CSI Hot Dog Eating Contest clip uploaded
I have uploaded the hot dog eating contest from last week’s episode of CSI: Las Vegas at CSIHotDogContest.wmv (13MB 5 min). The contest is sponsored The Extreme Eating Federation and has eaters based on Tim Janus, Carlene LeFevre, Cookie Jarvis and Sonya Thomas (who does not get an introduction). The Carlene LeFevre character wins the contest (or at least holds a trophy aloft at the end). The contest announcer repeats the defintion of a competitive eating situation involving cavemen and a rabbit given by the Sheas. (Despite all these similarities, some people would probably say that the EXEF paying a cash prize to the third place finisher of a hot dog qualifier would definitely place it in the realm of fiction)

Now that’s kind of creepy. I’d be interested to hear what the eaters who have characters based on them feel abou their small-screen counterparts!

There must be something wrong with my computer – the voice track sounds like it’s running backwards. But it does look almost authentic. It is indeed a little creepy, though. SOMEONE did quite a bit of research.

Ah, I got the weird sound too, so I guess it’s not my computer then!

Sounds like the voices are drowning.

Wow, that is too funny! The IFOCE had to have been consults on the script; way too many similarities.
