  • mediaspree, on 07/05/2008, -5/+43Kobayashi has fallen from grace. USA! USA! Yeah, we're good at overeating.
  • drakelord, on 07/05/2008, -1/+31I like how these record guys are skinny as heck.
  • blackjack75, on 07/05/2008, -3/+28That record must soooo get him laid.

    That's assuming hot bitches like hot dogs.
  • Kumaku, on 07/05/2008, -1/+21USA! USA!
  • chubbybubba, on 07/05/2008, -1/+20Paris Hilton was born for this.
  • rebirf, on 07/05/2008, -0/+18Kobayashi is ***** ripped.
  • mrgeekguy, on 07/05/2008, -0/+14I only ate two hot dogs yesterday. I feel like such a quitter.
  • ThrobbingBrain, on 07/05/2008, -1/+14Obesity has nothing to do with any eating contest. Joey Chestnut isn't fat by any means.
    I was watching a show on the Discovery Channel (or a similar channel) that said being fat actually hindered a contestant's ability to consume large amounts of food. It was something to do with belly fat pressing against the stomach, preventing it from expanding as much as a thin contestant's stomach would.
  • oconnill, on 07/05/2008, -6/+19you know what kinds of food are shaped like dicks, the best kind.
  • Spartyon, on 07/05/2008, -2/+11joey chestnut is america.
  • DeFex, on 07/05/2008, -0/+8Its good to see some sports on the front page.
  • bicyclethief, on 07/05/2008, -0/+8Hey, it's not everyday you meet someone who's gone head-to-head in an eating contest against a bear.
  • gonzoceltic, on 07/05/2008, -0/+7Actually, SolituSneiku, you're wrong. Australia passed up the United States in the Most Obese Country in the World a few weeks ago.
  • lupka, on 07/05/2008, -2/+9Go America. We finally won our own competition on our nation's birthday.
  • xlneoMAXlx, on 07/05/2008, -0/+6Australia was recently given the title of most obese.
  • inactive, on 07/05/2008, -0/+6the headline isn't even slightly similar
  • inactive, on 07/05/2008, -0/+6...and they must have to get an epidural to take a ***** the next day.
  • SirReally, on 07/05/2008, -0/+6...but not delivered.
  • elnerdo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+6No he wasn't. He barely even speaks English. In fact, he took his loss very well. I felt bad about booing him. He said "Thank you for your support. I love you all" after it.
  • 76Cents, on 07/05/2008, -1/+6reference to super bad
  • JoeHague, on 07/05/2008, -3/+8/ Debbie Downer
  • elnerdo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4I was there. One of the girls, (A rookie this year) weighed 105 pounds. She was INCREDIBLY skinny. It was scary that she still managed to eat 20-some hot dogs.
  • navghtivs, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4This is disgusting.
  • elnerdo, on 07/05/2008, -1/+5Well, to be fair, this eating contest is less wasteful than ONE baseball game. (Think of how much food is wasted in those stands. Think of how much money those players get) The prize for the hot dog eating competition was nominal, and before the competition, Nathan's made a large donation (Of hot dogs) to the NYC food banks. It's not all so bad.
  • ZimbuTheMonkey, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4Yeah, I also got the impression that he meant to say hot dogs. Maybe I missed something, I'm not sure.
  • Maver1c, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4"and nobody wins."
  • T440, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4Chestnut always looks like he gonna vomit during competition...it's sick to watch.
  • EvilCan, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4We won it last year.
  • EvilCan, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4I'm pretty sure he meant hot dogs.
