Vault Dweller
STUART, Fla. -- A dramatic rescue ended tragically in Stuart, Florida, a rescue so difficult firefighters say they have never seen anything like it.


It happened late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning at the home of a 600-pound woman who was having trouble breathing. Rescuers went in not knowing how difficult it would be to get her out. 40-year-old Gail Grinds was literally stuck to her couch and had to be removed surgically at the hospital.

Authorities estimate she had been on the couch anywhere from two to five years.

Martin County Fire amd Rescue crews faced what seemed to be an impossible mission. Everyone going inside had to wear protective gear. The stench was so powerful they had to blast in fresh air.

They tried to cut out the front door, but at four-and-a-half feet wide, it wouldn't work. They had to cut plywood since a normal stretcher wouldn't do.

An ambulance was too small, so they brought in a trailer to get her out. While rescue crews came up with a back-door rescue plan, detectives secured what had become a crime scene, questioning family members about how it got so bad.

Using planks, they loaded the woman on to the trailer, still attached to the couch. Removing her would be too painful, since her body is grafted to the fabric. After years of staying put, her skin has literally become one with the sofa and it must be surgically removed.

Detectives are investigating whether they have a case of neglect, or if it is simply a very sad story.

Grinds was taken to the Martin Memorial hospital where doctors removed her from the couch, but she died in spite of all the attempts to save her life.

No no, she didn't die, she just shed off her useless human form in the last stage of her metamorphosis into the world's first human/couch hybrid, mankind's next step on the evolutionary ladder.
 
:) Again, what a story Sovz.

I think Montez is right - it´s the obvious next step in evolution! A great deal of people are already glued to their sofas, why not truly be one with your sofa instead!!
 
Has anyone watched “Supersize Me”? its a movie about a guy who eats only McDonalds for a month, and lives to tell about it :lol:
 
Ehe. That guy is such a moron. "Oh look, I only eat fat McDonald's meals and now I've gained weight and a lot of problems."
No shit, Sherlock. McDonald's is bad for you, really?

By the way, recently a Dutch journalist made an interesting attempt to do what that guy did, only better. He tried to lose weight while eating only McDonald's food for a month. And he succeeded. In other words: McDonald's can be "good" for you, if you know what you order.
And do you know what the "Supersize Me" guy's response to this was?
"Well, your Dutch journalst should realise that a lot of people are now realising that McDonald's is bad for you, and they now think twice before ordering supersize. YOur Dutch journalist really needs to realise that."
Uh-huh. So you're basically telling us that all those Americans visiting McDonald's are morons, because they didn't know that fastfood was bad for you. Go you! YOu just made sure more morons will be able to reproduce themselves more frequently, thusly polluting the gene-pool. ;)
 
I’m quite sure that eating McDonalds and loosing weight is possible.
IF… you’ll eat only salads and have plenty of exercise and physical activity.

But, since I never ate McDonalds before, I can’t rally comment about it.

Smart thinking. Maybe some sort of backdoor plan would've gotten her buttocks loose again... :look:

Anyway: sad story, but I've heard similar stories. Stories about seriously fat people. Yep: American stories.
 
I don’t want you yanks to feel bad, so to show you’re not the most screwed up people on earth here's a story about a Romanian dude:


A Romanian man says he is decided to sell his penis because he needs money more than anything including having sex.

The 33-year-old man from Rovinari, Gorj county, who never met his parents, claims he needs financial support to take care of his younger brothers.

He said he doesn't really need his penis but knows somebody who does.

Constantin Dugulan told Gazeta de Sud newspaper: "I saw on TV that a doctor cut a patient's penis by mistake and I thought that man might be interested to buy mine. I am not sure this operation is possible but if it is I am ready to give up my penis for a better life."

The man said he was about to sell one of his kidneys and also an eye a few years ago but his client changed his mind.

now lets look at some facts:

Romania:

Population growth rate: -0.11% (2004 est.)
Birth rate: 10.69 births/1,000 population (2004 est.)
Death rate: 11.69 deaths/1,000 population (2004 est.)

Might as well sell them. It's not like Romanian penii are seeing much action, apparently.
 
*Sigh* When someone becomes immobile, you would assume that people would stop feeding them so much food.

On my way to school, I had to drive by a hospital, about once every fortnight, I would share the road with a special medical transport. This van was specially modified to carry a woman who must have weighed over five hundred pounds (she couldn't move under her own power). It really depressed me, what a waste of a human life.
 
