The world-champion wiener eater may have bitten his last dog:

I for one don't have much sympathy for this guy, or for any other "competitive eater". Stuffing nine packages' worth of franks in your gob isn't "competition", it's gluttony.

Does anyone find anything socially redeeming about this activity?

When I read the topic title, I got a picture in my head of a man coming across a snarling Rottweiler, whereupon the man lunged at the dog, bit into his/her leg and shouted something to the effect of, "Take that, bitch!"

...That would've been a cool topic.

That is unless he finds a troubled young protege to teach his secrets and then to have that protege defeat the best champion trained by his arch-rival in order to attain justice for his master and make the young tough in to a true champion of competitive eating.

The best champion would probably cheat in the finals but.....his girlfriend, who only goes out with him because, well for plot purposes really, lets the young protege know at the last moment that she actually loves him, thus giving him the strength to overcome the cheating and win.

Also, he will probably have accidently first met said girlfriend whilst she was naked. Then she'll have catapulted him for miles with a killer punch. Rinse and repeat.

Eh, don't condemn the guy. Condemn the people that organize and idolize these competitions.

In other words.. don't playa', hate the game.

sounds like a plot for an upcoming Disney channel movie.
