Why she might be annoying:

    She stood 4'11 and weighed 478 pounds.
    She sat on a couch for six years, so long that her skin became one with the fabric.
    She died at the hospital from what was essentially a huge bedsore, still attached to the sofa.
    Her home was so filthy that rescue workers had to wear protective gear.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She inspired an episode of 'Nip/Tuck' and a one-woman show by Topher Payne.
    She died a few weeks before her birthday.
    Many people saw her story as calling attention to problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
