Na I haven't heard of this humungus person, its just someone who died eating too much from the looks of it. Still don't know how this got onto front page to be honest.
The idea might of been nice for those who knew him and understands this "humour" but in the end the effort put into this was still quite poor. I have seen gross humor before and to be honest I don't see much humour in this piece, I suppose it was put off by the animation.
