Obese Inmate

Hmm...almost a year gone by since the last post. There must be something out there that pisses me off enough to blog about. In defense of my absence from the blog, I have to say that even the unbridled, ass-clown lunacy of the world pales in comparison to that of my job. So much so that -- ah, yes, here we are:

Obese Inmate

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — An inmate awaiting trial on a murder charge is suing the county, complaining he has lost more than 100 pounds because of the jailhouse menu.

Broderick Lloyd Laswell says he isn't happy that he's down to 308 pounds after eight months in the Benton County jail. He has filed a federal lawsuit complaining the jail doesn't provide inmates with enough food.

According to the suit, Laswell weighed 413 pounds when he was jailed in September.

So, what, the prison should cater to his gluttony?? Wait a minute...he isn't happy that he's DOWN to 308lbs? He should be thanking the prison system, not suing it!


In the county jail's defense, they were more than willing to accommodate Laswell's request for more feed -- erm, "food" -- but they didn't have a big enough back-hoe.

"On several occasions I have started to do some exercising and my vision went blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out," Laswell wrote in his complaint.

That's not because you're being mal-treated by the prison, it's because your f*cking obese!!!

"About an hour after each meal my stomach starts to hurt and growl. I feel hungry again."

Whaaaaaaa!

The meals, provided through Aramark Correctional Institution Services...

Now why doesn't that information surprise me.


Note also that this story was reported in Bentonville, Ark., home to none other than...tah-dahhhh!!!...Mal-Wart. Let's see...gluttonous murderer (alleged) with an overinflated sense of self-entitlement...and Wal-Mart. Is the connection not obvious?
