Her skin fused with the couch fabric!!!

Holy fucking crap.

uhhh

that is totaly disturbing!

there's a tasteless joke in there somewhere....but right now...I'm too busy cowering in the corner in the fetal position.....eyes clenched shut, fingers stuck in my ears.

Oh dear god...

jesus! the next time i get up from a leather couch, and the skin on my legs sticks for a moment, i will remember this story and then vomit. don't invite me to your home if you have leather furniture.

(that station should be called WTFtv...)

thats why i dont have leather furniture.

Jesus Christ! Shades of se7en...

cool! i'll be right over!

in a sick way its cool.. i wonder if you sit on your computer long enough will you become a cyborg.

"That's a huge bitch!"

For the love of god....

HOW?

gross

If she never got off the couch, how did she get food? Did her family or someone else just throw food at her and LEAVE her like that? What the hell?

This is so sad and terrible.

the detectives in the story were questioning wheather or not it was a case of neglect? if anyone i knew sat in the same spot for more than 48 hours i'd be urging them to talk to someone, a therapist or someone.

Why is it all the weird shit happens in Florida. 6 die because of a stolen Xbox in Deltona, man falls into a woodchipper in Tampa, 600 lb woman is fused to a chair in Stuart. We're not all morons, I swear.

and then there was that election thing...

i'm not convinced.

Please excuse me whilst I pay a visit to the nearest vomitorium.

When I lived down there, I saw on the news that a surgeon accidentally amputated the wrong leg from someone. After that major fuck-up, of course the leg that really needed to be amputated was removed also.

Maybe they were going for symmetry?

FUCKING DISGUSTING


I now ask the question. In a polite manner.

Can you not see that you would be packing on some major pounds?
Wouldnt you have the right sense to do something about it?

and what kinda fabric was the couch?

little did the rescue team know that it was a rare venus flycouch...

i'm guessing (and generalizing) the 600lb crowd doesn't really have the self-respect or motivation to "do something about it".

and yeah, i wondered what kind of fabric too.

how rare?

Maybe she had some kind of medical condition before the weight gain that made her unable to get up/walk/stand. Sitting in one place for a very long time will cause anyone to gain weight.

I would assume that if she could have gotten off the couch, she would have. Duh.

At 600 pounds, she would had to have had someone making serious food runs for her. Not to mention the job of emptying the "bucket" or whatever was being used for waste removal. So the neglect thing is hard to understand... Anyone have any theories?
