I like the last the best.

I'll take a diet mountain dew and a doublewide coffin please.

Or, you know... just lose some weight and stop waiting for everyone to cater to your lack of willpower and disgustingness. Either way.

I'm by no means thin, but as soon as you stop being able to function in normal society I would think some red flags might go up.

I'm sorry but if your so huge you need any of that stuff then it's time to get your stomach stapled or something. It's an interesting post for sure I had no idea that stuff was for sale but man if you can't even wipe your own ass....

As for obesity being a disease and not a moral deficiency or weakness of will, that is only true for a small percentage of obese individuals. A BMI score of 30 or over is obese, I think what these things are designed for are the Morbidly Obese people whose BMI is over 40.

hmm... how could I also exploit the fat things for money?

My BMI clocks in at 28.7 by the way and I'm no where near huge enough for any of that stuff

Anyone who has shopped for clothes in a regular department store recently like Macys can easily see clothes are catered to fat people. Smalls are now what used to be a medium (or a large in some cases).

Maybe companies should stop making large person clothes in XXL sizes. This includes sweatpants and anything made of nylon. Then these people would have nothing to wear, and be forced to lose weight.

what!? no Sans-a-belt slacks?

You really think a Bottom Buddy is practical? If you're at a point where you can't reach back there, I'm sorry, but the only option is the car wash...on a truck bed...ass sticking up...

guy 1: "Hey there's a health epidemic and people are so obese they can no longer function."

guy 2: "Yeah, i wonder if we can exploit that while making those people live more comfortably and thus make a profit"

guy 1: "prolly"

I hate that stores are moving towards changing clothing sizes to make larger people feel better, because now I have no clue what to buy; is the medium going to be way too big, or is the small going to choke me?

Someone mentioned stomach stapling up there which is not exactly a cheap and safe thing to do, it is most often used as a last resort.

As for being overweight, I have several friends who are considered "overweight" and they ride street bikes at least 30 miles a week. Not all overweight people are living an unhealthy lifestyle, but with these products...you would have to be too large to be healthy to need these.

That toilet bowl is huge! But the tank looks like it's a little undersized to handle any super-sized cable that needs flushing away (far, far away, please).

They're probably bound by the same gallons-per-flush rules as everyone else...

I think we would all like to hear what Mark2000 has to say about this.

This is bullshit. It's fat people's fault they are fat, none of this "genetics" crap. people need to stop telling people it's okay to be like this. it's disgusting, it's unhealthy. This is like telling a smoker that they aren't a drug addict. If you need any of these, I implore you to take the money and get some help for yourself.

hospitals just recently spend x-million to revamp their furniture to accomodate the largeness of today's society. Health care costs (a.k.a. you and me) are paying for that. This is starting to become not just a "buy it if you need it" epidemic but more of a "why do I have to pay for your sorry ass if you can't drop that frickin' cheeseburger." This is on top of the above comments that S M L are no longer what they used to be...

little do you know that in the very corners of those products is "MADE IN USA"

You know, for a bunch of trolls hanging around a web site to comment on other people's efforts, you seem to have an awfully over-inflated sense of yourselves.

Gizmodo, you really dropped your usual high standards on this one.

Thanks homerjay, I 'was' just wondering his opinion.

What? Where's the special "dialing wand" to use when your fingers are too fat to use the phone?

Just mash the keypad to request one...

They should market the toilet as the "Big John". That would be marketing at its finest.

How about just getting some willpower? I already cringe whenever I hear about our country being the fattest BY FAR.

But the real reason I'm commenting is that perhaps I am doing something wrong when I sit down on the can. I don't have rocks. Have I been completely misled in my upbringing? Someone explain the stones thrown around the floor next to the Orca sized porcelin god in that first picture...

Thanks for your help.

Dammit. I'm a fat guy (260 at 5'9") but I joined a gym a few months ago and have been going almost every day.

I'm uncomfortable at my current weight, which was what prompted me to go to the gym in the first place. I have no idea how somebody who is 400 pounds, needs a plastic arm to wipe the ass, and a toilet that big keeps going. I'd kill myself. It would better the world with beautification, and honestly, at that point, you're just deluding yourself.

The one I don't like on the list is SeatGuru though. I use it all the time, simply because it helps me get leg room.

I'm morbidly obese, and I think I'll comit suicide now.

