He devours the competition by eating 53 3/4 hot dogs in 12 minutes....ugh..

Hot Dog!!!

A 160-pound wonder from Japan set a new record by devouring a sickening 53 3/4 frankfurters in 12 minutes to win the annual Independence Day hot dog eating competition on Coney Island.

That makes me sick just thinking about it. I had one and a half dogs on my half hour lunch break and that was more than enough.

Ok, I simply cannot understate how wrong it is that ESPN broadcast this.

....and ESPN finds yet another event that gets better ratings than the NHL!

It's like a train wreck - you have to stop and watch it if you're surfing through the channels. Sounds like a programming winner to me.

At least it's somewhat comical, unlike Poker or Superdogs.

haven't eaten one hot dog since i saw pictures taken for a university biology class thesis, that showed hot dogs, baloney, a few other processed / mystery meats left in bacteria cultures.

they all developed mould but the hot dog grew hair.
