Give This Mexican Some Free Healthcare

July 24th, 2007 at 12:54 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

Michael Moore is currently booking his JetBlue airfare to scuttle down to Monterrey and document the superiority of Vicente Fox’s healthcare system, in his upcoming groundbreaking documentary: Fatso.

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, told AFP.

Through a press release that I just made up, Moore was quoted as saying that “Manuel’s hard work to achieve the type of greatness of which I can only dream should be viewed as a tribute to all Mexican-Americans wherever they may be in the greater 48 states.”

“This proves, once and for all that we, as greedy Americans should immediately provide universal healthcare to all of Mexico and Central America as soon as possible,” Moore added.

   I wonder if the Mexican Healthcare System pays for the Zoo Keeper to show up with the dual, empty 55 gallon drums and the Yukon snow shovel to clean up the shit that this elephantine sloth.

   Why is it that whenever they show bedridden fat people, they are always naked? Can’t they put a bedsheet or tent around their big man breasts, at least?

   Also, I can’t look at MM without seeing the puppet they did of him in “Team America”.
