EATS 'TILL HE POPS...CORN
An American competitive eater is promoting his new movie by munching his own weight in popcorn.
Crazy Legs Conti is trying to eat his way out of a telephone box-size case filled with popcorn.
The 33-year-old donned a diving mask and snorkel inside the lobby of the Manhattan cinema that showed the premiere of the film before being lowered into the "popcorn sarcophagus".
He vowed to eat his way through the 50 cubic feet of salted, buttered popcorn in about eight hours.
Conti, who runs marathons and is built like a wrestler, is no newcomer to nibbling, having won the world oyster-eating championship.
His dream is to defeat Japan's Takeru Kobayashi in the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest on New York's Coney Island, regarded as the Super Bowl of competitive eating.
"This guy is completely genuine. He is taking every action he needs to make his dream a reality," the film's director, Chris Kenneally said.
I would have to be there when the guy takes a 200 pound crap! I would also hate the be the owner of a buffet when this guy comes throught the door.
I can't stand it when someone engages in competitive eating. Who give s f--- how much of anything a person can eat? Aren't there better ways to spend your time and more productive things a person can do with his/her life?
I find it really, really dangerous. Where's the attraction into doing it?
Stumble It!
