talk about something that is tantamount to genocide, you should think about your words.
You sound fat.
lets start with him >.>
Every fattie has an excuse, don’t they? Graves disease, sure!
Eye color, hair color, and race are not choices, but gluttony and laziness certainly are. And yes, this self-entitled land whale does exude a lack of concern about those around him, as well as for the human race in general.
The truth hurts, doesn’t it. And you DO sound fat!
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you self-rightious, egotistical air heads. You were the type of kids in high school that got their thrills from bullying people, and now the magic of the internet has let you bully thousands of people without the risk of anyone knowing what your putrid, puss-filled head looks like. At least fat people can change their weight, because you people will always be ignorant and stupid. And guess what? I am overweight, but damnit, I make it look good.
haha you said large group of people. i bet you didnt even realize it.
you MOO sound FAT! and how is the (probably thin ) stewardess suppose to get her/his cart down the aisle to serve the THINNER passengers
a stewardness is a female, so why the he/she?
Graves Disease would make one skinny, not fat, because that is HYPERthyroidism. You are thinking of Cushing Disease, for which you get moon facies and a buffalo hump and abdominal obesity. Still, that shouldn’t make you fat like this guy. This guy eats his feelings (and the feelings of those around him).
Wonderful suggestion! Lets start with turning North America in to one big con- eh I mean fatcamp.. They can do months without food, provided a steady supply of water and vitamine..
Put them all on exercise bikes hooked up to a generator, and voila! The worlds fattest nation is now a renewable energy source, CO2 emissions are cut cause we don’t have to haul their fat asses around on airplanes anymore and we can give all the American’s food to starving people around the rest of the world! yay!
Weight you can control , this is why we feel its a lack of concern for your surroundings, for sapce and excessive consumption of resources, while others are starving in some places.
yes i also agree i think mcdonalds might suffer though
Stupid and inconsiderate people like you should be put to sleep as well for making such idiotic comments.
I bet you weigh more than 300 pounds, fat pig.
And my guess is you have no life other than trolling failblog because you have no friends IRL.
While I do agree people who don’t care about anyone around them should be put to sleep, fat is not an indicator of this.
Yes, I’m fat and yes I simply purchased 2 plane tickets for myself as outlined in the guidelines of the airliner.
its funny cus ur fat
you should live in canada , they dont make you buy 2 over here ( not that i care im underweight trying to put some on)
go 2 hell
Wow Hitler felt the same way about the Jews. You are a sadistic bastard
The TV’s are turned off, many short flight have TVs too, but they are used for showing the safety instructions / commercials and not for movies…
Luckily he is in the center of the plane… else the pilots would have to use full flaps on one of the wings
iPulsar, I dont think there is such a thing as differential flaps
That is a Boeing 757. They can be used in both Long and Short flights. However, I feel sorry for the passenger next to him. He should have purchased the whole row!!
MeHere it looks like the guy next to the fat guy might be my dad
hopefully those genes wernt passed on
Wait, did you say “genes”? Oh, because, duh, there are lots of other reasons people are fat other than “eating their feelings.” Contrary to the popular belief of gullible idiots like all of you, science is not empirical on issues of obesity.Do people need to exercise? Yes. Eat healthy food? Yes. Keep stress levels low and avoid unhealthy behavior? Absolutely. However, none of those behaviors necessarily lead to being thin. They lead to being healthy.
^^Definitely a fatty.
Eating healthy food, as you say, does not necessarily lead to being thin.
Unless you eat a normal-sized portion of it which will most certainly lead to you being thin(ner).
Now go eat a super-sized salad bucket, fatso.
Guess what? You can be overweight and healthy, just like you can be thin and unhealthy. Get a clue and stop trying to boost your ego off the insults of others. Go to hell.
Uhh…why don’t you fatties do some research about health. If you are fat…you are never healthy! Fat absorbs toxins from the food you eat (among other things) like a sponge and your internal organs are surrounded by mucus, pus, and toxins from years of overeating and consuming processed foods of which you can’t even name the ingredients.
you can’t tell from the interior that it is a 757….but you are right, aircraft with outdated monitors in the ceiling aren’t only used for long hauls
Yes, you can tell the interior of an aircraft. That is the coach section of a 757.. I used to clean airplanes out for a living, and have always loved aviation.. The coach seats in the 757 are the worst type to sit in, as they are really narrow, and hurt the hips, and do not lean back far enough to get any rest on them..
nope….could be a 737….you can’t see the exits. a 757 has more door exits….there isn’t a break in the overhead bins to allow for exit. i used to be a flight attendant….
Yes, because they uninstall and reinstall the monitors for each flight, depending upon the flight’s length.
Where the hell is his armrest?
Do not ask questions for which you are unprepared for the answers.
rotfl… that made me crack up
Thanks!
You and the armrest both were up cracked.
it its now a crackrest
it is now a crack rest*
I believe the answer is up his crack.
Fatty ate it!!!!
whether this is an American airline or not, I dont know – I have heard that it was an AA jet that this occurred on…but this aircraft is definitely not a 767, it is a single aisle jet and a 767 is a double aisle jet with a 2-3-2 seating configuration…the TV’s hanging from the ceiling are very common on American jets and I am guessing this is either a 757 or 737 based on the 3-3 seating configutration…both of those jets had the TV’s on Delta before they started reconfiguring their interior with the TV’s at each seat…
akme- i mean wayne, why do you know so much about the configuration of airplanes?
I used to work for Delta Air Lines…found this blog on a link from airliners.net
Looks like a Continental Airlines 737 to me. Could be a 757 I suppose, but I know that the 737-500’s had ceiling monitors like that. It’s not American Airlines — the seats don’t match.
Wrong. I’ve been on hundreds of US flights, CRT televisions were built into the ceilings of older planes for years. Nowadays depending on the airline they’ve either been removed or they’re just hanging there unused.
wrong. CRTs are still on lots of planes in the US esp American Airlines.
That is an American Airlines 757 plane.
Actually it looks like an American Airlines 737. they have those CRT type monitors in the ceiling. They don’t have the flip down LCD on the older 737s.
Way too small and wrong overhead bins for a 767. Coach in 767s seat 7 across, not 6.
That is most DEFINATELY a 757. I can tell by the overhead bins, the style of CRT monitors, and paneling of the plane. Correct, 767’s seat 7 across.
That is most DEFINATELY a 757. I can tell by the overhead bins, the style of CRT monitors, and paneling of the plane. Correct, 767’s seat 7 across.
Posted twice for that double “Im smarter than you” effect.
oops. lol
You are wrong. That is with 100% certainty an american airlines flight. It uses their seating material, and I know I have personally been on their 757’s that have TVs hung from the aisle.
Most of them show a blue or out-of-alignment picture. The entertainment value of it is slim to non, and like almost all other equipment that AA owns, it’s old, worn and dirty.
No cant be an American Airline as he`s the only American in the aircraft
I was wondering the same thing..I don’t think the aisle arm rest can be raised up… that’s gotta hurt..
You’re fast no doubt
Oh, lookee… it’s the p0rn site camera boy. Still trolling for customers, “jenny”?
I had no idea there were so many plane experts on failblog.
this is Epic Win not fail
How Tall is he?
that’s just his arse fat pushing him higher! what a dirty bastard!
I think he must feel like a potato about to be fired froma drain pipe!
Wait… you call him a “dirty bastard” and yourself “I. blowgoats”? Aha.
It takes one to know one?
Pot calling kettle??
No. It’s a goatboy calling the boy a goat.
Outstanding, Arthur Eld! I’m still chuckling over this five minutes after originally reading!
Not as tall as it seems.
It looks like he’s sitting on something placed on the seat.
