1,234 pounds! Mexican man "breaks" into record books

breitbart.com — A Mexican tipping the scales at 560 kilograms (1,234 pounds) will be listed as the world's fattest man by the Guinness Book of Records, while a loss of 200 kilos (440 pounds) may make him the man who lost the most weight. "I'm glad to be in the Guinness Book as the fattest man. I am also happy to have lost 200 kilos," Manuel Uribe, 41.

  • DrunkenDevil, on 10/11/2007, -22/+91LOL. Super obesity is hillarious.
    • Scoresheet, on 10/11/2007, -34/+8No its not. its a terrible condition that people do not take seriously because they just think they're greedy.
      • quaxon, on 10/11/2007, -13/+5says the fat guy with ketchup dripping down his chin.
      • PooGod, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19STFU. Medical condition aside, your body can't make fat out of nothing. Just stop eating ***** foods, and you wont be 1000+ pounds.
        • Scoresheet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You don't know what you're talking about, you simple minded fool.
    • Akaji, on 10/11/2007, -5/+97"View larger image."

      Please... no...
      • dillibob, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9dammit i did
      • mikeon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Is that a picture of himself as a kid hanging on that wall behind him?

        I can't remember where I heard this but if someone can't get out of their bed and is obese, don't they have to be turned or moved around every few hours or so? It's so that blood won't pool around in one area or cause some sort of skin disorder.
    • digg-dugg, on 10/11/2007, -13/+5Gross. is that his testicle?
      • brstilson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5That's actually a cyst caused by his weight.
    • Jookly, on 10/11/2007, -5/+29where did he lose the 200? His left testicle?
    • mastertop, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1hmm... if he lost 440 pounds, he was over 1600 pounds before? I don't understand..
      • blackinthmiddle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0No, I believe when he left the house he was over 1200 pounds. He's since lost over 400 pounds.
    • them3nace, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15Poor man, that's really sad :(
      • m0j0j0j0, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1It's not sad, it's ***** reprehensible. He is a total waste of human life and resources that could have been used by productive humans. He deserves to be put in a cell and fed a 1500 calorie diet for a year or so.
    • BeyondGoodNEvil, on 10/11/2007, -10/+5Don't show him the record book. He'll ***** eat it! You know what would be gross as hell? A Gigapixel photo of him standing naked.

      People like him are merely symptoms of decay of civilization. Life is too easy if someone can get that big. I guarantee if he had to farm his own vegetables... I mean process his own junk food manually and raise his own meat, he'd be as trim as a brazilian wax.
    • flowaus, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20I wash my self with a rag on a stick
  • 0simu, on 10/11/2007, -18/+1A man or a bull? :)
  • Error601, on 10/11/2007, -4/+79What an honor.
    • DeathJux, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15I thought "***** yeah!"

      At least somebody's pushing the limits of obesity, I'm sure as hell not going to do it.
  • Scoresheet, on 10/11/2007, -28/+8It's a terrible condition that people do not take seriously because they just think they're greedy.
    • roastedbagel, on 10/11/2007, -10/+16Terrible condition? It's a CONTROLLABLE condition, I dont have sympathy for people like this. Cancer is one thing, but gorging yourself with food to obesity is another.
      • SPECOPS, on 10/11/2007, -16/+3Have you ever considered getting a proper education? Or do you just believe in stuff your parents told you?
        • Daedalos, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Well how do you get that big without consuming excessive amounts of food?
          • aukxsona, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Good question.....so someone educate us.
    • hitmonval, on 10/11/2007, -5/+5Here's the solution: STOP EATING EXCESSIVELY. You would think by the time he reached the 300 lb mark he would have gotten the hint.
    • indigit4l, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2You must be a fat ass too.
    • quaxon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7proof that it is not a condition and that it is from sticking anything edible in your mouth is seen in every third world country and starving population. losing wieght isnt a science either, just eat less calories than you burn and WALAH, the human body is so magical sometimes.
  • deadowl, on 10/11/2007, -4/+29That guy's got the diabetes
    • slayerab, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16He's probably also estranged with his penis, but he ain't complaining, isn't he?
      • mattmcm, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22Doesn't matter. He's in The Book - he must get all kinds of chicks now.
    • Abjure, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10DIABEETUS
    • RetroMUFC, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Don't you mean liveabetes?
    • kewlito, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Can't walk today. I have the diabetes
  • alabamasucks, on 10/11/2007, -21/+2that's right you fatty fat fat
    • Markpdotcom, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1"Shut up and sit down, you big fat *****!"

