WE'RE TAKING OVER THIS TOOOOWWWWNNNN!!!

Maybe, just MAYBE...I'm being a bit over zealous, but alas, so are aspects of my personality!

Hello! I'm TuRbO! The other half of Culture Shock! Karen Killawatt CLAIMS that I am fun to work with. Well I CLAIM that she is an occasional liar. She deserves a Gold Medal in tolerance.

However!

You're probably reading this because you are:

A) a friend or family member
B) a fan of the show
C) a faculty member
D) a potential employer
E) Codles Kabojo.

If you wanna find out who Codles Kabojo is (the most loveable character on the planet), you'll have to call into the show.

Either way, thanks for taking the time to read. Moving forward we'll be updating the blog weekly, most likely recounting the past show. I believe it's to work like a "he said, she said" format, so if you have any questions (tasteful ones!) or would like to leave comments and critiques, please feel free to do so. Any other topics are welcome, just ask away! :)

This week we covered Fair Food and Competitive Eating. For me, the current evolution of Fair Food is absolutely out of control. Fried EVERYTHING. Snickers, Twinkies, Oreo's, the list goes on and on. Need I mention that most, if not all are topped by powdered sugar? Wow. Sadly, as grossed out by it as I am...I'd probably try one of em' if people weren't watching. And then feel depressed about it on my walk back to my vehicle before I died of a heart attack. But MAN was it good! OM NOM NOM NOM.

The other half of the show was about Competitive Eating contest and certain world records that are held. It's insane! The way in which some of these people are celebrated has me questioning a lot about the people that participate and support these events. These people TRAIN for this. It's not just a county fair pie eating contest. Personally, I feel that it's shameful activity. It's borders insulting not only to the hungry that live in our country, but to people in other countries. It's the ultimate in display of food excess and gluttony. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh?

Well please, respond. I celebrate engaging debate and conversation and would love to read a counter-response. I would love for someone to make a point supporting competitive eating. My opinions and ideas are certainly subject to evolution, and I may very well be guilty of keeping something out of consideration as it pertains to both topics. What are your thoughts?

p.s. If you heard the show, was it as bad as Karen and I thought it was?
