Gary Stocklaufer said he and his wife, Cynthia, were asked to adopt Gary's cousin's 3-month-old son because the relative couldn't care for the boy anymore. But a judge — the same judge who approved Gary's adoption of his now 7-year-old son — denied the adoption on the grounds of Gary's weight, Stocklaufer said.

Actually, it turns out the adoption was denied on the grounds that the guy wears those french pimp hats.

Al, I had not even noticed the goofy hat until you commented.

That's actually pretty reasonable. Someone that weighs 550 lbs. probably isn't going to be a very good parent because 1) They obviously don't know how to take care of even themselves 2) They're likely to be dead soon.
