Sports programming hits rock bottom!

Okay, I was able to tolerate the sports networks showing the spelling bee annually. But now they are showing competitive eating contests? Is this what our morbidly obese society has now turned to for entertainment? Should we be glorifying clogged arteries and high blood pressure when our 8 year olds kids cannot see their feet? Maybe people watch this for the same reason they watch auto racing - they are just waiting to smell death; like seeing Johnny Hotdog taking down tube steak number 53 and he clutches his chest and falls face first in his mustard. The only fat guys I want to see on my sports station are either playing football, sumo wrestling or baseball (although with all the steroids now, guys like John Kruk and Cecil Fielder are extinct - oh how we miss their large zany antics).

If I wanted to watch people eat that much meat, I hear Larry Flynt had that type of programming covered a long time ago. What a trailblazer.
