World Records - New record set in hot dog eating competition

For the sixth year in a row, Japan's Takeru Kobayashi wins Nathan's international hot dog eating competition, while setting a new record by devouring 53 3/4 hot-dogs in 12 minutes. A crowd of 25,000 watched 27-year-old Kobayashi take his sixth annual July 4 hot-dog eating title at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York. His arch rival Joey Chestnut from San Jose, California, managed 52 hot-dogs. www.itnsource.com Rtv1157906

1. When I think about poor african and asian countries, I find this extremely offensive.
2. I am sorry but even in the most recent competitions, Joey Chestnut CHEATS at the end. He shovels a bunch of food in his hand and then puts his hand over his mouth to simulate him "trying to keep the food in his mouth and not throw up" but he really had a bunch of extra food in his hand and he puts it in as the announcer is distracted. He cheats, and that isn't fair. I know a lot of people do this as well, but when you are ranked "Number 1" in the world, you should take pride in that and NOT CHEAT. You would not see Matt Stonie do this, EVER. Yes, he does cover his mouth in the end, but whatever food he picks up in the last seconds gets shoved in his mouth before the time is up, unlike Joey. Matt simply has his hand on his mouth in the end to keep the food that he stuffed in his mouth inside of his mouth, that and he is probably nauseous as hell. Joey cheats at the end, end of story, and I don't care what anyone says. I have watched many videos and went over and over to try and see what Joey does in the end, and I am 150% SURE he CHEATS!
