Woman Dies Of Sitting On Couch

This is one of the most shocking yet hilarious pieces of news I have ever read. Of course, I was just left wondering, how could this be? There are so many unintentionally hilarious things in the article, that I did not count.

What do you find hilarious about the article? This is just plain sad. The woman was obviously neglected for all these years. She stayed on the couch so much that her skin granulated onto the surface of the couch. It's horrible that the guy who lived with her didn't do anything about it. The man is quoted as saying He has told them he tried repeatedly to get her up, but simply couldn't.
Well, duh, if you can't lift her get somebody to help you! The stupidity of people these days is amazing

Before I posted this link, I knew people would miss the humor and jump on the sad card. But how is an enviroment created for you to stay put for 5 YEARS!!!??? I can't even stand to sit in the same position for 2 hours. I don't know how I feel but it's a mix between laffter, horror, confusion, and a bit of disgust against the human race.

Exactly, it's as much as the womans fault as the caretakers. She didn't get attached to the couch from the beginning, it took awhile to happen. Even if she was morbidly obese, that took years to develop. So she could have left that couch in the beginning. I dunno, it's very weird.

I think the couch manufacturer is missing a golden marketing opportunity. Who else can say their couches are so comfortable that someone decides to sit in it for 5 years and fuse their skin with their fabric? Makes my micofiber couches seem a little less special. Only in Amerikka.

Couldn't her family just start putting her food out of her reach....forcing her off the couch? But anyway, her name was Gayle Grinds!

I think it's absolutely ridiculous to blame anyone for not taking care of this woman. I mean, she obviously let herself go in such a way that tells us she had no self respect. It seems like she actually died 6 years ago that very day she decided not to get up from her couch.

I have to agree. I'm sorry, but I can't feel pity for someone like this. You don't grow a fat ass overnight...it's a gradual change led by choice.

Didn't you know? Humans are no longer responsible. Obesity is a disease. And if you don't exercise and eat fast food everyday, this woman's caretaker is to blame.

Gotta love Anon's sarcasm.

I would call this an example of symbiosis. Ahhh, nature never fails to surprise.
