Nicky “Corndog” Cannon Goofing It Up At The Annual Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest (Photos)

Nick Cannon took a break from MiMi and #DemBabies to host a hot dog eating contest this 4th of July… here’s more details on the event: Capping a week when a new scientific report concluded that Americans were eating more, and more frequently, it took 10 minutes and 62 hot dogs for Joey Chestnut to win his fifth consecutive Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, N.Y. Retaining the Mustard Belt once again, Chestnut of San Jose, Calif., has dominated the competition. He set the all-time record in 2009, downing 68 hot dogs and buns, the equivalent of 21,000 calories, in 10 minutes. For the first time, Nathan’s sponsored separate competitions for men and women. Sonya Thomas of Alexandria, Va., took the Pepto-Bismol Pink Belt title in the first-ever competition for women, eating 40 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, one shy of her 2009 record. The 100-pound woman never stopped moving during the contest, constantly bouncing and twisting her way to victory. She shoved hot dogs in her mouth with one hand, while cradling a cup of liquid to wash them down with the other. Her jaws and teeth shredded the sausages as if they were saplings being fed into a wood chipper. Thomas, also known as “The Black Widow,” was the odds-on favorite going into the contest. She set the women’s record in 2009 by eating 41 hot dogs and buns during the joint competition. The women’s runner-up was rail-thin Juliet Lee — “the Pippa Middleton of Maryland” — and Michelle Lesco came in third. “I got the hiccups,” she said in her post-contest stage interview. 21,000 calories???? That’s disgusting. Source

The Swirl: SMH At These Folks Acting Astonished That Chinese Men Are Now Wifing Up African Women!

Asian women getting chop down action or even getting wifed up by brothers is nothing new, but some folks are acting brand new about the so-called phenomenon of Chinese men marrying African women. One of our faithful readers sent us this post on ChinaSmack.com about Chinese men wifing up African women and we found some of the comments disturbing: Chinese women marrying blacks is no longer something rare, whereas in comparison men very rarely dare to bring black girls back home to China. I won’t say anything and go ahead and post the photos. In my neighborhood is a Chinese engineer who returned from Angola, and his wife is a black girl. However, she’s one of those very pretty high-end black girls. She’s very slender and not one of those fat auntie types. Her skin also isn’t the kind of oily/greasy black but rather black-brownish and more brown. They have two children, about five or six years old, twin boys. As for their appearance, unfortunately, the father’s genes were really too strong. Aside from their skin being slightly darker, their faces look very much like their daddy. Large-scale marrying of African women can effectively solve China’s male-female sex-ratio imbalance problem! More photos and comments on the next page…

The Unpaid Photo-Intern Backlash

Fancy-schmancy award-winning photojournalist James Nachtwey put up a demanding ad for an unpaid lackey (pretty much specifying rich kids only). Instead of lapping it up like starved dogs, New York’s photographic community lashed out. Here’s the ad – which asks for some (apparently) pretty high-end skills and then adds: The internship is unpaid, so please be financially prepared to participate in this program
