I just finished reading Artie Lange’s Too Fat to Fish and whatever sympathy i may have had for the former Stern Show comic is now totally gone. If you loved Artie on the show, then i would recommend NOT picking up this book.
In a nutshell, Artie is a drug addict. Odds are, even after his latest attempted suicide, that he is STILL a drug addict. Addiction of course is a sad thing, and you want to see people shake it. Artie however, despite being given like a hundred chances to get clean, didn’t. This book more or less talks about all the times that he told family and friends he was getting clean, but actually wasn’t. It was a depressing read, and the only reason i finished it was because i felt like my time would have been completely wasted had i NOT saw it through to the end.
I hope Artie does get clean one day, but i am sad to say i don’t think it will ever happen.

So you don’t like him because he’s got a drug problem? That changed your entire opinion?
You’re a fucking idiot.
Thanks for the comment, it would have been nice if you read the post though.
I didn’t say i ‘hated’ him, i said i lost any sympathy for him. I don’t know if you read the book, but if you did, you’d know that Artie had time and time AND TIME again to make a change in his life. He is a guy that has some level of talent, but no respect for himself or others. I liked him a hell of a lot more before reading about how he has pissed away his life.
But thanks for the comment nonetheless.