      Extra points if you know the movie :)
  • heaintheavy, on 10/11/2007, -6/+29That's a lot of chimichangas.
    • Rulsky, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1For your information...the people in Mexico don't know what a chimichanga is.............that's a stupid american invention, being called mexican food.
  • twilightzone, on 10/11/2007, -7/+4Shoot for the stars!
  • DaBrainiac, on 10/11/2007, -4/+63I've got to say... that is really sad. : (
    • desu43fnoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I agree... is it strange for me (and you) to feel really bad for fat people? I couldn't ever make fun of them, and I'm skinny even myself.
  • bradallen18, on 10/11/2007, -7/+69jabba... is that you?
  • alabamasucks, on 10/11/2007, -21/+8haha it's a mexican't
    • aukxsona, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Why is this funny? I dun know...but it is.
    • Rulsky, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1When you go to buy your groceries, beer an clothes at your local Wal-Mart you will see several hundred people just like this one, wobling around the store or hitting you with the stupid little fat/lazy transporters.
  • Axfire, on 10/11/2007, -12/+6Viva Mexico!
    • Rulsky, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Arriba Mexico...rejijos de la chingada
  • loganhid, on 10/11/2007, -19/+3come on guys/gals have a little sympathy for the guy - lay of the jokes. I don't think his problem/illness has anything to do with food.
  • retsig, on 10/11/2007, -12/+33Hate to this but...

    Didn't anyone think about Jabba the hutt?

  • ngc1976, on 11/10/2007, -1/+136Do you see those black, crusty areas on his skin? That's where his flesh is dying because his heart can't get enough blood through all the extra capillaries.
  • Skepsis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Thats amazingly terrible...
  • theexitwound, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7As the article says, he was on TV recently seeking help. The documentary is airing on TLC semi-routinely in their health block of shows. He had lost some weight and was on the right path to losing most of it. He changed diets, started to "exercise" as much as he could, and became a local celebrity. I wonder what happened to make him gain the weight back.
    • dillibob, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15he will never be completely healthy again though. i dont think you can lose all that in one lifetime
    • Payoff, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3""he was on TV recently seeking help""

      Here is a hint... Stop Eating!
      • blackinthmiddle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Usually when guys are this big, they have mental disorders. Ever see the TLC series they're running now about the super obese? You hear them talk for one minute and you immediately sense that maybe they got beaten with a cheeseburger when they were little and now they're getting their revenge!
  • cindylauper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16more sad than funny
  • Hyde69, on 11/10/2007, -7/+86I'm still waiting for the 1337 pound mexican
  • KMye, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11He's lost more than twice as much than I weigh!
  • sfacets, on 10/11/2007, -11/+9It's not sad, it's pathetic. Get off your fat ass. Kids should be made to exercise and eat correctly.
  • satx, on 10/11/2007, -8/+40I'd hit it.
    • elsJake, on 10/11/2007, -3/+24with a bazooka and hope it doesn't bounce back ?
    • ThinkBox, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3I warsh myself with a rag on a stick
    • Synchro, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6If you could find "it".
    • Rezistik, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1it would it back like a tidal wave
  • Wailord, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070720210958.nxif5zgw&show_article=1?= /fatty/
    Nice article...
  • kestrel127, on 11/10/2007, -11/+177Well we know HE won't be sneaking across the border any time soon.
    • ThinkBox, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2well the boarder patrol is on the lookout for any camo-painted for lifts
    • dmightx, on 09/21/2008, -0/+2What are you talking about he can just pretend to be a mountain.
  • neiltc13, on 10/11/2007, -23/+4I knew he would be American.
    • cyrix, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8WTF? He's Mexican.... Way to read the article or the headline for that matter....
    • Jskyboo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8What part of "Mexican man breaks into record books" makes you think he is American??? The article even says "his home in Monterrey, northern Mexico". He is by all means a Mexican and NOT an American.
    • PooGod, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Dude, I would normally say RTFA, but you don't even need to go that far. Read the ***** second word of the description of the article!!! WTF? Are you that lazy you can't even read the description of the article?
    • neiltc13, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2He's from North America so what part of RTFA don't you understand?
      • cyrix, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Are you serious? He's from Mexico.... If you're from the United States that makes you an American. If you're from Canada then you're Canadian, etc...etc...

