Poor Kobi. The 32 year old eating contest champion was arrested on the Fourth of July just for wanting to eat some Nathan’s hot dogs. After some contractual problems (contracts for eating?!) Kobayashi was banned from a hot dog eating contest in New York, but he decided to show up anyway to cheer on his buddies. When an overzealous crowd just couldn’t handle not seeing Kobi onstage sucking down dogs, they chanted and urged him up to climb up onstage. As soon as Kobi got onstage, he was arrested and taken to jail, where he spent the night with only a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and glass of milk.
First off, I don’t care if Kobayashi is from another country, every single person deserves to eat some Nathan’s hot dogs on the Fourth of July. EVERYONE! Second, is jail really the answer? It’s not like Kobi was waving a gun around and screaming “let me eat hot dogs or I will shoot you all!” What a waste of tax dollars. And poor Kobi was probably really hungry in the slammer with so very little to eat!
And by the way, these competitive eaters are always strangely thin. How does that work? Anyone know? Oh and for those of you who are interested, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut won the competition.