His butt cheek is on the armrest so that gives him at least a foot higher than anyone else.
yes, he’s siiting on his ass, that is placed on the seat
He is the poster boy for the airlines to charge double for grossly overweight people. He may not be as tall as we think he is (if he is sitting on the armrest, which I think would break – or at least go between his butt cheaks) but his width is two seats. Airline seats are made on the smaller side (made for people who are 5′7″, weight about 170 lbs) but he is easily in the 450+ category
I saw on TV a while ago: apparently some airlines do make “passengers of size” buy a second seat. But they don’t guarantee that the two seats are adjacent.
Seriously.
I’m suddenly glad that the European budget airlines don’t assign seating.
He looks to be tall even if his butt is propped up on the armrest. I’m guessing a few inches above 6 feet, or just a bit less tall than he is wide.
Standing up or lying down?
Same answer either way.
The passengers behind him will never see the stewardess.
or recieve their peanuts.
how will the stewardess pass by ?
One gulp, then about 3 hours I reckon.
Looks like he ate the people behind him, the row is empty… and that’s “flight attendant” thank you very much;)
The row in back of him had to be moved back to accommodate his largeness. Wonder if the airlines charged him for those additional seats?
food cart will be an issue
Food cart will not need go further than him!
In more reasons then 1 I say.
he already ate it…and the stewardess with it!
R.I.P.
The food trolly???
O.o indeed
Trolley jammed into the shoulder repeatedly for sure.
Will he be wearing a seatbelt or a shoulderbelt? What happens if turbulence is experienced during the flight?
The people beside him will need the complimentary wheelchair.
I know as a ATP, and the final say as to anything that happens on the aircraft, this plane would not take off with that passenger, in that seating configuration.
“turbulance”? What if they experience flatulence?
lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooo
…how do they get past him 2 go to the bathroom…..
Pole vault.
you made my day
That was easy.
I imagined it perfectly in my head…
… as long as you do not land on it, you will be fine.
Same as he does to the foodcart/Stewardess…
He eats them, then they have to wait for him to go to the bathroom…
thats not fail. thats sad
I agree erinaaaaa
When he inhales deeply, oxygen masks will fall out of the overhead compartments.
*ROFL*
Rolf Harris!
HAHA, Thats what i think of everytime i see Rofl *Can You guess What it is Yet*
*wobbleboards*
Best!
George?
Maradona good.
Pele better.
George best.
Apostrophe placement fail.
What do I win?
I hope he didn’t sit on anyone
We’ll never know.
On the baby’s arm holding an apple?
That’s not comfort fail… it’s person’s width fail…
Thank you. All the world’s morons complain about airline seats, but they’re really quite sufficient if you’re reasonably fit.
I won’t say comfortable, be cause the padding on some of them sucks, but that doesn’t relate to the photo.
Oh, and I’m 5′6. I have footroom, as does anybody 5′10 or under. Suck it, tall people.
Yes, there’s plenty of footroom — until you do others the courtesy of storing your bag under the seat in front of you, and then there’s nothing. I’m 5′5, once that bag is under there, I’m in pain the whole flight on even the roomier planes because I can’t stretch my legs enough to remove the pressure on my bad knees.
just do what I do, store it during take off and landing and then put it under your knees so you can stretch your legs out
Maybe I have been driving the smutbus too long but that sounds so sexual to me.
Like I said…
You are funny. For a smutbus driver.
I found out about a naughty step. I may have to trade in my keys to the smutbus for a naughty step. I like that. *sings my milkshake brings all the boys to the naughty step*
Napoleon complex.
ROFL.
coincidence that he’s in the middle of the plane?
if he were not in the middle the plane would have balance problems
middle *of* the plane
of course
A comma would have worked as well. Following the word “middle”.
if he was on the side the plane, it would be going in circles from the tilt.
u r right, komma was missing…
*joke*
A rather broad lady showed up at the theatre just before the
performance started and handed the usher two tickets. “Where’s
the other party?” asked the usher.
“Well,” said the lady, with a blush, “you see one seat
is a little small for me and rather uncomfortable so I bought
two. But they’re both really for me.”
“Okay with me, lady,” the usher replied, scratching
his head. “There’s just one problem. Your seats are numbers
fifty-one and sixty-three.”
Talk about your split personality…
My uncle was about to fly on a puddle-jumper and as the passengers boarded, they were asked their weight. A heavyset woman before him obviously lied when asked. My uncle asked the flight attendant, “Why are you asking us our weight?” “We need to know how much weight we’ll be carrying in order to determine how much fuel to put in the plane.” Horrified, imagining a crash because embarrassed fat people lied, my uncle responded, “Fill ‘er up!!!”
Should have shoved the fatass in the cargo hold
how does he fasten his seatbelt? bungee cord maybe?
There are belt extensions for pregnant women. Five or six inserts should do the trick.
Not that he needs those. He is probably well wedged into position.
If the plane ruptures, he’ll save everyone tho cos he’ll plug the hole with that huge bulk of his.
P.S: How does he go for a number 1 in the toilet?
Would he even fit through the toilet door?
More poignant question: How does he get into the stall. He’ll have to stand outside the door and ask someone else to flush. I hope he has good aim!
Good job too, wouldn’t want him bouncing around in a plane crash.
this guy was brought into then plane thru the cargo section
i guess he got inside the plane while it was assembled
Wouldn’t this be against some sort of flight safety guidelines? I couldn’t imagine it’d be legal when he’s blocking off the corridor which needs to be clear in an emergency.
I remember my uncle once telling me that some fat guy on a flight he was on was told he wasn’t allowed to sit next to the emergency exit because people wouldn’t be able to get past
The people who sit in the “emergency exit” rows or Exit Rows, as it were, have to agree to be able to assist if there is indeed an emergency. You have to be able to open the door, which is difficult for small/old/out of shape people, and you have to be able to assist others before you get yourself out. They do not allow elderly, children, obese, pregnant or unfit people in those rows. I always get the exit row and then feel bad for the guys that are a foot taller than me scrunched up in the seat in front of me. (LOTS of leg room)
And the seats in front of the exit row don’t recline. Definitely not fun if you have long legs.
Tell me about it!
People always complain about leg room, but non-reclining chairs are worse for me. When I fall asleep my neck keeps dropping down
That’s why you get one of those neck donuts and turn it around so the back is in the front. Your head will stay straight and you will sleep beautifully. Trust a person that flew enough this year to fly around the world twice and then some.
So you’re the one!
We had a guy at my company that was really tall. His sons played for the NFL (one has a superbowl ring with the Ravens). Big guys, in other words. He and I had to make several trips together and I always got the exit row and I would offer it to him and he would never take it. I have been known to offer tall guys with window seats my exit row seat but no one ever takes it. I don’t mind moving as long as I sit by the window so I can curl up with my neck pillow, close the window and cover my head with a blanket before take off and go to sleep until we land.
i want to be on your next flight. it’s almost impossible to get an exit row or bulkhead seat anymore unless you have enough FF miles to qualify as elite status
Meet me in Tulsa, I fly next Tuesday.
Come to Europe and buy a $10 flight somewhere. They don’t assign seating, but you can pay another $10 to be one of the first on the plane and grab whatever seat you want. (If there’s no one in a wheelchair or pregnant, you can take a front row seat.)
“…have been known to offer tall guys…my exit row…”
Wow, you are the friendly one. They don’t even have to take you to dinner and a movie first?
lol everyone avoided the question. that was my first thought too. this would have to be illegal, he’s blocking the aisle. don’t most airlines have a policy that if you are overweight you have to buy two seats?
I believe that they do.
Happy Birthday Mr Cheezburger!
*tootles melodiously on kazoo*
*dances*
Oh yeah! Burpday bumps for Ben.