Speaking of McDonald's...
...our food surplus

McDonald's, producer of the world's worst food that is still atable. McDonald's domesticates cows and sells them in little pieces. To make their offer look better, they also put onions on meat and some food that weird people refer to as salad. Even though their meals sound healthy, eating at McDonald's can be quite dangerous, since their coffee is so hot that it already burned down many people's skins. Those people got off lucky, however, since McDonald's had to pay them huge amounts of money that a normal person would never be able to earn by themselves. Therefore, communities were started whose only goal it was to sue McDonald's. After the communities got sued by McDonald's for the use of their name, they ceased to exist just like skin that is burned by hot coffee.
 
if she was left like she was, maybe she would've turned into the Master over time.

he was pretty much "grafted" into his overseer chair too :)
 
A: Fat pple that become immobile should be starved until they become mobile again.

B: Fat people who grow into a couch are just damned funny.

C: McDonalds is good, once a month at most and NOT supersized.

D: McDonalds salads are quite good, since Im to damn lazy to make my own salad execpt in a large batch that's meant to last a week.
 
You europeans don't realize that americans ARE idiots, and they act as such. Remember, this guy ate McDonald's because a man and his son sued McD's because they "got fat from eating McD's". WELL DUH. People really do eat crap, and like it. It's really a shame.

Well we eat McDonald's as well. We just don't go around whining and sueing McDOnald's because fast food makes us (read: other people than me) fat, we know it makes us fat. We also know that putting a cat in a microwave is a bad idea, and we know that if you spill hot coffee, it hurts. Which is why we don't sue all that much. ;)

Yes, I have hear some of these stories before. Australian TV had this disturbing doco about a very strange fetish. I did not know this behavior existed before, but it comes pretty close to evil and definitely to stupidity in my opinion. Humanity can really be screwed up.

Documentary: Fat Girls And Feeders


Friday, 2 April at 10.00pm

FAT GIRLS AND FEEDERS is a disturbing journey into the hidden world of fat eroticism screening on SBS Television on Friday, 2 April at 10.00pm.

Male ‘Fat Admirers’ love their women big…dangerously big. Double chins, cellulite, huge stomachs and wobbly thighs turn them on. For many fat women this is a wonderful release – after years of feeling ostracized by thin society and conventional notions of beauty they can finally find love.

But there is a dark side. Within this world of fat admiration are ‘Feeders’ – men who, for their own sexual pleasure, desire to make their women even fatter. Using emotional blackmail and covert feeding techniques they attempt to grow their women to enormous proportions. These ‘Feeders’ not only want to control their partner, they want to feel needed – which they certainly are because at 380kgs their woman is immobile.

“Feeders are a small and spectacular group who take pleasure in force-feeding or growing women,” explains commissioning editor Simon Andreae. “They reverse the usual patterns of sexual desire, but also display the patterns of power and submission you see across lots of relationships – not necessarily S&M ones – writ large.”

Gina was a chubby girl desperate for love. Mark was a hardcore Fat Admirer (FA) who had always fantasised about growing the ultimate fat woman. He succeeded. Mark documented Gina’s growth with photos and videos and encouraged his wife to get bigger. Gina just wanted to please her husband. While Gina struggled to get out of bed Mark got turned on. At 380kgs and on death’s door, Mark realised he’d gone too far and reluctantly agreed she could have weight loss surgery. He now has trouble coming to terms with his wife’s slimmer, 190kg body. After 17 years of marriage they are still together in Tuscon, Arizona.

“There is a strange pattern of collusion with many FA relationships, “ explains Andreae. “On one level the women seem to consent, but on another they are being emotionally bribed. Mark and Gina are a borderline case, though my view is that their relationship isn’t entirely honest.”

We meet Debbie, once a world famous Super Size model, until she met Ted. He covertly fed her until she was bed bound and a virtual prisoner in his house. When the police finally rescued her, she weighed 350kgs and was so big walls had to be demolished in order to get her out of the house.

no it aint...

most fat people keep on eating when they get things presented to them. the feeders love that and keep on feeding of course. as a result the girl/obese_monster dies.

arguably the girl is better off dead, but hey, everyone deserves a chance to live...
 
This all reminds me of the that scene in Se7en.

And of all the times I've seen morbidly obese people using freaking scooters to get around the aisles of Walmart cause either they're too lazy to walk or because they're physically not able to. Which brings me to another question: If they're too fat to walk, how'd they get to Walmart in the first place? Its requires at least a little bit of walking - house to car, car to walmart...and then they have to find the damn scooters in Walmart. I get so pissed why I see that. And the fact that Walmart supplies these things is even worse.

They should only be used by elderly people who are too frail to walk around all the time.
