Can't Stop Eating

I struggled all weekend about whether to link to this clip about 21-year-old Joe Blackburn - who suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome.

Prader-Willi is - roughly - the "can't stop eating" disease, but it also seems to be causing a whole lot of other problems for Joe - enough to make him the primary subject of the ITV documentary from where these clips were taken.

OK, so long as we all agree that although this clip is called "Funny Bits", and that you'll probably laugh throughout it at Joe's antics, and you'll probably want to watch the full 45-minute version almost immediately... as long as we agree that deep down there is nothing funny about it whatsoever...

Oh, just watch it.