*wiggledancestoMoominmusic*
WOOHOO BEN!!!
*throws confetti*
Damnit!!!
Big buttery birthday wishes to the Big Cheese!
I am not completely sure who this person is but I will wish him/her a happy birthday nonetheless. I guess someone that appeared while I was away doing important “save the world” work?
Wait… you work? (like I have any room to comment on work habits…)
No. Ben, the big boss of cheezburger network.
It’s Ben, the CEO of the Cheezburger network.
Hippo Birdies Big Cheez!
Meh, pictures and logs or he doesn’t exist.
The Ben is a lie?
Say it isn’t so!
Without proof there is no existence.
Woo hoo!
*re-wheels in cake shaped like Failblog*
Pilot- “Ok everyone fasten your seat belts we are about to take off.”
Fat guy- “Seat belt? What seat belt?”
Guy sitting next to fat guy- “The one your sitting on dumba*s.”
Fat guy – “Come here smart ass!” nom nom nom
That was so witty and funny that I am crying laughing here. No, really it was hillarious. Well thought out and a very surprising finish.
Please, give us more high quality jokes like this one.
Dumba*s
My grandma was forced to buy TWO seats when she went on an airplane…
Your grandma might be fat.
Was she allowed to keep the seats after the flight?
Your grandma so fat…
one sitt for each buttock…this one should do the same
lol, pretty much.
You know, in Canada (Canadian airlines ) If you need an extra seat for the extra cheek you can get it for free!
luckily he chose the isle option
He IS the isle option.
Unless you would like to borrow this ‘a’ I found lying around…
a
NoThis man is an isle.Then who is the rock?
Dwayne Johnson?
Simon and Garfunkel?
Then who’s phone?
See, that’s the problem. He’s the rock AND the isle.
shouldn’t he be in the cargo-bay?
Oh, that smell, can you smell that smell????
It smells like… smegma.
……but less cheesy
Don’t be disappointed.
‘And your emergency exits are here, here and in this fat guy’s stomach.’
but where is his emergency exit? I have a stiff I need to get rid of
pretty sweet if the plane crashed on a desert island and there was a food shortage – I got dibs on those dumplings
You are sick.LOL
ok we can share
Hey Granny!
Please check this:”Good Neighbors” at ht tp://failpeeps.wordpress.com/. The one comment reveals the name of the person. Just thought I’d let you know.
*squeeze*
Let it go.
Go fück yourself.
Let’s hear it for umlauts!
I guess it’s okay in English, in German it would be “Umlaute”.
*gasp*
5eags! That was terrible. I miss the better times when this blog was not full of bigotry and hatred tearing apart a few regulars from the rest. It saddens me to say though that this is my fault. I take the blame for this. My comments on a fail months back started this cr@p, and I deeply regretted my words. I ask for forgivence to those that I’ve offended, especially Fluffy. However, I understand if you decide to not forgive me. I was stupid with my words, and hurt many people. All I ask of is a blank slate, and I’ll promise to act much more mature. If not, then I’ll simply leave
Errr…
How come you take the blame for the asshats misbehaviour? HE left an antisemitic comment on the lolcats page, HE left an “anonymus” threat on Dragon’s website – and all of this was just the final step on a long way of repeated offenses by HIM. What’s your fault in this?
Ok, before 5eags got overboard, I was the bigoted @$$hat, and he was my friend, but he diddn’t say anything bigoted until recently. I’m afraid my terrible words have rubbed off onto him.
Everyone is responsible for their own behaviour. And no, as I said he made many questionable comments.
Wow, this makes me very glad I was absent all those months. I am glad I missed the nonsense that is behind this little outburst from Kamikaze Ninja.
You’re the only one who is glad you weren’t here.
*squeeze*
Eeep, would I have been dining on testicles for a few days? I guess I have been known to rip a few off when my hackles are raised, especially by ignorance.
*Hides nerf balls from Ry*
Who ya’ telling? Mine hurted whenever you pulled on ‘em the not-good-way.
Hey, I came back a kinder, gentler Ryannon. (especially since one particular person’s absence is greatly appreciated)
Still, I will continue to wear my jockstrap when you’re around.
You need to find me on facebook!
*snickers*
Is that some sort of “let’s drag Arthur onto Facebook” conspiracy?
Careful AE… That leaves certain other parts exposed to Judy’s ET finger…
Resistance is futile, Arthur…
Yes. Become one of us. One of us. One of us.
No one has found me.
No-one has found me on facebook either.
*raises eyebrow*
Is there a way to find you? I’m hidden…for reasons I shall not disclose at this time…
Are any of you in the Failblog groups on Facebook? I think there are three of them…
If you can find who recently befriended Granny and Fluffy, you will find me
I tried to find myself on myspace once and couldn’t. *shrugs*
I know who Fluffy is, but not Granny…
Hmm… I friended you, Ry. I’ll have to rummage through your friends for Granny.
k@, do a search on Dragon, and you’ll find most of us. I have my old avatar as my profile pic.
Eh? I thought I could blame you for my behaviour?
That’s not fair, best get them aplogy letters written
O my word.
Now, that’s an entirely different story.
*ticklesqueeze*
*gigglesqueeze*
I am aware that he has made many terrible remarks. However, it all happened during/after my short absence from failblog. I am not trying to bail 5eags out, as he should explain himself, but simply taking the blame for starting all this.
Hey Ninja… I don’t remember the horrible things you done, but I promise you that you did not start whatever horrible stuff you’re talking about. There always were and always will be trolls. Some more horrible than others. 5Eagles is responsible for his own actions. He’s been called out on them many times but refuses to learn or apologize. Instead he goes on attack and blames everyone else. You should not take responsibility for anyone’s actions but your own.
You might remember me if I remind you of my former name before I changed it…for the better. I was Halifax180, and was one of 5eagle’s friends here, and I thought that maybe I negatively influenced him or something. If you don’t remember me or my stupid words back then that you especially took to offense, leading to my inmature lashing out, then it is for the better.
and if you get lonely you could cut off his head and call him WIlson!
*squeeze*
*squeeze!* never alone when there’s marshmallows about!
Pity it wasn’t a dessert island.
banana split?
Why? Did he try and put it on?
he tried to eat it and it ran away
Have you seen my reply to you up there^?
I did yes, thanks. I’m not really sure what to think though.
based on logistics alone i’d say this is a win.
Passenger next to you doubles as flotation device.
You can see from his expression that he is weighing up that exact possibility.
roll him in flour to find the tube for extra inflation if required
What if he has diarrhea?.
I’m not sure he would notice
:ick:
Don’t airlines make people at his weight buy two seats? and if he has to pay for 2, shouldn’t he get two?
Actually, he had to pay for the aisle.
All three seats behind him are empty. Perhaps he bought a whole row, but moved one up to be that bit closer to the front of the food queue.
He’s chatting up the guy he spotted in the row before him.
Well, of course the airline cannot make him buy 2 seats. That would be DISCRIMINATION!
And for the exceptionally bright on this board: [/Sarcasm]
I feel sorry for him.
me too
No! Just no! He didn’t wake up one morning like that. He worked f’in hard to end up so unrecognisably human. If anything, congratulate him. But do not feel sorry for him.
I’m sure he’s real happy with his appearance.
You’re an early bird!
Here, have a worm.
*passes*
I had to get up early so I could be ready to leave for my road trip. Mama Bird managed to oversleep!!!! So now I’ve got some free time.
Ummmm….. will it horribly offend you if I pass on the worm? It’s a little early for tequila!
I didn’t say anything about tequila. But okay, forget about the worm, I mean, it just took all day digging in the garden to find a worm which I considered to be good enough for you. Nonononono, don’t worry about ME. As long as you don’t want a worm that I digged out with my bare hands outside in the cold rain while the sun was burning my skin – YOU DON’T HAVE TO!
