We are the world, we are the children, we need to feed the underfed cheese heads.; 10/16/11, 9:51 PM
Chip S. said...: No wonder they want to eat the rich.

Between this guy and Michael Moore, they've pretty much eaten everything else.; 10/16/11, 9:52 PM
Pastafarian said...: Hey, no corroboration necessary, guy. I believe your claim that you're not in the top percentile in income. Seriously, no, I don't need to see your last pay stub.; 10/16/11, 9:52 PM
Tim said...: ...99th percentile in body weight.; 10/16/11, 9:53 PM
Anonymous said...: Some day, all the poor will be able to afford to eat will be the rich.; 10/16/11, 10:06 PM
Jason (the commenter) said...: Look at America's 99% and then compare them to the rest of the world. Picture that guy with the t-shirt next to some starving African or stunted North Korean and tell me he isn't the biggest hypocrite of all.; 10/16/11, 10:07 PM
Jason (the commenter) said...: I don't know if I should laugh or cry when I see these people, but I do feel angry.; 10/16/11, 10:09 PM
traditionalguy said...: He certainly occupies more space than a Tea Partier does.

I heard that he was offered food stamps, but said that food the size of stamps was not enough for him.; 10/16/11, 10:15 PM

Anonymous said...: Well it does appear that the large protester may have had a few rich folks for lunch.; 10/16/11, 10:17 PM
J Allen said...: He's the reason why one must get up early to get the fresh cheese curd.

Having been to a few third world countries myself, this guy has nothing to gripe about.; 10/16/11, 10:17 PM
Chip S. said...: When that guy backs up with his load of facts, does he emit a steady "beep beep beep"?; 10/16/11, 10:25 PM
Fen said...: On the bright side, when the walls come down and we have to escape the barbarians... all we have to do is run faster than this guy. :)

Really, too many Americans are just sheep waiting to be slaughtered.; 10/16/11, 10:38 PM
Wince said...: Prior comments notwithstanding, and without the "facts to back this up," I don't think "99%" is a he.; 10/16/11, 10:51 PM

Clyde said...: I think that Fat Albert ATE the 99%!; 10/16/11, 10:56 PM
PaulV said...: Truly sad that the poor now suffer from diseases associated with obesity and not the rich who use to suffer from them.; 10/16/11, 10:57 PM

Good Lord. What a pathetic comment.; 10/16/11, 11:07 PM

Good Lord. What a pathetic comment!; 10/16/11, 11:28 PM
bagoh20 said...: Why do you people have to call ME every time you see a pathetic comment? Can't you say: "Evil Satan, what a pathetic comment?"

Bug his lazy ass, he's the one enticing these losers.; 10/17/11, 12:04 AM
bagoh20 said...: You would think that someone in the movement would tell this guy: "It's OK dude, we got this protest covered. You don't have to come with your shirt."

I know for a fact that some Tea Party folk will tell an asshole to "beat it" if he's got a stupid sign. Then again they have standards. They clean up the garbage during and after their protests.; 10/17/11, 12:09 AM
Fen said...: Why is Harrowgate so judgemental?

Its as if he's only here to spew his hatred of us.

That is what's "pathetic"; 10/17/11, 12:34 AM
edutcher said...: There comes a point where being almost as broad as you are high defeats the effort.

What this guy did to the Occupiers is the equivalent of Antietam, Gettysburg, Cannae, and the Normandy landings combined.; 10/17/11, 5:44 AM
Tom said...: Someone should advise him that the weight of the evidence is not on his side.; 10/17/11, 5:51 AM

ElPresidenteCastro said...: Looks like 198% to me.; 10/17/11, 6:41 AM
The Dude said...: Harrogate is displeased that his picture has been posted on this site and then abuse has heaped upon him.

Don't worry Harrogate, from the looks of those broad shoulders, you can bear the load. Bear - ha!

You filthy hippies are sure thin skinned. One would think that the crust of dirt covering you would make you tougher, especially when combined with all that adipose tissue. Maybe we were wrong in thinking your physical toughness matches your mental toughness. Oh, right, sorry...; 10/17/11, 7:03 AM
jimspice said...: Oh, I get it. It's funny cuz he's fat. ha ha.; 10/17/11, 7:57 AM
Henry said...: He is at least the 50% among that trio. The other two being about 25% each.; 10/17/11, 9:06 AM
Chip S. said...: No. It's funny cuz a morbidly obese dude is using his immense gut as a billboard to complain about not having enough stuff.

You see, he's sort of a metonym for the general cluelessness of the OWS "movement."

You're welcome/No problem.; 10/17/11, 9:11 AM
madAsHell said...: 99% androgynous.

Please notice that Pat, or Chris, or whatever the name has something to eat.

Can you imagine what might be in that rolling suitcase??; 10/17/11, 9:27 AM
