Why does the world even exist?

A fat kid in America has choked to death during a hotdog eating contest. TO RAISE. MONEY. FOR HAITI.

'contestants had to eat a hot dog covered in whipped cream to win a candy prize.'

Ok so, how can we tastefully raise money to provide food and medicine for a country who's infrastructure has been wiped out by earthquakes. I know, lets eat junk food, first one to eat their junk food wins more junk food. They could have at least used a more appropriate food, like jelly or upside-down cake, or only bring enough hotdogs for about 1/10th of the kids, and then make them fight each other for it. Why stop there, why not get a fucking bouncy castle and charge admittance? How about a water balloon fight to raise money for tsunami victims too while we're at it?

It's wrong to laugh though, after all somebody died. A very stupid somebody who came from a culture of very stupid people who laude eating what is essentially ground up pig stuffed into a 18th century condom. That's not entirely fair though, I'm sure the boy was very bright.
Apparently, 'Noah was a regular club attendee, where he was part of a college-bound program.' And people moan about university admittance being to easy in this country, at least our undergrads know how to fucking ingest food.

Besides which, why should I be expected not to laugh when even the news site I'm stealing this from doesn't take the story seriously. You click play on the video and get some coked up yank gushing on about it being valentines day and how you can get a million roses for 10 dollars from this florist or some shit. They could at least do appropriate adverts for the story at hand, advertising wreaths for example.


Anyway here's the link if you don't believe me, now I'm off to do a sponsored skydive to raise money for the Samaritans.
