manuel_uribe_meme_mobile_car_3.6.09Fat hottie Manuel Uribe is getting a customized ride to lounge in. He's still too big to walk, but his wife Claudia Solis has agreed to drive him around while he reclines in a bed at the back of a specially modified 1989 Chevrolet Astrovan. Manuel, who is known to his friends as "Meme" is calling the van a "Meme-Mobile." Fatmobile was just too lazy of a joke. At his heaviest, Manuel weighed in at a record-breaking 1,230 pounds, but has said he's since shed 500 pounds by eating lots of fruits and vegetables and staying away from fattening foods. Here he is chatting about his plans for the van:   At home, Manuel will park, sexily, in a remodeled garage, where a forklift will will raise his mattress to the back of the van, and vice-versa. To fit his busy lifestyle, the minivan will be converted into an open-air flatbed truck-like vehicle. Which will suck when it starts to rain. On the plus side, it is a rather fetching and sunny shade of bright yellow:

 Manuel says he wants to eventually start his own auto parts business. We wish you luck with that, Meme! We have to wonder, though... Will the car be able to hold him? And how long until he's able to walk and skip and run and... pull a Dr. Manhattan?

    LOWRIDER! They should put flames and a picture of his wife-a on the hood of the car. I know someone who can hook him up!

    No way. They need to airbrush an image of La Virgen on that. Maybe some dice too.

    Yeah don't think the engine will hold. I am starting my career as a screen writer this weekend; my first flick will be "I Can Now Go Buy Cheetos. The mobile life of the fattest man on earth." A sure hit!

    Mexican moms do that, because there is no social security and they want their sons to take care of them when them when they are old.at least the ones I have known.I was not speaking of where they live, I was speaking of their mothers love for them.I think Manuel is a sweet person...too bad your not. May God bless him.U2.

    I have mixed feelings about this story. Partly I feel anger at the mother whose misguided love enabled a habit as addictive as drugs. I also am rubbed the wrong way by the public who makes this man a celebrity because of his size. I saw a documentary early on when he was 100 pounds, where he yelled at his mother and demanded more eggs when he was clearly not needing that much food. He refused bypass surgery, I think, because food was his comfort, like a drug. So, when he was only 500 pounds, he would have done that then. I have seen many bariatric people (over 350 pounds) who are forced into medical care because their weight makes them unable to feed themselves, yet family shovels the food into their mouths. They also can't even breathe on their own and can't even wash themselves. Normal sized caregivers have to work in teams of 3 and 4 just to turn the mass of the body over to bathe it after the person soiled himself. All the while during this care, the staff often gets hurt when the sheer mass of the patient crushes their arms while they are trying to move them. With this size, I've seen a BIG attitude in many. On another documentary, there was a woman who opted for a total body lift. When she was in the horpital hall, she raised the walker in a threatening way and yelled for everyone to get out of the way. That's not funny or sympathetic. And others expect people to move them no matter how large they get, and they demand it in a very mean way. I saw another patient in real life who was 500 pounds, and the sin of it was that his basic care kept his young child of 16 at his bedside to help his wife. He would yell and swear at the child if she lifted one of his legs, which outweighed her entire body, and caused him any pain, His choices took away the life she should have been having. He would apologize for yelling and cursing, but the hurt was still there in the child's face. He needed to control himself for the first time in his life, not ask all the time for forgiveness so that he could repeat it. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that Manuel found someone willing to stand by him and make him happy. But it requires a lifetime of self-control just like rehab from a drug habit. Love is not shoving the food in to shut him up, just like it isn't love to supply the drugs the addict yells for. And without respite care for this wife, she will have no life of her own.

    Disgusting. Period. A lifetime of going nowhere. Literally.

    He started gaining weight as an adult when he moved to the US actually. He later moved back to Mexico. Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish. --Charles Caleb Colton
