He Could Have Been Mine

October 27th, 2008 by Evil Beet


My last chance at a blissful marriage just slipped through the cracks. Actually, that’s probably a really bad metaphor in this case.

The world’s fattest man as of 2007, Mexican Manuel Uribe, has married his friend’s widow in a televised ceremony the Discovery channel dubbed My Big Fat Mexican Wedding.

Despite shedding 230 kilograms (570 pounds) from 590 kilograms early on this year, Uribe, 43, had to be carried by a crane on his bed, where he has been confined for years, to the makeshift altar at a venue 30 minutes from his home on Sunday … The wedding reception had a “low-calorie banquet” with meat, cream of mushroom and buttered vegetables.

Congrats to the happy couple!

  2. Kelsey says:

    Hes so fat one of his nipples went missing!

    And yeah, cream of mushroom is totally low in calories, along with those buttered verggies.

  3. kris says:

    Is that huge blob one of his balls?

  4. woohoo says:

    Seriously? Cream of mushroom and butter? I want a low cal diet then

    The mattress is already worn out and it’s not even his honeymoon yet.

  6. censorthis says:

    funny, but that mattress looks like something you’d wake up face down on after a night of watching donkey shows in tijuana while licking tequila off a middle aged mexican hookers sagging breasts. not that i’ve ever done it, mind you.

    i bet she got him life insurance…..

  8. huh? says:

    I don’t even understand how someone gets like this. I understand being a bit chubby or a bit thick, but this? I mean it’s so unhealthy and frankly dangerous. Best wishes for them though. To each his own.

  9. Indigo says:

    OMG Beet! Couldn’t you have a least listed this as NSWE (not safe while eating)??I almost chocked to death!!

  20. TSS says:

    WTF???…..

    I knew “love is blind” but I didn’t know it was coked up on crack too.

    I’m mad….How come I wasn’t invited??? Did he wear a tux? Cus I have a Sea World Fun Pass and that expires next month…

    Oh well… Did they throw rice or was he on Atkins?

    And what’s with the damn turban covering his wee wee???… If that’s Osama Bin Laden under there, I want my cut of the reward!!!

    Does that mean Perez is the fattest single Latino on the planet now?

    Ahh…Fuck the wedding, I want to know who makes that bed. That’s quality shit right there!

    Ok…I’m gonna go post this picture on Craigslist personals with the title, “Ha…This guy’s married and you’re ass is still single!”

  21. lau_ren says:

  23. jk says:

  24. Megnolia says:

    I know I’m going to hell for saying this, but when I read Wendie’s post I nearly shot sweet tea out my nose from laughing so hard. lol

  25. amanda says:

    oh my god look at his right foot.
    and wendie’s comment made me crack up XD

  26. censorthis says:

    well, we know who’s going to take his turn breastfeeding the babies.

  27. jennatar says:

    I hate it when my thighs chafe.

  28. TSS says:

    If you look at it from an angle, it kinda looks like Kim Kardashian….pre-lipo.

  29. ann says:

    I don’t even want to know what happens on their “honeymoon”…. lol!

  30. Down Unda says:

    I’m glad to see somebody overcoming personal handicaps to achieve their goals. Despite upsidedown-wrongside eyebrows, Manuel continues to try to fly by holding out his arms and making “vroom, vroom” airplane sounds.

    One day he’ll fly right out of Shawshank… one day.

  31. catlass says:

    Waiting for the hot wedding night XXX video to come out…ay chihuahua!

  32. Down Unda says:

    @Catlass: More like the hot wedding night DCCLXXX video!

  33. censorthis says:

    on the bright side, at least his wife has plenty of places to hide her drug stash now.

  34. Ad says:

    How did his right leg get so lucky?

  35. censorthis says:

    beet, can we start this over and just have everybody guess what he smells like? i’m guessing soured milk, like most fat people.

  36. imustsay says:

    when his new brides 15 minutes of fame is over, she has this to come home to. why did one side of his body get more fat than the other?

  37. imustsay says:

    @ censorthis…

    rotton fajitas!!!

  38. PurpleMonkeyPaws says:

    OMG

  39. Jim says:

    beet, I think you could still have him. there’s plenty enough for two! you could start on one side and his wife on the other. You probably wouldn’t meet for several hours!! I have a strange desire to watch Star Wars: Return of the Jedi!

  40. ThatLisa says:

    hahhaaa @ TSS’s craiglist thing and wendie’s comment…

    good lord.

    well… at least he’s lost weight… I don’t understand how he hasn’t died yet

  41. Dmarie says:

    LOL wendie!!
    props to whoever can find me a pic of him pre-losing weight

  42. Down Unda says:

    @Dmarie: Here ya go, a video: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=i8aagA5oLok. It cuts out when Princess Leia chokes him with her bondage chain.

  43. Maddog says:

    It looks like you could take a box-cutter to that fucking thigh and he’d lose 150 pounds….

  44. versacee says:

    i absolutely love this picture.

    why was the man naked? did he just finished doing the dirty deed on that bed? how did he stand at the avatar.

    i love seeing fatties.

  45. Jen says:

    See, ladies? There is a lid for every pot! The secret is lowering your standards! Geez – even Chang and Eng got married, for pete’s sake!

  46. quirkygirlkitten says:

    jabba the hut is alive and well in mexico.

  47. DarkEmpress says:

    Ok, I was watching a doc on this guy on my couch eating chocolate icing by the tablespoon and I took the spoon of icing out of my mouth and threw away the entire tub of icing and I will never buy icing again. You guys don’t understand, he used to be a computer programmer in the US then he was eating fast food and getting really fat, so he went home to Mexico thinking he would lose weight, but his mom – the enabler, kept feeding him and he just got fatter. His girl she’s a trooper, when he couldn’t leave the bed, she would clean him and i dont want to go into disgusting detail but i do mean clean him. Even though he’s bed ridden he exercises by dancing (wobbling) around in his bed and working his arms. That ball is a massive fat deposit, I can’t remember the term but its basically a lump of fat.
