I don't know if I'd call this a stub, since it's likely all the info we're likely to get on Fat Bastard.

[edit] Fat Bastard Disabmbiguation Page?

Given the new article FAT bastard (Wine) it might perhaps be useful to create a Fat Bastard disambiguation page? Linking to both this article on Fat Bastard and the wine FAT bastard. Just a thought. Deskana 23:58, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted content

I deleted this line because it was hopelessly POV as presented: "His depiction as an overweight person while comedic is very stereotypical and has been found to be offensive to several overweight viewers of Austin Powers' films."
