Remember a few weeks ago when you saw that video from the National Geographic special about the couple that lives together and the dude is an adult baby? Sure you do, and it was weird and we all had a good laugh. Well, would you believe that the adult baby is on the government's tit, as well? He's been receiving SSI disability benefits for the past decade, and some people are none too pleased with that prospect.

Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican and the Senate’s top waste-watcher, asked the agency’s inspector general to look into 30-year-old Stanley T_____ and his roommate, Sandra D___, who acts as his “mother,” saying it’s not clear why they are collecting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits instead of working.

“Given that Mr. T___ is able to determine what is appropriate attire and actions in public, drive himself to complete errands, design and custom-make baby furniture to support a 350-pound adult and run an Internet support group, it is possible that he has been improperly collecting disability benefits for a period of time,” Mr. Coburn wrote in a letter Monday to Inspector General Patrick P. O'Carroll Jr.

OK, it's weird, but why pick on this guy? How many people are mooching off SSI? Hell, Judge Judy wouldn't have a career if people weren't abusing the SSI program. But let's hear how he reacts to new found publicity:

“You wanna test how damn serious I am about leaving this world, screw with my check that pays for this apartment and food. Try it. See how serious I am. I don’t care,” the California man said. “I have no problem killing myself. Take away the last thing keeping me here, and see what happens. Next time you see me on the news, it will be me in a body bag.”

Wow, he threw a little baby fit. Who saw that coming?
