I know millions of people enjoy this, but it just makes me groan

Last week at Nathan's Hot Dogs annual contest, Joey Chestnut ate 68 hot dogs in ten minutes, setting a new 'world record'. Around 30,000 attended the event, with millions more watching on ESPN's national broadcast:



That such a celebration goes on annually, while on the same day millions of children cry themselves to sleep for lack of the most basic nourishment and clean water, has to be an indication that something is profoundly broken in this world.

But one day justice will roll down like waters...

(Why should we groan?)
