I was flipping around and ESPN2 had something called the US Open of Competitive Eating. That's right: they not only made a "sport" out of eating but made it into a televised spectacle.
To hype an event that glorifies gluttony, particularly when there's a famine in West Africa, is distasteful (no pun intended) even by the low standards of television.
Maybe ESPN should donate some of the leftover food from this pig fest to the starving folks in Niger.
