now is this really sending the right message to the kids? (won't somebody PLEASE think of the children?!?) rewarding fat lazy people for doing what they do best?
to make matters more confused... the event is sponsered by ESPN... shouldn't they be promoting sports and being active? probably not, eh? seeing as they'd rather have you practicing the art of being faineant while being zombie-i-fied by watching their broadcasts...
an ESPN rep claims it'll take "extraordinary mental and physical stamina" to win but that sounds like a publisist spinning things in a good light. i feel fat(ter) and lazy just writing about this... laziness and sports just don't seem to go together... although, ESPN IS trying to convince us that poker is a "sport"...
sure... the winner gets a HDTV and a brand new recliner but if i won, i hardly think i'd be feeling good about myself.