Hey, Seatguru is for everyone. Don't make me feel bad for being the skinny dude in the Exit row.

The root sin here isn't gluttony, it's probably laziness.

One day I realized I had to work at living so I quit smoking, drinking, and laying around on the couch alla time. Started thinking about what I was eating before I ate it, and joined a gym--and used it. Lost a bunch of weight. And my breath is now minty-fresh, and I don't feel jiggle when I walk down the stairs.

This sort of thing doesn't come in a pill, or from eating cabbage, or being hypnotized. It comes from hard work. And I don't know about you but the only people I see working hard in my hometown are the Mexican roofers.

seriously, I am morbidly obese. I guess that makes me a horrible person. I like the fact that the editors of this blog, which my fat-ass loves so much would have the maturity to "non'judgmentally post this." The Sincerity is really shown in the products that will actually help these people live a healthier life.

You all just think of how hard it is to lose 10 pounds, when you haven't excercized for a while and then just think how hard it would be to lose 100-200 pounds just to qualify as just obese. If you know anything about gastral bypass surgury, or even just seen diagrams, you'd understand why someone wouldn't want to do so much harm to their body. I personally have witnessed first hand a man die on the Intensive care table, just because he wanted to lose weight by getting a gastric bypass.

I know this is a snarky, testosterone induced blog, but lets try to keep the humanity. If you can't say something nice...go stick it up your skrawny self wiping ass.

I'd hate to be a funeral director telling someone "no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get your dearly departed to fit into any of our coffins....."

Wow, I was going to suggest a towel wrapped around a broomstick leaning against the wall for those who couldn't wipe themselves, but the 'Bottom Buddy' anticipated me.

Uurp, you just spoke volumes.

Obesity is a disease? What a croc of you-know-what!!! Cancer is a disease. MS is a disease. Obesity is something you can control and therefore IS NOT A DISEASE!!! STOP PUTTING THE FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH!!! There's only one to get fat - BY EATING TOO MUCH!!! When you need a special butt wiping stick and are constantly losing bars of soap in your rolls it's time TO STOP EATING SO MUCH!!!

Wow, some people really don't like fat people. Some of those people are really ignorant as well.

Try reading the article "Fat Factors" in the New York Times Aug 27th. It will explain a few of the numerous ways an imbalance in a person's body (of either genetic or bacterial nature) can predispose them to uncontrollable weight gain.

Sure there are fat people who are that way due to laziness but, until you have the ability to distinguish them from those that have legitimate health problems, you shouldn't denigrate them, IMHO.

Oh, natural selection...how we miss thee.

Natural selection is a process of genetic evolution. If obesity is related to intestinal flora (like ulcers were) then this has nothing to do with the person or their genome, it is an infection pure and simple.

Although removing a bacterial population from the intesine is not simple.

Obesity is no disease, and I hate that fat Americans try to perpetuate that pathetic excuse. If your thyroid stops working or something, then okay - you get to play the "genetic card." Otherwise, you're huge because you're a lazy tard and eat like the jaws of life.

On a side note, caloric intake is BY FAR the most efficient way to alter your body composition. For example, Run one mile = 100 calories. Skip one donut = 225 calories. Which do you think is easier?

Lastly, for the BMI guys above ... Body Mass Index is a pointless measure for individuals. It works out mathematically for large population studies (like what insurance companies do for actuarial tables), but an individual using BMI as a measure of fitness will not get an accurate picture of their health. For instance, I am 5'8" and 185lbs. I'm borderline obese by the BMI standards. However, I've got 6% bodyfat ... I'm actually about as far away from obese as you can get. BMI fails to take body composition into account ... a lot of muscle or a total lack of muscle can really screw the measurement up.

It took me while to point this because my fat suausage fingers keep getting stuck to the keys. I coudl go wipe the peanut butter off them but I'm too damn lazy to get off my fat a$$. Seriousl;y thought, the first product is the best: "has an extra wide base with four anchor points and 150% more contact area on the seat." Without getting too grose, I wonder how much extra water it's going to take per flush to get old fatty-fat-fat's enourmous stool down the drain? The environmentalist should be protesting by now!!

Argue about the nature of being overweight all you want. I just want that big-ass toilet. What a conversation piece, and easier to clean around the base.

