Having said that, I got a real problem with the whole competitive eating freak show phenomenon. Making a commercialized spectacle of human beings eating as much as they possibly can even though they aren’t hungry is borderline insane. Even worse, it’s in such poor taste considering people in other parts of the world are lacking food or starving. How oblivious to one’s surroundings can people be? People are dying of starvation but this is somehow recreation, deemed a “sport.” The erosion of values, look no further than these adults stuffing themselves like pigs and the morons cheering them on as if they’re doing something great. Give me a fucking break. I don’t even give a shit that this isn’t the forum to bring this stuff up, this drives me nuts.

and I’m definitely not perfect. But it’s not immoral to criticize things you feel are wrong. It’s not like I’m directly blaming competitive eaters for causing famine halfway across the globe. I just think it’s in bad taste and a generally unnecessary institution, as in, I don’t understand what it contributes to the world. If people find it entertaining to watch other people put pigs to shame then fine. Maybe basketball players are overpaid, maybe not, but the money they make and the taxes they pay end up back in the economy one way or another, and sports is a great equalizer for people of different backgrounds to come together. Not to mention the great talent. People stuffing their faces, while America is the most obese country in the world and millions of others don’t have enough to eat seems distorted to me. That’s all. Go Bulls.
