Throwing his weight around

A while back, there were various reports about a huge man, well over 400 pounds, from Venezuela who had come to Sweden looking for amnesty. For various reasons, the government decided to send him back.

The man responded by threatening to go on a hunger strike.

Well isn't that about fucking time?

If you are so overweight the scales go "to be continued" when you step on them, I'm thinking a hunger strike isn't really going to threaten anyone. Except, perhaps, McDonald's.

If he really wanted to put pressure on the Swedish government, he should have just leaned.
