Via Eater and Serious Eats, here is the utterly disgusting but train-wreckesque can't-look-away trailer for the upcoming competitive-eating video game for the Wii. Not exactly NSFW, but your co-workers might think less of you if they see you watching this.

Actually, there's a lot more to competitive eaters than disgusting, train-wreck gluttony. There's also unconscionable greed. Check out this video of competitive eater Erik Denmark engaging in an economics debate while shoveling food into his mouth

Also, I'm surprised there was no mention of this games predecessor, Burgertime for the NES. In spite of also encouraging rampant consumerism, at least that game had a message : no matter how many Burgers you make in your life, someday the hotdogs will murder you.
You are wrong. Best thing ever!
