KOBAYASHI!!

Joey ChestnutThe greatness of this little 165 lb. Japanese man made competitive eating impossible to ignore, and for 6 years he was impossible to beat. But Kobayashi has finally been defeated at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. How did a new winner emerge?

By eating 33 feet worth of hot dog!

I know some think this is cool or funny, but for the life I just don't get it. ESPN actually had sports commentators doing play-by-play of imbeciles shoving Hot Dogs down their gullets! I am not that old, but I guess I am old fashioned. I was changing stations and watched this for about 20 seconds and found it stupid and repulsive. Am I alone? Isn't this just about the most stupid thing on TV outside of "Are you Smarter then a 5th Grader?"
