Alliteration abounds.

this is my thread to commend famous fat people and their bloated lifestyles. To start this series off we will have a figure from history.

Winston Churchill

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill(30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. A noted statesman, orator and strategist, Churchill was also a soldier in the British Army. He has been studied to a unique extent as part of modern British and world history. A prolific author, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953 for his own historical writings.

Also the man that said:

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others"

The Notorious B.I.G.

Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), popularly known as Biggie Smalls (after a gangster in the 1975 film Let's Do It Again), Big Poppa, Frank White (from the film King of New York), and his primary stage name, The Notorious B.I.G. (Business Instead of Game), was an American rapper and hip hop artist.

Biggie was heavily involved in the East Coast-West Coast hip hop feud dominating the scene at the time. On March 9, 1997, he was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. Biggie was noted for his “loose, easy flow”, dark semi-autobiographical lyrics and storytelling abilities. Since his death, a further two albums have been released and he has been described by the media as one of the greatest rappers

"Sweet mother of GOD! WHAT IS THE HOLD UP?!"

[Black Betty]

When I die, fuck it I wanna go to hell
Cause I'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit the goodie-goodies
Dressed in white, I like black Tims and black hoodies
God will probably have me on some real strict shit
No sleepin' all day, no gettin my dick licked
Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise
fuck that shit, I wanna tote guns and shoot dice
All my life I been considered as the worst
Lyin' to my mother, even stealin' out her purse
Crime after crime, from drugs to extortion
I know my mother wished she got a fuckin' abortion
She don't even love me like she did when I was younger
Suckin' on her chest just to stop my fuckin' hunger
I wonder if I died, would tears come to her eyes?
Forgive me for my disrespect, forgive me for my lies
My babies' mothers 8 months, her little sister's 2
Who's to blame for both of them (naw nigga, not you)
I swear to God I just want to slit my wrists and end this bullshit
Throw the Magnum to my head, threaten to pull shit
And squeeze, until the bed's, completely red
I'm glad I'm dead, a worthless fuckin' buddah head
The stress is buildin' up, I can't,
I can't believe suicide's on my fuckin' mind
I want to leave, I swear to God I feel like death is fuckin' callin' me
Naw you wouldn't understand (nigga, talk to me please)
You see its kinda like the crack did to Pookie, in New Jack
Except when I cross over, there ain't no comin' back
Should I die on the train track, like Remo in Beatstreet
People at the funeral frontin' like they miss me
My baby momma kissed me but she glad I'm gone
She knew me and her sista had somethin' goin' on
I reach my peak, I can't speak,
call my nigga Chic, tell him that my will is weak.
I'm sick of niggas lyin', I'm sick of bitches hawkin',
matter of fact, I'm sick of talkin'.
[BANG]
(hey yo big...hey yo big)

Reraise...sam Kinison

[Black Betty]

Kinison was famous for his extremely raunchy humor and amazingly wild, colorful outfits. A former revival-style preacher, his standup routines were most often characterized by intense, angry ranting and punctuated by his trademark scream.

Detox? There's a bargain. $13,000 for a 3 and a half week treatment. And, folks, I don't want to sound like a casual user or anything, but if you can come up with $13,000, YOU DONT HAVE A PROBLEM YET!

Folks, I've been straight for seventeen days... Not all in a row.

Jesus had a tough life. I read about that guy. Jesus is the only guy that ever came back from the dead THAT DIDN'T SCARE THE FUCK OUT OF EVERYBODY!

Rock Against Drugs, what a name. Somebody was high when they came up with that title. It's like Christians Against Christ. Rock created drugs.

'Charlie, why'd you do it?' 'I heard the album. I heard that goddam White Album. Why don't we do it in the road? Whadda you think he was sayin', man? No one will be watching us.' And you're sitting there going: IT'S A FFUCKIN' ALBUM! YOU WERE ON ACID, MANSON! IT'S A FUCKIN' ALBUM! You'd have gotten the same message out of the Monkees, you fuckin' dickhead.

Fatty Arbuckle

Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle, also known as Fatty Arbuckle (March 24, 1887 – June 29, 1933), was an American silent film comedian. Arbuckle is noted as one of the most popular actors of his era, but he is best remembered for a heavily publicized criminal prosecution that ended his career. Although he was acquitted by a jury with a written apology, the trial's scandal ruined the actor, who would not appear on screen again for another 10 years.

At the height of his career, Arbuckle was under contract to Paramount Studios for $1 million a year, the first such documented salary paid by a Hollywood studio. He worked hard for the money, filming three feature films simultaneously. On September 3, 1921 Arbuckle took a break from his hectic film schedule and drove to San Francisco with two friends, movie directors Lowell Sherman and Fred Fischbach. The three checked into the St. Francis Hotel, decided to have a party and invited several women to their suite. During the carousing a 24-year-old aspiring actress named Virginia Rappe became seriously ill and was examined by the hotel doctor, who concluded her symptoms were mostly caused by intoxication.

Rappe died three days later of peritonitis caused by a ruptured bladder. Rappe's companion at the party, Maude Delmont, claimed Arbuckle had pierced Rappe's bladder while raping her. Accusations arose that Arbuckle had become carried away and tried to use a Coca-Cola or Champagne bottle to simulate sex with Rappe, which led to the injuries. Arbuckle was confident he had nothing to be ashamed of and denied any wrongdoing. Delmont later made a statement to the police in an attempt to get money from Arbuckle's attorneys, and the matter soon spun out of her control.

Roscoe Arbuckle's career is cited by many film historians as one of the great tragedies of Hollywood. His trial was a major media event and stories in William Randolph Hearst's nationwide newspaper chain were written to make Arbuckle appear guilty. The resulting scandal destroyed his career and his personal life. Morality groups called for Arbuckle to be sentenced to death and studio executives ordered Arbuckle's industry friends not to publicly speak up for him. Charlie Chaplin was in England at the time. Buster Keaton did make a public statement in support of Arbuckle, calling Roscoe one of the kindest souls he had known.

After two trials resulted in hung juries the third ended in an acquittal and a written apology from the jury.

The Arbuckle case was one of four major Paramount-related scandals of the period. In 1920 Olive Thomas died after drinking a large quantity of medication meant for her husband (matinee idol Jack Pickford) which she had mistaken for water. In 1922 the murder of director William Desmond Taylor effectively ended the careers of actresses Mary Miles Minter and former Arbuckle screen partner Mabel Normand and in 1923 actor/director Wallace Reid's drug addiction resulted in his death. The scandals caused by these tragedies rocked Hollywood, leading to calls for reform of the "indecency" being "promoted" by motion pictures and resulted in the Production Code, which set standards for behavior depicted in Hollywood films.

The Hays Office banned all of Arbuckle's films, although Will H. Hays later acknowledged that Arbuckle could be allowed to work in Hollywood. Ironically one of the few Arbuckle feature-length films known to survive is Leap Year, one of two finished films Paramount held from release during the scandal. It was eventually released in Europe but was never theatrically released in the United States or Britain.