*wonders how AE got soaked with a cold rain and scorched by the sun at the same time*
Did somebody leave the sprinkler system on while you were digging?
It was also snowing, pah snowing, it was a blizzard and landmines where EVERYWHERE in that garden!
You must live near where my grandfather grew up. Did you walk to school in the snow, uphill both ways, barefoot, while carrying your little brother on your back?
Walk? I wish! I had to crawl.
Oh? I think I heard stories about you. Did you have to carry all three of your younger siblings and the neighbor kid?
I only feel sorry for the poor bugger who has to sit beside him.
People that fat only have themselves to blame. The vanishingly small percentage who actually have some genuine problem (there is no such thing as a ’slow metabolism’ – so you can shove that excuse) should go see a shrink and get their heads fixed. The rest can simply stop shovelling all that sugary crap into their gob and take some exercise. It’ll soon come off.
Should have made the rotund one buy two seats. And I do hope they charged him extra for his bulk.
Maybe they can’t afford the shrink.
Maybe it’s a thyroid issue (as in, not just a slow metabolisim).
And I can guarantee he paid extra for his size and weight.
And I think the look on the face of the guy next to him shows the question of “can I have the isle seat?”
I think it’s more like “WHY ME?!?!?”
Ah, okay… There are days when I haven’t even gotten out of bed yet and the “Why Me?” is already ringing through the caffeineless depths of my sleep fogged brain.
Scientists in recent years have realized that the profile of bacteria in our digestive systems plays a significant role in our weight. Their are trillions of bacteria in our body (in number, in fact, there are more bacterial cells in a human body than there are human cells). Persons with more efficient bacteria have a more difficult time losing weight; more efficient bacteria break down more of the nutrients in the foods we ingest, making a greater percentage of the foods we eat available to the body for absorption.
For more information, google “bacteria obesity.” Here’s one article on the issue:
ht tp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/20/AR2006122001271.html
My bacterias must be manufactured in China.
Fatties might have “bacteria obesity,” you say? Do they get that from eating 2 full buckets of KFC Extra Crispy for lunch?
Hypothyroidism, read on it you failed troll. I’m not stating is an excuse to be that huge, but altered metabolism-based issues do exist. Read a book.
No matter what your metabolism is, if you have a metabolism of a 90 year old, or of a 14 year old, in order to get and stay fat you still have to consume more calories than you burn each day. There is no way around that simple fact. Every fat person out there is consuming too many calories compared to how many calories their body is actually burning.
If you have a slow metabolism or some other excuse, then you have to eat less than you would otherwise. The problem is when you have a slow metabolism and zero self control, that’s how you get 450LB.
How dare someone would enjoy the same things I enjoy in the same quantities. They’re so greedy.
Agree, he doesn’t deserve to be judged like this. But yeah a lot of people need to make fun of others to feel better themselves. Kind of pathetic really.
lol at the dude on his right. look at his expression
I know like he is saying “You are not sitting there duude”
Anyone who thinks that fat people should not be charged for the extra space they take up on a plane should be shown this picture. Preferable with “FAIL” still on it.
This.
I’ve often thought that airlines should impose a weight limit. Say 100kg (that includes you, your clothes, you hold and cabin baggage). Anything over that and you pay extra.
And this is why I always make sure the arm rest is down with my arms firmly planted on them. I’ve had to “share” my seat with somebody before, and it was not fun. I don’t want to sound mean to the guy in the picture, but the guy I ended up sharing my seat with was smaller than this guy.
people who laugh about something like this are scum. I bet he didn’t choose to be fat and has already more than enough problems.
I bet he did. He does it every time he shovels food into his pie-hole.
Being fat *IS* a choice.
You seem very angry. Go with what you feel, we understand.
He must have been abused by the obese when he was a child.
Probably kept stealing his food…
I’m not angry, I just don’t see the point in showing pity or sorrow for someone who has wilfully and deliberately self-inflicted these problems on themselves and then impose their problems on the rest of us.
Choices have consequences.
The guy should man-up, accept he made himself obese and pay for two seats.
First of all, you don’t know whether he paid more or not. Secondly there are illnesses which can cause obesity, as well as mental problems can cause eating disorders and you don’t know if one of these two things is the case or not. But you ARE very sure about your judgement. And aggressive.
My friend suffers from a genetic disorder which causes this, he eats less than me, he is also blind.
Mind you he likes to joke that his mother always told him doing that would make him go blind.
Actually – we DO know he didn’t pay extra – when you’re that big, and you pay extra, you’re given TWO tickets. You sit in TWO seats. You’re supposed to disclose when booking. IMO, he should have been kept off the flight. Not only is it dangerous, it’s against policy. I’m overweight, but I sure as heck am working on that. My MIL was not-quite-that big, and she had to buy 2 tix all the time. Fair is fair….she honestly wasn’t embarrassed, she actually preferred the double seat for comfort’s sake.
If he paid more he would have TWO eats!
But see, it doesn’t always work the way you seem to think it does. And that guy in the pic probably hasn’t had it as easy as the rest of us. You don’t get that big without there being some of problems. You just don’t.
I guess some people do. We just don’t know it for this guy. Minger does, though.
*snork*
I get the feeling he knows what’s best for everyone. At least, he THINKS he does.
It’s easy to criticize when sitting at a computer keyboard…guess he just knows…maybe he was on the plane with him…maybe…he’s the guy sitting next to him…
Or he is the guy…
This was aimed at Minger, as Arthur and I appear to agree.
Hahah that phrase seems very familiar.
Damn your good memory.
I’ve used that phrase for years mister. You think I wouldn’t notice it?
You probably think being gay is a choice too, you ignorant bigot.
yes he did choose to be fat – he chooses every time he eats a baby.
Tea came out of my nose at that comment! Very funny.
No matter what his medical issues/excuses might be, he still has to consume more calories than his body burns to get that big and stay that way. I’m not laughing at him, because it isn’t funny what he is doing to the rest of the passengers.
I bet his eating habits also have got him state disability payments coming out of my pay check, and a handicap parking tag so he is rewarded with better parking at the grocery store so he may more easily load the massive amount of food into his car.
At least this one WONT bring out the ‘I wanna fu*k em’ trolls, hey Arthur???!!!
You know the saying which start with “if it exists…”? So I wouldn’t rely on that.
Chubby chaser?
Feeders and Eaters.
It scares me that you even know about that. I just watched a Bones episode about that last week.
not really much actual chasing involved though is there?
*runs around the fat person and then jumps on them!*
It’s like hunting. Lure it with food but instead of trapping and skinning it, you have unbridled passionate sex with it.
Errr… then where’s the difference to hunting?
you don’t pose in pictures with it after, in case your friends see *squeeze*
Uh-oh.
*squeeze*
*off to delete some pics*
The phrases that get moderated are ridiculous by the way.
Lay a trail of sweeties on the floor, then when they b e n d over, do what Granny does best.
Tie a knot in it’s cherry stem?
I was thinking more along the lines of knitting.
Why is it that right after I saw 2012, the fail is about crowded spaces?
Why does Weird Al Yankovic’s song “Fat” come to mind?
That’s a 12 hour flight too. From America to America, via America
SUrely this doode should be charged green fuel tax since it takes more fuel to haul his ass through the sky
Official, fat doodes are hazardous to the environment
Exploding Man!!!
Where’s the obligatory “Obviously Photoshopped” comment?
i just feel bad for him
10% of people ENJOY being anally probed by an armrest.
Come on guys, this isn’t Fail. I’m surprised Failblog put it up. This is some asshole’s attempt at being funny
Fat man in a little plane.
