Eating Contests Get Big - American Pride Restored After Dude Eats 66 Hot Dogs (VIDEO)
American Pride Restored After Dude Eats 66 Hot Dogs

Joy sprung though out the land as Japan’s Kobayashi’s stranglehold on this 12 minute hotdog eating suckdown sprint was broken and a new world record was set by the bloated and nauseous American, Joey Chestnut. ESPN hosted this annual event that displays the talents of these gastronomical athletes and give hope to the hungry around the world that one day they may be able to force themselves to consume food in greatly excessive quantities within a specified time for no purpose other than triggering the gag reflex in the spectators and well, because they can. 

With U.S. and world starvation, the Chinese government propping up a holocaust inducing Sudanese government and the NY Yankees going to h-ell, we have competitive eating on center stage...and I watched it all.ESPN played up the 'event' by giving it mock analysis during SportsCenter. The comments were smarmy and fun. The twelve minute event began with the crowd countdown. The record of 59 1/2 hot dogs must go down and go down hard. Kobayashi started out slow and trailed till the final three minutes, when he turned it up, catching and briefly passing Chestnut. The humongous crowd of thousands cheered its support and begged for one of these guys to throw up, making their and my day complete. Sports viewers everywhere salute Kobayashi's valiant effort to retain his six time title. Unfortunately, after a bit of backwash and spray in he final 30 seconds, the judges ruled Kobayashi had eaten ONLY 63 hot dogs, the Wuss! Chestnut had the best swallow down the strech and chowed down a record total of 66 hot dogs and buns. The number 66 has the competitive eating world on the edge of its buffet tables. I feel like throwing up after watching this schadenfreude event. The hungry world weeps in silent protest. (community.foxsports)
