Kobayashi Arrest... Anyone Care?

[CR19]

I'm sure everyone has heard about Kobayashi's arrest during the Nathan's Hot Dog contest yesterday. It has been all over the internet and the television. My question is: does anyone really care that he was arrested?

Here's a link to the arrest video:

I don't care, but the national news sure as hell seems to. It was on all of the three morning shows I saw this morning.

Granted, I'm an admitted conspiracy theorist, but I think it was staged.

He was in a no-win situation with that... a Kobayashi Maru type situation....

Well he's got one thing in his favor. Eating skinny long things will make him popular in the joint.

Depends on who his cellmate is.

The jack-booted thug actions of the cops were as American as apple pie.

What, no taser? he was clearly resisting arrest. I would have tased his ass, at least crack him over the head with a night stick.

But seriously, this is the first I have heard about this -- I have no tv right now -- why was he arrested?

Mopery.

Mopery.

Nice.

 

[JakeandElwood]

No.

 

[HanSenSE]

He's out!

This is classic

Free Kobi!

Free Kobi!

...with the purchase of another Kobi.

Too bad Chestnut couldn't relish his victory. I was thinking someone has to ketchup to Joey to make the event watchable if Kobayashi keeps sitting on his buns. This used to be mustard see TV.

What is Kobi's beef?

I think Mizzougrad 96 is on to something here.

This has the earmarks of a confrontation choreographed by Don King and/or Vince McMahon.

Oh, and I am NOT a conspiracy theorist...

 

[DanOregon]

This is a one-day story, it received more play than it merited because it was about the only "live" news that happened on July 4th.

 

[exmediahack]

Yeah, on the news last night... the arrest was the footnote.

I came *this* close to saying, "with the arrest, his days of eating dogs may not be over after all".

When in doubt, leave it out. :)

Competitive eating is like cheerleading ... just because it's on the WWL, is it a sport?