Brings the whole “snakes on a plane” into perspective. I fly a lot and I have been placed next to a person similar in size more than once. It is not comfortable when they overflow into your seat.
It must have been a mix up with his booking. I can’t believe they would let anyone sit like that for the entire flight!
I don’t think people are completely forthright when booking flights and admitting they may need two seats. And the seatbelt extender doesn’t quite fit.
“Sir, I am going to have to ask you to place your baggage in the over head bin. If it will not fit, I am going to have to ask you to check it.”
Ugh there are so many people that knowingly bring a bag that should be checked onto the plane so they gate check it and don’t have to pay the money to check it. Then it holds everything up. And there are things at the airport that you can verify your suitcase will fit. I check my bags, I can’t be bothered with more than my purse and my laptop case.
Ever since they started charging for baggage I have notice this is a lot worse now than before.
Funny store I was traveling for business. I was going to be work about a week in a power plant, so with clothes and safety protection my bag was easily over 50 lbs. It cost me more to take luggage than it did my plane ticket. But what do I care my company pays for it.
Huh? Sorry, I wasn’t listening. Can you repeat that?
I know our airport here in Indiana will make you check it at security if they think it’s too big to be stowed safely once you get to the plane.
Ever since they started chargin for baggage I have notice this is a lot worse now than before.

Wow, someone was late to the party!
There was a part??? *kicks dirt and mutters about never getting invited to the parties*
I’ll show you my part if you show me yours.
*opens trench coat and shows the marshmallow muffie her part*
My company pays for the baggage charges but if I fly Continental, I don’t pay for the checked baggage since I have elite status. I always have to fly a day earlier than everyone else and leave a day later so at least 2 days worth of clothes. It’s the least they could do for putting me in the middle of podunk Arkansas. They also pay for Baxter going to the kennel
*wonders why Ryannon’s boyfriend is kenneled while she’s away on business trips*
All men are dogs, don’t you know that?
I thought all men were pigs… How can man be man’s best friend…
don’t answer that.
Mark Mangino?
This looks like a Continental flight. What they will do is wait for everyone to finally get to their seats and luggage stowed and then will find the empty seats and see if people would be willing to trade places so he can have two seats together. I have seen them do this before and I have had to experience someone like this sitting next to me when they can’t get two side by side seats together.
I was on a flight from Pittsburgh to Dallas and there were two men this size and they put them in the back of the plane. One was put in the last row that only had two seats and he got the row to himself. The other was put in the row in front of him and I had the window seat and he had the middle and aisle seat. The guy in the back got up and wound up passing out and we were blocked in the seat for the rest of the flight because they couldn’t get him out of the aisle and he would pass back out every time he stood up. The thud and shudder when he fell was enough to make them stop trying. He just laid there the rest of the flight.
When we landed everyone but us in the back got off and we had to wait until paramedics could get him off. Needless to say, I missed my connecting flight but he wound up being okay, his sugar was really low. He was supposed to go on to Mexico but that was canceled.
And it’s times like what you just described that I’m glad everybody was okay and I don’t even worry about whether or not I’m going to make a connecting flight. Thank you for including that he was okay.
Oh my missed flight wasn’t my concern. He was a very nice man with a very nice, concerned family and we were all concerned for him. Because of where I live, I always have to fly into my destination the day before because it is an all day event for me. We all shared information so we could make sure he was okay. I am still in touch with his daughter that was on the flight with us. He is still doing good and has lost a significant amount of weight, as has the man in my row. I think this was a HUGE wakeup call for both.
Yeah. I know some of my family (my grandfather in particular) have had some similar wake-up calls and are very specific about getting exercise and eating in moderation (it isn’t always what you eat, but how much of it you eat).
When you eat can be important too. It all depends on your body.
Very true. I watched a TV special about Sumo wrestlers and their training process. Part of the process is to eat lots of carbs and then sleep for an hour or so to build up the “correct” type of fat that gets them big for wrestling.
Why does it look like a Continental flight? Except for the seats are the wrong design for Continental, their single aisle aircraft have different overheads, and none of Continental’s planes have CRTs in the aisle, I agree it’s looks like Continental. Everything matches except the stuff in the picture.
Oh blow it out your patootie. I was just on Continental last week and the plane was set up just like this.
his presence poses a safety risk to others on the plane
evacuation routes are blocked by his body mass
this should be contained in the two seats nearest the window
And nobody answered how he got through the Jetway yet…
Crisco probably, or vegetable oil, lots of vegetable oil.
That’s probably what got him into this mess in the first place.
Don’t be ignorant. While it is de rigueur to mock the obese, you are just being ridiculous with comments like that. Is he unhealthy? Yes. Does he pose a safety risk for any and all on the flight? Possibly. Should he do something about it? Yes. Are you retarded? I believe so.
“This is your captain speaking. If the plane were to ditch in the ocean, one of our passengers has graciously offered to be the life raft…”
“Please remove high-heels before boarding the life raft, and keep a firm hold on any small children for ’safety reasons’.”
yeeish, check that fat bastard into the cargo hold
“A person of size”, they’re called.
How can anyone allow themselves to be that obese? Yikes……
People don’t get that obese for fun, darling. If it was easy to be slim, we wouldn’t have any fat people. Quitting smoking is easier (after all, we all know quitting right out is the easiest way to stop, but you can’t actually quit eating right out, cos then you die).
DEFERRED SUCCESS!!
You win.
This is amazing! I can’t believe that they would actually let him fly like that.
This guy is the biggest internet loser I know!
Omg, omg, I need to go to the toilet, please move!!
You’re all idiots. From the looks of things, he probably has that “empty” row behind him to himself, taking the two seats he needs to travel safely. He’s probably just perched on the aisle seat in front chatting with his friend sitting in the middle seat while the plane is boarding or de-boarding (notice how the overhead compartments are open and people are accessing them?). Do you REALLY think an airline is going to allow someone to block the aisle like that during a flight?
Aaah, another all-knowing entity. Pray tell, where did the two meet for the first time? Is it true that one of them was banging the other one’s wife?
I’m betting this picture is at least 10 years old. When this was not such a big deal.
I see no door nearby. By my estimate, he wouldn’t fit down the aisle, so how did he get to that seat?
Very carefully.
I would assume he walked sideways.
I don’t know, I’m sort of not okay with this. Failblog is about making fun of people for doing something silly, and often those people are the ones who capture the video or picture. I don’t think it is okay to publicly mock someone for just living their life. Perhaps that’s just my feeling. Okay now flamers, flame away and start mocking everything I just wrote.
Do we have to?
Yeah, it’s a bit early in the morning… can it wait ’till after I’ve had my second cup of coffee?
I would rather not mock what he said, ’cause I think he does have a point.
(I do to, I was just trying to be silly
)
too*
*facepalm*
Of course he has a point. But I don’t think it’s a simple case of an enormous man “just living (his) life.” A man that size in a seat of lesser size is just plain funny. …
I agree with this. It is not funny when it’s about personal pain.
yah me too, people shouldn’t make fun of fat people. He could be reading the comments on this picture right now for all we know.
I’m all for living your life the way you want to, until it puts a burden with how I live my life.
Getting up to use the rest room on that plane for example… how the hell am I supposed to get past that guy? Now he’s stopping me from living my life just so he can have his large pizza all to himself each night. The guy really is selfish for putting the rest of the passengers into a situation where he is forcing them to accommodate him.
People that put their own choices on you like this deserve ridicule. Its the only thing that might get them to wakeup.
And we all know he is looking at this very blog reading what you have to say about it. And again, all of you are missing the point that he is not seated, this has not taken off and this is not his final position in the plane.
