Losing My Appetitie

It's only fitting that after the Anthony Weiner scandal there would be a copycat crime - yes my hale and hardy companions on the journey, it's professional hot dog eating! Can there be anything worse than this assault on our culture? These dolts jamming 50-60 tube steaks down their pieholes have got to be stopped. The 4th of July is a great day, one that is rightfully celebrated with baseball, picnics, parades and fireworks. How did rounding up 10-20 of the dumbest, most ignorant people in America and watching them slobber up their faces with crushed weiner, bun and water become part of our great National holiday? Teacher, teacher - I know !!It's because we are becoming so freakin' dumb as a nation, THAT'S WHY.

A recent study showed that @16 per cent of our kids knew who Abraham Lincoln was.No big deal - they probably know all about Joey Chestnut. What the hell is going on around here? The morons who produce and sell this junk to America via TV are making us stupider than we have a right to be. The epidemic of reality TV is to blame for most of this phenomenon - the TV folks realized how stupid we are becoming and decided to just give us more of the same slop on almost every channel, network or cable. They are happy that people tune in religiously to this aimless, mindless drivel because it becomes just a big cycle after all - the more junk they produce, the more people watch and the more that they watch, the bigger their appetite for dopey, cheap and garbage TV becomes. The guy who called TV a "vast wasteland" was clairvoyant because he had no idea how bad it would become; he probably thought having a hot dog on the 4th of July was a good thing. Leave it to Joey Chestnut and his ilk and Junk TV executives to make eating a hot dog appear so unappetizing - unless of course you are about to appear on The Biggest Loser.
