Joey Chestnut guns down animal rights protester while winning hot dog eating contest

Hot dog eating champion Joey Chestnut managed to take down an animal rights protester while setting a new hot dog eating record on Monday.

At Chestnut’s 15th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, a contest he won by 20 hot dogs as he almost quietly put down 63 dogs, an animal rights protester wearing a Darth Vader mask charged the stage and tried to steal the show from Chestnut. The hot dog-eating champ casually turned around, put Dark in a headache, and showed that the force was indeed strong within him.

The sign said “EXPOSE SMITHFIELD DEATHSTAR”. The sign appears to be a reference to an animal rights situation in Utah. Either way, he might want to protest elsewhere.
