Hot Dog Video: Kobayashi Vomits

Wow, what an exercise in gluttony. While there are many children starving for good food, people celebrate the eating (and throwing up) of numerous hot dogs (which barely qualify as good).

When is this trend going to go off the radar?

Let's face it, there's no better country than the U.S. where more food is wasted than in any other country in the world for such a disgusting and mundane way to waste food for entertainment. One rule I'd like to see enforced though, is the old army rule: if it's put on the plate in front of you for your consumption at your request, you must eat it; if you have to vomit 15 times before you get the last one down. OR you must donate the total price of every dog you ate before you threw up and for every dog you left on the plate to be wasted to a charity that donates for goods for children. Pardon the pun, but if people choose to waste the lemons of life, turn them into lemonade for someone who needs it.

A few years ago a student a Chico State University in California died in a freak fraternity hazing incident for consuming too much...water. The human body was not designed to consume 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes. This hot dog contest has received way too much attention, and I can just imagine that copycat pranks could invite the same sort of tragedy that befell Chico State in the water incident. This hot dog eating contest is just a bad idea.

yeah, because i'm sure starving kids would be able to eat hot dogs without throwing up. their bodies are so malnourished the last thing they should be eating is hot dogs.

Give me a break! Joey CNUT RULES!!
People, if you can't have a little fun in life, is it really worth living? I am sorry people are starving in the world, I truly am, but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy a guy stuffing 60+ hotdogs into his mouth......

I wish for one event in history we can get past our self-righteousness and just have fun. Is it necessary to point out that there is someone starving in this world every time we spend our money foolishly, or do something like a food eating contest. Lighten up people. When I was watching the food contest I was utterly amased by these two guys and what their body went through to eat 66 and 63 hot dogs. And I was impressed that it was a new world's record. See the world for all the good that is in it, not just what you see as waste, because this is something you are not interested in. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Are these real beef or turkey hot dogs or the run of the mill "lips and assholes" kind ?

In response to #6: If you consider watching other people gorge themselves on a product that's almost food "fun," then is your life really worth living?

Oh, and #7... you're just a moron.

"See the world for all the good that is in it."

What- How- ...I don't even know what to say in response to that blatant display of idiocy.

If these so-called "athletes" had any brains........they would realize just how much damage they are doing to themselves. I couldn't imagine ANY of my friends or family cheering me on..............thankfully!

#11. Lighten up. It's just a frickin' Hot Dog eating contest for crying out loud. It is not going to change the state of mankind or stop global warming if we abolish all hot dog eating contests. Try to have some fun once it a while. Sheesh.

Hey, here's smething for all you wh say "starving children, etc...If you are so concerned with it, why are you on your computer. You could sell your computer for th price of an airline ticket to Kenya, Somalia, or Ethyopia andgo feed them. I do my part. Get to it.

Tell us #5, in all your wisdom, what starving children should eat (because I doubt they would complain about being fed hot dogs if they are starving). These contests are a disgrace. How many hungry people in this country could be fed with the food and money that goes into that contest?

Siome individuals are so filled with guilt and self loathing that they can't see anybody else enjoying themselves at a Hot Dog Contest, Atlantic City, a ballgame, etc. They should get a life for themselves!