Good God, I hope he’s not reading this very blog and what people have to say about him. No one deserves this kind of schoolyard bullshit, no matter their size.
Thank you. There’s enough bigotry in the world without it creeping in to fail blog. This was disappointing to see here. (I also expect to be roundly mocked, but whatever.) Nothing this man has done deserves being put up here for speculation and ridicule.
Gives a different meaning to gluteus maximus.
Heard the expression “fat of the land?” Well this is “fat of the air.”
Fat of the sea, up next?
that will be a tough detour to go around.. XD
That’s where all the pies went!! lol
Is that Coach Mangino? Ya know, the coach from Kansas football? Fat sack of crap
That is not cool, he should be charged for 2 seats regardless if he wanted to or not. There is no excuse for being that fat. If he was unwilling to pay for 2 seats then he should have been denied a ticket. If I was that guy next to him I would be getting a free upgrade to first class or a free ticket for putting up with that.
fat people could be used be terrroist some put bomb in them nobody notice scary
Poor guy. Airline seats are not big enough for anyone these days. Even 5′7 and 170 as someone suggested above would be a squeeze in the seats in this photo.
The look on the face of the guy next to him is priceless.
photoshop
No, aeroplane.
*snork*
That tickled me!
While it may be compassionate to give people a free pass about being obese (or in this case, morbidly so), i have to point out that this man has obviously been comsuming more calories per day than he has been using, and for quite a long time.
Yes, some people have legitimate health problems that cause them to have a hard time losing weight. But there are far less legit health problems out there than there are people like this. It’s very easy to say, “oh, i have a thyroid problem”. Hypothyroidism is a serious med condition with many effects on the body, but strangely it only seems to make most people who “have it” fat–and unable to identify any other symptoms. Auburn U. study estimates about 3% of the population is hypothyroidic.
Now there are a lot of body styles out there, and it’s been shown that weight does not necessarily correspond to health. What does correspond to health is one’s activity level. And maybe i’m a jerk (ok, i know i’m a jerk), but something tells me that Tubbs McTwoseater here will be huffing and puffing by the time he gets into the terminal, and he avoids stairs like the plague.
Just saying.
They don’t diagnose hypothyroidism by your weight, they take a blood test and see how much TSH (Thyroid Stimulation Hormone) your body is producing, if it produces too much in response to an underactive or inactive thyroid, that’s how they know. I am a large person. In high school, I was not, I had an OVER-active thyroid which kept me thin, at times unhealthily so. I had a procedure to correct that which went wrong, and now my thyroid doesn’t work at all. I went from 6′2″ and about 200 lbs to 400 lbs…I don’t over eat, I don’t have “a whole pizza to myself every night” like one poster said. I am not a marathon runner, but I walk and have a fairly active job in an auto shop, lifting tires etc. It burns me up that it’s so ok to make fun of people like me. I’m a human being, and I don’t choose to be the way I am.
My point is that many people blame a “bad thyroid” for being overweight, without any idea what that condition actually entails. I would think people who **actually had** a medical condition like this would be irritated by people who claim it for the sake of expedience.
No way that’s real. That’s a United plane, and the flight attendants would never let him sit on the armrest or without a seat belt extender. Not to mention blocking the aisle. The window seat appears empty too. If you were the guy in the middle would you really not scoot over?
You noticed so many little details but neglected to see the people still boarding and the open overhead storage compartments. So close yet so far.
Ummm…I just spent over 48 hours on United planes (and have a super mega huge pile of UA FF miles), and that is NOT a United plane. Wrong seat material pattern, for one. The dude(tte) in the window seat is reading a paper…see it…???
I wonder if thats Coach Mangino.
Same thing I thought!!! it has to be
gooofff
i did your mom and sister!!!!
ur next on the list
This is really sad. I have a friend who is over 400 lbs. He doesn’t want to be, and he’s doing everything he can about it. Making fun of big people is really childish.
I also question this pic. He would be required to be in a set with the belt fastened for take-off, which doesn’t look possible.
Did you read the other posts on here?
How about starting by consuming less calories than your body burns? Its really simple physics.
It’s really not as easy as it sounds. You can’t just say ‘oh, well, I’ll consume fewer calories!’ and the weight melts off and stays off. There are very real and documented mental issues and medical issues that can cause this kind of weight gain REGARDLESS of calorie intake.
Yes, there are people who eat 5000 calories a day, but you have no idea whether this particular person is like that. All the judgment here is just sick and wrong.
How many of the obese actually have that disease? I call bullshit and excuses and fat lazyness!
Which one? Thyroid issues, well, probably fewer than claim to – but don’t pretend that just because someone is thin that they aren’t just as lazy, I’ve known plenty of people who are teensy even though they eat like football players and never exercise, just because their metabolisms are high enough to process it.
But the mental issues? Quite a lot of people suffer weight gain because of this.
Being overweight causes depression, which causes people to overeat and gain more weight – anti-depressants and a lot of other medications also cause weight gain. Usually not to the extent of being 450+ lbs, but depression can certainly do that to a person.
And mocking someone for their health, regardless of how they got that way, is just cruel. They suffer enough for it.
Your name is Roscoe, your argument is invalid. Go back to your trailer and boff your sister now.
This is so sad, poor guy.
Why is there a jet in that plane…..oh wait my bad
Just in case anyone wants a reasonable answer:
There are two ‘free’ seats behind him, it’s perfectly reasonable to assume he has bought two (Fat people can do that on some airlines, or have to rather) and that is where he is sitting. He might be merely having a chat with the other guy.
See large argument above (no pun intended).
I am a big man – 6′10″ tall, and on the declining side of 400lbs like this guy, that being said , I feel for this guy. I can squeeze into the seats, but i prefer to buy 2 if possible just to have some extra room, especially knee room once the guy in front decides to recline his seat.
Looks like they’re about to have a flight delay…since getting off the ground might be an issue
Typical American average guy.
He really looks like someone I know, from the back anyway..
That is the most cringe inducing safety hazards I’ve seen in a while…
He makes Andre look like a baby! Hope the big fella don’t fart!
I swear, I SWEAR this has to be my roommate. It looks just like him and he always wears an outfit that looks just like that. Do I dare show it to him? And in his case, yeah it would never be easy for him to be thin, he does have health problems, but he doesn’t put in much of an effort towards dieting.
Oh, who am I kidding? He eats Pringles and ice cream and eats pasta every single night plus a couple big pieces of chicken. That man does not know what a vegetable is and he is LAZY. He smells and he doesn’t clean a thing.
I can’t wait to move.
Funny, he looks an awful lot like my old roommate. If it’s the same guy, I feel sorry for you.
That has gotta be a saftey violation of some kind….
fat people should be required to buy 2 seats!
What the f***
imagine the continuous horror of the person who will sit behind him the entire flight , coz tbh it looks like the seat would break at any second Oo
…..and to think of the extra cash I have to hand over if my baggage is a few kilos over the limit….
I wonder if you stuck a wick in him how long he would burn.
OK:
I did not read the thread.
However, this simple picture affected me SO MUCH I have to share my thoughts.
This could be long, so grab some popcorn and a drink.
I am a BIG WOMAN.
I am all for big people rights. I think that people who spend too much time thinking about other people’s fat need to see a therapist. I do not understand why Other People’s Fat is such a Big Issue. You people whoangrily rail against fatties need to examine yourselves.
Howsummebbur:
I have a few things I want to share with the world.
DEAR FELLOW FATTIES:
1. You do not have the right to CRUSH people’s flesh.
2. When you are at a buffet, take your share and do not HOG the food.
3. The fashion industry is in it like everyone else, to make money. There are not that many 26Ws. Get over it.
I am so sick of hearing sob stories about small seats, etc.
