PETA Also Defeated @ Yesterday's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest; CNN Bummed U.S. Won

By Debbie Schlussel

As readers--and anyone watching the news, yesterday--know, Joey Chestnut and America reclaimed the Mustard Belt from Takeru Kobayashi and Japan in yesterday's Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Competition. Chestnut ate an average of one hot dog for every 10.9 seconds and ingested over 20,000 calories and 1400 grams of fat in the 12 minute contest. (Did not know that "competitive eating" has its own version of baseballs RBIs: HDBs--Hot Dogs and Buns eaten.)

But what you didn't see in ANY media outlets (except this one) is that PETA--or as I prefer to call them, People for the Unethical Treatment of Animals and humans (PUTAh)--was there and got defeated, too. PETA protesters signs were lowered to the ground and stood upon, like Saddam's statue. Why must these anti-Meat jihadists ruin every fun event? Our loyal reader and correspondent, "ThereIsNoSantaClaus," was there, yesterday, with his wife and gives us photos (below) and this report:

Hi Deb! I'm writing from midtown Manhatten. My wife and I went to Coney Island today for the big hot-dog-eating contest. What fun!

PETA was there to protest the event. Nobody really got upset but their signs were blocking the view. So just before the event started, they took the signs from the PETA people and put them on the ground where the crowd stood on them. Everyone took it in good sport.

And of course, Joey Chestnut brought the trophy back to America with a world record.

It was a great show. You gotta go to one of these some day.

Attention, PETA: Meat. It's what's for dinner.

FYI, If you were watching CNN, however, you got to see the anchors bummed out that America recaptured the hot dog eating crown. Reader Brian says that CNN anchors couldn't believe America won and declared Japan's Kobayashi the winner. They were stunned when the results were otherwise. He writes, "CNN is the Borat of televised news."

Yup.

Debbie, I watched the contest and it was really gross, especially the instant replay on Kobe's last moments in battle. I haven't eaten a treif hot dog in many years now. Maybe if they get kosher low fat dogs I could enter and then you'd dig me.

Only in Amerikkka can gluttony become a sport...and you failed to mention that Kobayashi was hampered by a wisdom tooth extraction---in a "contest" like this that's akin to Secretariat running the Belmont with only three legs!

Noticed you Mexicanism for PETA:)

I love hot dogs, especially cheddar wurst, yum! I can't watch the eating contests though, especially with overweight people, I just feel sad for them. Anywho, PETA sucks and wants to take the fun out of everything. But the joke is on them, I read a very interesting article about soy and how the benefits are all hype by the food industry. Soy, an alternative for vegans comes with all sorts of health issues and lowers testosterone in men, no wonder all the hippie men are girlie-men! The whole article on soy can be found below for anyone interested. I suppose the good thing is that it lowers libido and sperm count so these vegans won't procreate very much.

There is something very seriously wrong with someone who's "claim to fame" is how much meat (or whatever) they can cram down their gullet without throwing up.

Of course I guess it's not as bad as Ted Nugent's "competitive sport" of how much pi$$ and $hit he can accumulate in his pants.

Like the man said "It's all relative".

in peta's defense, hot dogs are usually made from the leftover "junk" meat after the rest has been used in more quality cuts (the exception being kosher and organic hot dogs--not sure if nathan's are), and they, like most commercial meat, come from large industrial farms which mistreat cattle.

PETA - "Pinheads Exercising Tongue in Ass". This country was built on beef, not lettuce! So what if the numbnuts from Nippon had a wisdom tooth extraction...BFD. I wonder what his Samurai ancestors would say about that?

Oh yes, and only in America can by-products of incest like Enemabag have the freedom to pinch off vocal turds about "...gluttony becoming a sport." Try doing that anywhere else in this world and see how many days you have left to breathe our air.

Why doesn't PETA start a soy dog eating contest of their own and see how many contestants they'll draw?If this hot dog contest really perturbs them to the core, then they should play fire with fire. No body pays heed to constant bitching. Though, the prospect of comsuming excess amount of tofu does sound rather lame and they're most likely not going to be able to encourage much participation in their soy festivities. Try digesting that bit if you are immune to it. If, not, have a stomach pump ready.From hereon, I decided to change the acronym of PETA to PUTH (People for Unethical Treatment of Humans). Hitler was a vegan afterall. He took his pets to a vet if they needed medical care but if one of the concentration camp inmates caught a cold, he/she was sent to the ovens or to Dr. Mengele for experimentation. My estimation is PUTH doesn't really differ from the nazis by much. It doesn't bother them to see Al Qaeda saw off a head of a living human being while chanting to their devil called "Allah", but they will go bezerk over a hot dog eating contest. This is dementia at work.

Debbie, there is something seriously wrong with a society that applauds gluttony contests and in the same breath moans that we are an increasingly obese nation; a society that cheers on a table surrounded with people stuffing food down their throats until they puke. Or am I missing something here? Guess I'm too much of an "old poop" who remembers the days of something called "decorum"...or "class". Hmmmm. No doubt opening myself to much criticism for not "getting it"...oh well, such is life as an "old poop". Never cared for all the gratuitous strife on "All in the Family" or Carroll O'Connor's politics, but I can easily hear him and Jean Stapleton singing "Those were the daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays!". Sad.

Boo hoo hoo, all you whiners and sissies.

If some goof wants to stuff a zillion hot dogs down his throat, more power to him.

I can't wait till my vacation next month to Los Angeles/Hollywood so I can stop in for some of the best hot dogs in the world, Pink's Hot Dogs!!

When did America become a nation of busy bodies?

Almost every cable news program has some pinhead on that lectures us about ;

What we can and cannot eat.

What we can and cannot drink.

What we can and cannot smoke, viciously demonizing anyone that chooses to partake in a Legal Tobacco Product

What drugs you can and cannot take.

What has happened to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit Of Happiness?

I buy Nathan hotdogs all the time at my local Grocery store so stick that up your PETA you busy bodies of or the world.
