Slow News Day
I’ve just turned Sky+ off to be confronted by the BBC News 24 service broadcasting on BBC 1. One of the stories on the news ticker was (and I quote):
Joey “Jaws” Chestnut eats 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes at the annual contest in New York, shattering his old record of 66.
What the hell have I been drinking? A hot dog eating championship being reported by BBC News?
Today must be a slow news day.