Guess what? I weigh THREE HUNDRED POUNDS. (I’m 5′6″ , so no, I am not “big boned…or TALL” ) About a year or two ago, I flew to see my son graduate from the AirForce. I was able to jusssst squeeze into my seat (surprise!) and I did ask for a seat belt extension which I was given free. This tells me that a pretty fat person can fly.
The airline seat is not endless, dammit. How big do they have to be? Big enough for 350? 400? Every seat? They fit me. I am a real fat@$$. If they made every seat for a 500 pound person, how much would they have to charge?
There needs to be a cutoff somewhere.
We just keep getting fatter and fatter and fatter.
So, in conclusion, I have two things to say”
1. YOU are responsible for your own fatness.
2. OTHER people’s fat is none of your damned business.
Thank you very much.
/i smell a parfait….
//trots off
Well said. As a fellow Big Woman I agree about the dress sizes, etc. But we should all still try to cut down. I have personally lost 20 kilograms this year from being on the recession diet and not being able to afford junk food and chocolates. I have not exercised or consciously tried to diet, only cut out the junk. People who have never been badly overweight will never understand how difficult it is for the obese and should keep their mouths shut. yes, we are big, yes, a lot of us look like wal-creatures but being rude just makes us want to eat more.
Well fat people is of my concern, not only when invading my personal space but invading society. How much more then a healthy person do you cost the taxpayers? Why am I only allowed to bring 25 kilos when I fly when I could easily bring 40 some years ago? Why should I pay the same price for a busticket as a fat person when the fat person clearly costs more in fuel to transport, not to mention the tear on bearings and the tires etc. Why do I have to wait several months to get an appointment at the doctors just because the fat people constantly need care?
I can accept the fat people, I even know some nice ppl who are chubby, but you can’t say it’s not to my concern when I’m clearly paying for your flubber, with my time and money. If noone speaks up notthing will change and being fat will become ok and thus more people will get fat and destroy theirs and other peoples lifes…
You…you seriously think that the extra hundred, or even two hundred pounds from a guy like this makes a difference on a ten ton bus? Are you INSANE?
And I guarantee you that it’s not the fat people taking up the doctor – fat people avoid doctors, because anything that’s wrong is instantly a result of their weight, regardless of anything else. The people taking up time at the doctors’ offices are the neurotic mothers who think that their children need antibiotics every time they get the sniffles.
Believe me, no one in this country thinks being fat is okay – least of all the fat people. But it’s not as easy as it sounds to lose weight – especially when you’ve let yourself get that big. When you need to lose 200 lbs, it sounds impossible and like something that isn’t even worth trying.
Oh, Roscoe, I understand your issues and can even extrapolate and imagine some more valid ones.
I guess I was referring to more of a general visceral disgust and hatred that many people have toward fatties simply for their fatness, not for certain issues. I believe that there is a lot of this, and those people have some rage issues that require examination.
If three chins doesn’t turn you on, fine, but if it makes you stabby, simply from a esthetic point, there are issues to be examined.
Your attitude doesn’t seem exam-needing.
And thanks everybody, for not ripping me a new anal orifice when I needed to vent.
Ha ha. A fat guy. See, it’s funny because he’s fat. You can not believe how much I am laughing right now. Ah ha ha ha ha. Fat people.
Well, he should have gotten two plane tickets for himself.
Well you see other peoples fat ARE of your damned business when it becomes a saftey concerne or intrudes on your personal space, which it obviously does in this case!:)
I too find it daft to complain about airplane seats being small.
I’m 6′6″ 220 lbs and very fit, sure the legroom isn’t the greatest but nothing worth complaining about!
I certainly think people who are this big (from mistreating their own body) should have to book two seats and pay for them.
It is not fair that the airline should lose money just becasue someone likes to stuff their face, nor is it fair that the other passengers should have their personal space invaded by flubber!:)
I’m sure most people would love too seats, if we were to pay the same fee well then anyone could demand it.
Im 6′4″ and I agree.
It isnt always their fault they are fat but some other person who has to sit next to them shouldnt have to pay the price.
“nor is it fair that the other passengers should have their personal space invaded by flubber!:) ” THANK YOU!!! …For the best comment I’ve read this week.
Two ton tankers like that should pay for two seats.
And I haven’t been on an airplane for almost 20 years.
That’s coming from a guy who is 6 feet 4 inches and weighs 320 pounds.
OMG! I was shocked as I saw the man inside the plane. I can’t believe his obesity. I think heart disease would attack him.
Who the hell puts CRT TVs on planes these days?
Ahahahaha he cant fit in XD
fat bastard is NOT dead sexy
I guess I thought Mangino would fly first class…
American Airlines Boeing 757. the plane pictured is about 15 yrs old
There allowed to boot fatasses now, right? Or at least force them to buy two seats? Cause you don’t get much more unsafe than that.
EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME, Exxxxxx *pfff* uh… CUSE ME! HEY, DONT TOUCH MAH BUTT, SRSLY.. Ah, I’m there..
STEWARDESS? Why is there only one half of a seat? O.o
Buy two seats fatass. I got stuck ext to a cow like this on a flight once.
This plain can never lift off, because this guy will never be able to adhere to regulations and put on his seat belt
Well, He needs two seat belts, one for each leg xD
I seriously laughed so hard at this… Oh and look at the guy next to him! Doesn’t seem to be too happy about getting that seat…
OMG… If he rolled over a couple of times he would probably get to his destination before the plane….
Maybe he’s on his way to the “biggest loser” audition………
Yarghh, a genuine land whale! Man the harpoons! (I bet I’m like he 9001st person to comment that, but I couldn’t stop myself. XD)
any paying a.net member reading this should be ashamed of yourself. go get a life
BOOMER!
There is a level of fat that is time management, genetics, health problems, and then there is just too fat to ever be excused. This is that.
wow, I know this guy, he’s actually a good friend of mine.
I’ve always wondered when I would see him somewhere online, from someone making fun of him. But failblog?! that’s better than I expected.
how could the plane fly anyway???
Thats awesome !
shit, I feel sorry for the person who has to sit in that seat on the next flight. imagine it, what’s left on the seat? and they have to touch the arm rest that went up his butt!
Wow, a lot of you on here are really cruel. You don’t think this guy gets laughed at enough? You need to put his photo online to make more people laugh at him? Everyone has issues to some extent, it doesn’t matter who you are. If this guy was an alcholic, drug addict, sex addict, anorexic, etc., you wouldnt’ be laughing. Overeating is no different, it’s just very visible to those around. Since about half of adult Americans are overweight to some degree, I’m willing to bet some of you “holier than thou” posters are also overweight. Get off your high horse and admit that no one exempt from having issues.
WEEl CL3@R$ELY 1 H@$ N0 1$$U3$. /sarcasm
Isnt there always this cart passing thru that barely fits, with drinks n stuff?
I wonder how the solved that.
There isn’t any problem… He is at the center… Two carts for each half… And he plays the role of the trashcan by eating and drinking whatever is left when the cart is infront of him…Lucky man seriously
@NotACruelPerson – want me to call the WAAAAMublance? Or get you some nice crackers to go with that whine?
My question is why so many freaking people are talking about what type of plane it is? regardless that armrest is headed more and more into the ether as each minute goes by
I fail to see the part where I whined?
People that…*large*…should seriously have to pay for two seats. That’s not fair for anyone.
I agree.
Well, look at the bright side.
He will ALWAYS be able to successfully stop the drink and food cart to get his order.
Looks like University of Kansas head football coach Mark Mangino to me….lol
Great, I’m sure I’ll be sitting next to that guy on his flight home.
Just think, if the plane went down, he could cushion the impact
He HAS to squeeze in the aisle seat. If he took up the row behind him the plane would be lop-sided and unable to fly.
