How does anyone get into this state in the first place? Too many people refuse to lay any blame or responsibility at Manuel's door (actually, I doubt he has a door, probably more of an elephant flap) and I can't help but think that's part of the reason why he's reached the abnormal size that he has.

I think there are far more deserving causes out there that people should be offering their sympathy to, as for Manuel he's nothing but a modern day freak show.