        Since when does the continent the person come from dictate what nationality they specifically belong too (with the exception of Australians.)
      • gtawh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2So then according to your flawless logic, people living in countries such as Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Ecuador are all Americans as well, since those countries are part of South America?
    • kinda4, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I knew he would be northern hemispherian.
    • ThE0eNiGmA, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2From what I know, English speakers and Spanish speakers look at it differently. For English speakers, residents of U.S. of A are "Americans." Spanish speakers generally call themselves Americans, or "americanos" if they live on the North American continent. Interestingly enough, they call "Americans" norteamericanos. Go figure.
  • dorkino, on 10/11/2007, -11/+7BEEFCAKE!!! BEEEEFFCAAKKKE!!!
  • DesignEx, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11His parents must be so proud.
  • Supernova36, on 10/11/2007, -2/+45I thought the Guiness Book of Records stopped taking records like this to discourage people from doing it..?
    • hitmonval, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14I hope not. They're entertaining.
    • ronaldinho, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Why would they? They actually make money by listing out interesting (though often useless) information. And if people are encouraged into doing crazy things, that means they are out of their own minds. None of Guinness' fault.
  • BobOrleans, on 11/10/2007, -5/+58Shame on you America, I thought you were #1.
    • Solenoid, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2#1 in the "most obese people per square inch".
      • Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1shouldn't that be most inches taken up by obese people?
    • karel747, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2We're working on it, damnit! Give us time and we'll give you 20 1,200+ lb men!

    "haha it's a mexican't"

    haha it's a.... You're an *****.
  • AlexWills, on 10/11/2007, -11/+3Sad state in our society that we are more fascinated by someone weighing 1,200 pounds rather than someone breaking the 25-year American Mile record.
  • Jonaas, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2This dude should be the next US president

  • bioncinola, on 10/11/2007, -11/+61) Imagine the size of the turds...

    2) Poor guy -- See the picture on the wall?? that's him before he encountered this weight difficulty

    3) Maybe he hit a weight problem after a girl rejected him ? Girls are evil!!!
    • Pake, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0#1, I was thinking the same thing. He must ***** a 5lb burrito... It's sad though and I hope he works through it and makes changes his life style.
      • ColonelJessup, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Mmmmmmmmm 5 lb. burrito.............
    • solonGFX, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Dude I don't think the turds would come out. I mean, thinking about it.. his ass cheeks must be huge. They probably get squished and just .. drip.. out. Or wait for a team to pry his ass apart and wipe it. Man that's sickening.
  • NullzipZero, on 11/10/2007, -2/+29Let's hope this guy gets into the record books again for losing the most weight.
    • Solenoid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I wonder if he can actually lose enough weight to live a normal life... this will seriously damage his body and shorten his life, does he have enough time...
  • gal3on64, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3disgusting. nsfw.. kinda
  • NiGHTSChao, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3He still doesn't make up the amount of fat people in America (and yes, I am an American)
  • Stevanoski, on 10/11/2007, -6/+4I wonder if he will become an illegal alien now?
    • Solenoid, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Probably not, they don't ask for ID if you're fat to enter the US, they automatically assume you're American.
  • funkmachine, on 10/11/2007, -6/+6He must have a really ***** arse.
  • ruddy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14he weights 1200 and he can do the splits?
    • darkphoenix939, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2would you like to lift up his flaps and check?
    • ccfccp420, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4doubt he has a choice in the matter...
  • knodi, on 10/11/2007, -8/+19Breaking news the 560kg Mexican man has died when his left man boob flopped and covered this mouth and nose while he was sleeping. The paramedics say this arms where trapped under his rolls of fat known as love handles.
