Proof that people who eat hot dogs for a living are indeed LOSERS.

Someone who probably puked them all up right afterward. Seriously, competitive EATING? Are our lives that soft that this is a legitimate diversion?

Mmmmmmm. I love a good Nathan's dog.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Joey Chestnut won yet Kobayashi ran up on the stage to steal his thunder?

Kobayashi should be banned from ever entering the competition again and not even allowed in the crowd as a spectator.

Some experts, including contest judge and competitive eating journalist Gersh Kuntzman, said Kobayashi's arrest is a sign the famed athlete -- who lost the prior three Nathan's contests to Chestnut -- is past his prime.

Competitive eating journalist? People actually make a living reporting this crap? Famed athlete? Freak of nature is more accurate. Seriously, where's the glory in winning an eating contest? It's like bragging about whose farts stink the most.
