Kobayashi, ex hot dog eating champ arrested

Kobayashi has apparently been arrested at Coney Island for contract reasons. I was interested to see how he did this year, as ever since he injured his jaw in 2007 Joey Chestnut has out performed him hot dog for hot dog.

I'm not sure what I'm more revolted by, somebody caring about a ****ing eating competition, or the fact there are enough of said people such that the Americans (in their traditional way) have created a federation for them.

Same here, skimmed the title and just saw the name and arrested. Still quite a funny story.

Someones never entered an eating competition.

I did an all you can eat pork pie competition once. And I've done a stinging nettle one.
Great fun. won a pint of cider on the latter.

If they enjoy doing it, whats so revolting? Or does it interfere with your ideals.

I thought it was Pete Postlethwaite in the usual suspects
