Perhaps you have seen the pictures in the newspaper of the latest testament to overindulgence in North America? No? This past Monday a Pennsylvania man spent 4 hours and 39 minutes eating a 20 pound hamburger! Why? "I wanted to see if I could," was his brilliant response.
Apparently homelessness, poverty and hunger have taken a backseat to this incredibly gluttonous genius' selfishness. What other possible reason could make someone eat that much food in an attempt to 'see if they could'? How many people could that hamburger fed? How much wasted food is produced by someone who fails to finish? Why would a restaurant even consider such a hair brained promotion? Why not give the money spent on producing this monstrosity to charity? The questions raised by this stunt boggle the mind.
Oh, and what did the king of gluttony win for his 'successful' feat? Four hundred dollars, 3 t-shirts and a certificate. I hope you're proud of yourself pal. I'm not sure I could be.
