Eat this

Only in America.

I knew that eating competitions were getting more popular, but this is ridiculous. Who watches this crap? Is there really enough interest to create a League?

Those that participate are called "Gastric Athletes." Doesn't an athlete need to actually be relatively athletic? Even Baseball players need to be somewhat athletic.

Are we this hard-up for entertainment that we'll watch people stuff their faces as quickly as possible? Apparently so, considering all the reality TV crap that gets green-lit these days.

Though if I had to choose, reality wins every time. Does anyone want to watch the guy above "compete"?
