So at the 9:30 mark of the hotdog eating contest Walk On’s @ LSU turns it off.

There were patrons who were offended.

No lie. This was a corporate decision.

Unbelievable.

I imagine the contest would cause some lost appetites.

Wonder how they came to that conclusion. Unless they mean management decided so therefore the corporation decided.

I don’t think I’d have it on in a restaurant I owned or managed, but if it was on TV already I would just ask those offended not to fricking look

I doubt they were offended as much as disgusted. Look, I like the HD eating contest. But it is pretty gross and not something I’d necessarily want to watch while eating lunch.

Still, why not just turn away rather than making the restaurant change the channel?

This and Chestnut was like 20 hot dogs ahead so they didn't miss any drama.

Must have been like Clockwork Orange.

If you don’t like it, look away for the very few minutes that it’s on. Maybe others were enjoying it. I guess I should think of the children.

Nobody wants to watch people commit suicide while they eat a meal
