This week's image depicts professional eater Takeru Kobayashi being detained by law enforcement officials on the Fourth of July. Kobayashi, widely recognized as the second best eater in the world, held out from the Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest this year after negotiations with Major League Eating ground to a halt. Instead of completing boycotting the event, Kobayashi attended the competition at Coney Island to watch from the crowd. During the awards ceremony, Kobayashi rushed the stage. Police officers quickly grabbed him and easily dragged the 132 pound (pre-competition weight) native of Japan off the stage. Kobayashi, wearing a "Free Kobi" shirt, valiantly resisted the arrest, prompting the eating fans to chant "Let Him Eat!" He has since been charged with resisting arrest, trespassing, and obstructing governmental administration. The guru would like to withhold comments on the incident.
