Competetive eating

[johnnybeef]

Lately, ESPN has been playing a lot of competetive eating contests. Am I the only person who finds this new fad disgusting?

It's absolutely disgusting from a spectator's standpoint...but if some fatties want to make a few bucks doing what they'd normally be doing for free, more power to them.

I think it's disgusting, but less so than The Real World.

I'm surprised that eating contests get ratings.

He's the exception. Most of the guys on the competitive eating circuit are pushing at least 3 or 4 bills.

I find it entertaining. My favorite ones are the mayonaise specialists.

It's on right now...I just can't stop watching, it's like a car wreck.

This guy fascinates me. I don't even see how its possible. How does someone 130 lbs fit 55 hot dogs in their stomach?

Actually, what's ironic is that the three top "eaters" are all small, some Japanese dude who eats like a million hot dogs, a small Asian girl who eats a little less than a million, and some skinny white guy who eats about half a million.

You really would have thought that the big people would excel at this "sport"...