Don’t you have any shame? Really… Posting pictures of fat people on the internet, how mature is that?
It’s suposed to be about fails, not about being mean to people.
FAILBlog failed.
Sadly, bigotry against overweight people is the only remaining socially acceptable form of discrimination. You’ll get in trouble for denigrating someone’s religion, race, handicap, or sexual orientation, but not their size (which in the overwhelming majority of cases is completely beyond any control of their own). But it’s apparently fair game to arbitrarily label them as subhuman drains on society.
“which in the overwhelming majority of cases is completely beyond any control of their own”
I hope you don’t really believe this.
Comparing someone’s race, sexuality, or handicap to being morbidly obese is the stuff of FAIL.
Might as well condemn the guy for having thinning hair, while we’re at it. I mean, that’s obviously his own fault as well, right? Should we all be forced to look at his bald spot?
It is true that people are being cruel here but this is definitely unacceptable. I doubt the flight even took off like this.. no flight attendant would allow him to fly without a seatbelt and obstruct the aisle like. Gotta be against FAA regulations. He must have known this would have happened, and would have been forced by the airline to purchase additional seats. Although why he was not caught before this point I don’t know.
yeah i saw a plane yestorday and thought something was wrong with it. the back wasnt straight like the front it was tilted back. Now i know why.
Yeah, what an idiot! Why did he decide to make himself so fat?
This man is an inconsiderate asshole. People that big should be forced to buy an extra seat if one is available, or wait for the next flight because this is rediculus. Think how uncomfortable the man next to him is, or what if the man next to him wants to go pee?
also, what about the unsuspecting persone that sists in that seat on the next flight that has to rest their arm on that armrest after it emerges from his ass?
And i have to pay for extra baggage…fs.
p.s. do you think the choice of seat(s) was a clever ploy? This way the food cart cant get past him XD.
I really never got the whole victim mentalty of obese people, nor the people who automatically feel sorry for them.
You don’t just become that obese by default, it’s a process of mistreating your body tremendously for years and years, it’s a choice.
People say its hard to stay slim, that is just not true.
Just eat properly and go for a walk once in a while really come on..:)
I don’t feel the least bit sorry for him, I would refuse to have him sit next to me intruding on my space and the saftey of me and the other passengers.
He has every right to stuff his face and be that obese as long as his own unhealty disgusting way of life doesn’t interfer with others.
Nor does he have the right to feel sorry for himself, since there is noone to blame but himself.
There are VERY few people who have illnesses that cause obesity, the vast majority are just suffering from unhealthy food/exercise habits I’m afraid.
It’s a lifestyle choice, you can see that obese people like him are much more common in the states and Canada then in Europe or Asia for instance.
I’ve lived in both Canada and the States, and I love it.
However one can’t deny that their (fast) food habits are sickening and some people can’t handle that and just stuff their faces like this guy.
My wife’s Canadian, we are the same age.
My parents and hers are all in their late 50’s.
Mine are still very active, work fulltime, travel and work out frequently.
Hers are in about the same health as my grandparents, both have diabetes already and a hard time moving around cause of their weight.
Um, actually recent genetics research (studying humans, not mice) has shown that weight is 75 to 85 percent due to your chromosomal make-up: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/256/1/51
So, rather than blast others, why can’t you just be thankful for your good genes?
did that plane ever take off? If it did would it lean to one side?
Coulnt he effort to book two seats?
He could get double meals then
BOOMER!
Don’t you all have anything better to do than argue on who is better on recognizing a plane or criticize fat people. Go read a good book and try to learn something. I hope in a few year you’ll be all fatter that the guy you are making fun of ,so you will see how it is to be on the other side of the fence!
I agree with you wholeheartedly! With obesity statistics in mind, I would venture that the majority of the people making these vicious comments have a few pounds to lose themselves. No one wants to be fat, so why does everyone feel the need to be so nasty to this man they don’t even know?
i dont care what you say… the guy sitting next to him thinks it is a long flight!
All those who said American Airlines is right. Now the stewardess who took the picture may be in trouble.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6671018/Obese-air-passenger-in-economy-seat-has-picture-taken.html
I hope u all end up fatter than him…
The good news is that if the plane crashes the other passengers can use him as a soft landing pad or a flotation device.
BOOMER!!!!!!!!!!
BOOMER!! BACK TO SAFE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He got an isle seat, so that he doesn’t take 2 seats and keep the plane in balance.
I find this picture more disturbing then funny…
A woman (who resembles this man) nearly crushed my foot when she accidentally stepped on it.
Oh, and I couldn’t help but read some of the above comments.
First of all, loosing weight sometimes depends on your current weight.
If you look like the man in this picture, then it might be difficult to lose all that weight that was gained. However, if you’re a little overweight loosing weight CAN be as simple as exercise and watching what you eat. When I was 11, I was once a little heavy, but I just started doing walks and not eating fast foods and sweets; within a few months I lost quite a bit of weight.
And second, for some people, others weight IS our concern.
I try and help my friends and sister maintain a healthy weight. Why? Because I’m concerned about their health- it’s a shame that we humans fight to live longer lives, yet our bodies can destroy themselves because of food and disease and we only seem to be getting heavier and heavier.
That, and I lost a few family members due to health problems caused by obesity.
It doesnt matter that hes blocking the food cart because there wont be any food left to pass out once he gets his meal.
The large woman @300# weighs what a woman I know weighed AFTER losing 175# in six months on a medically supervised diet, including lots of “cheating”. Her brother now weighs about 475#, too, about 200# more than when I met him 25 years ago. They’re both short.
They both use “depression” as an excuse, but isn’t it interesting how consuming fewer calories than you use can result in a #175 loss in six months? Something about matter not being created or destroyed.
And every morbidly obese person I know has knee problems, which never seem to be the result of them being expected to carry an extra 100-300#.
At 6′7″, I’m hardly little, but even when I was 350# due to water retention, I took size 42 Levis. I also could barely walk without being out of breath.
Finally, the reason many fat people have bad hygiene is two-fold. There’s more area to clean, and any movement is quickly tiring.
Hint: when you can no longer reach to wipe, it’s not because your arms have gotten too short.
WOW! that green shirt looks nice.
‘Sir, I’m not going to say it again. If you want another diet soda you are going to have to let me get to the kitchenette in the back of the plane’!
This is photoshopped, and it is obvious. You can tell by looking at the top of the fat man’s seat, you can see where they tried to blend it together. Still quite funny though.
This is awful. I feel so bad, it’s not right.
Are they even allowed to fly with that guy sitting like that? What if they have to evacuate? This must be against regulations! If I was sitting next to him I would stop the plane from taking off!
Ok, I’ve read this thread in its entirety, and I’ll have to say that I’m very disappointed.
First of all, nobody here actually knows how the big guy in the pic ended up that way. Some possible examples have already been listed in this thread, so I won’t waste the time or bandwidth listing them again, but, yes, there are many ways a person can get fat that are entirely beyond his/her control. However, the guy could have also taken steps to minimize the effects of whatever health problem he may or may not have (i.e., seeing a doctor). With some changes in his lifestyle, he could very well have not ended up in this situation. Also, the fact the gate attendants apparently let him board the plane without making sure he had proper seating arrangements is another growing symptom of the disease commonly called “political correctness”. The photo and this thread commenting on the photo have more fails than break.com combined with a taste of meatspin.
The largest fail of all, however, is that until now, no one posting in this thread has thought to use the words “gravity”, “orbit”, or “planet” in any of their posts. How utterly sad.
Anybody else notice that the guy is like eight feet tall? He’s head and shoulders above everybody else around him…I think he’s big foot minus the hair.
