Goofball of the Week: Takeru Kobayashi

If you’re gonna get arrested, might as well be wearing a T-shirt that demands you be freed.
But that’s not the funniest part about six-time*Nathan’s International Hot Dog Eating contest*champion, Takeru ‘Free Kobi’ Kobayashi, being taken into custody on the Fourth of July. A real-life-is-better-than-script moment,*Kobayahsi had to listen to the public address announcer guide fans to the freak show, which seemingly had nothing to do with him.
Guess that’s what you get when you take the stage at a Major League Eating event amid a contract dispute with the host. You get treated like a freakish fan. Wonder if they served hot dogs during his jail*stay.
