Bill Maher’s C.E. rule plagiarized
From Real Time with Bill Maher, August 19, 2005:
New Rule: Competitive eating isn’t a sport. It’s one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What’s next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They’re already doing that. It’s called “The Howard Stern Show.”
From Jim’s Jottings column by Jim Sherman, Sr.

What’s next, competitive wind breaking? Oh, wait, they’re already doing that on way too many shows.

I think that was actually Bill Maher, not George Carlin.

Isn’t plagiarism the deadly sin of journalism.

Wouldn’t boxing be one of the seven deadly sins as well?
In any respect… if we’re doing sports based on 7 deadly sins, then sign me up for the one on lust!
