Travel Channel - Man vs Food - wuddaya think?

[Stinky The Clown]

The premise is simple. A young man not yet old enough to have sufficiently abused his body as to require hospitalization gorges himself by overeating to the point of nearly vomiting. This is repeated at least twice per 30 minute episode. He is sometimes joined in this disgustingly gluttonous display by some hapless local who also eats himself sick.

I find the show disgustingly fascinating.

When I was a far younger, pre-adolescent clown, I used to think pro wrestling was on the level and that Bruno San Martino was a real super hero, so what do I know?

1. I used to find it oddly fascinating. Now I think of the potential medical disasters.

So I can't watch it. I be a wuss.

2. When he ate all that hot stuff,

all I could think of was tomorrow is gonna be another day.:nuke:

3. It's how I want to spend

my last week on earth. :D

4. I love it

He's smart, wry, and owned by his mother - not really, but it was cute when she showed up.

Normally, I'd be disgusted, but there's something very appealing about this kid and his approach to the whole absurd idea of gluttony. Who doesn't want to watch the python swallow the pig?

Do you mean that pro wrestling is somehow NOT ON THE LEVEL???????

[Lorax]

5. I can't watch it.

If I wanted to watch people eat like that, I'd sit down for dinner with some members of my family. I can't do it.

7. Just go to one of those "all you can eat" buffet restaurants.

My dad used to call it "the hog trough." Most of the customers were enormously obese and most of them seemed to be having a contest with previous records for sheer poundage of food shoved down their throats.

6. I like the restaurant tours

before the main event, he visits some of the noted restaurants in the area. I like that part of the show. :9

8. I think I can close my eyes and figure he is on cholestrol meds WAY before he is 40

and certainly a heart attack candidate

Guy Fieri takes bites...this kid eats it ALL.