@hobobobo

interestingly, when you read the literature you find that caloric intake, weight gain, and exercise are decoupled, that is in many people the numbers of calories consumed, weight gained and calories burned simply DO NOT ADD UP. The science myth you are perpatuating makes sense (that is how it came to be) but occam's razor is simply not always right, this is such a case. The body can waste huge amounts of energy on enefficient processes or it can store it. What the body decides to do with excess energy is genetic and thus in some people excess weight is a disease. However, I readily conceed that many fat people got that way by being lazy. We just don't know what percentage and it would be cruel to tease those who cannot control their weight.

I like the super sized coffin. If your not that huge you could use it to be buried with a loved one, or that person you wish was a loved one. You just need to find a way to get a screaming kicking person to get in the coffin with your dead body.

I used to serve Cheese Curds at the State Fair, and what always got me was the fact that someone would order 3 boats of cheese curds and a Diet Coke! WHAT!?! Each boat equals something like the equivalent of 4 Big Macs. I'd just shake my head and take their $14.

On the plus side of things (mild pun intended) however, overweight individuals have the ability to float very well in water, I just sink like a stone.

Pandawear- Anything served by the 'boat' has GOT to tip you off....

Most obese people are lazy. Are they lazy because they're fat or are they fat because they're lazy?

My aunt is giant. She's giant because she's a lazy POS. Now she's got so many medical conditions that are keeping her that way that its too late.

People don't just wake up obese one day. You can clearly see it coming. Put some effort in and figure out why its happening and change it and maybe you wont end up needing any of this shit.

Ooona-wonga-wonga Solo! (Insert Star Wars reference). I think that it would be great if George Lucas started marketing Sand Skiffs. Either that or Tattoine styled Official Star Wars JabbaChair. That way we wouldn't feel so bad about off-handed obesity comments, like the one I'm just making now.

@ The Lab

While there is definitely a strong link between genetics and obesity, it is flat out dangerous to the overall health of our people to assume that the vast majority of society is obese solely based on genetic factors.

It is simply NOT TRUE.

The vast majority of Americans are obese because their genetics do not play well with things like saturated and trans fats, their genetics do not allow them to get through the day with minimal physical exertion and not gain weight, and their genetics do not support them going on a diet for a month, losing 10 lbs, and then falling back into their old eating habits.

Poor nutrition and a complete lack of physical activity is, in my and many other people's opinions, the proverbial nail in the coffin on state of health in America.

And to back that up you can look at the developing countries where processed foods have just really gotten a foothold in the last 10 years or so. Those countries, particularly in Central and South America, are seeing their obesity numbers increase.

There's no way I could believe that genetics are the main factor when 50 years ago, our population was not 60% overweight and 30-something% obese.

I think the Bottom Buddy being the item number two on the list is hilarious. Then I start to wonder how fat you should be that you can't wipe your own butt and it just makes me sad.

That 15 pound burger is paltry. No double patty, no bacon?! Only 25 slices of cheese! Bubba's gonna need a couple of Grand Slams after that app.

I want that toilet just for one day a year, the morning after Thanksgiving dinner, would be totally worth it as long as the sewer pipe is super sized for after a 4 hour Turkeython.

@ The Lab

I was formerly a published (MSSE, J Appl Physiol, etc) clinical kinesiologist in research at a major university. This is my relaxation site, so I do my best to keep my posts on the level...

That being said, genetic factors have not made the American popultion obese. Rather, it is caused by inactivity (likely due to technological advances) and excessive calorically-dense, nutritionally-devoid foods.

There have been and will always be genetic exceptions within a given population. By no means does that implicate the majority ... the "literature" would indicate that about 3% of the obese population is that way because of a genetic problem that cannot be easily overcome by a good diet and physical activity. By the way, the New York Times is not "literature" in the field of kinesiology/exercise science/etc. One of my studies was grossly misrepresented by their science department a couple years back. I rank their scientific credibility right up there with a dead retarded baby.

Yes, there are metabolic differences from person to person. One person gains weight easily while another drops it at the tip of a hat... This is still not an excuse to be morbidly obese (and a lot of the differences are quickly altered by exercise). These differences have existed forever, but only in recent times have entire societies been plagued by obesity.

Bottom line - Americans as a population are fat because they eat too much crap and are underactive. With the exception of that 3
