Cockroach Eating Contests

[Zimmy]

So my girlfriend, who used to be a zookeeper at a 6 Flags told me about this... Apparently last fall it was back by popular demand... I'm not sure what is worse, that it was popular or that someone, somewhere, probably in a team meeting said, "I had the best idea!" It is even possible that they had a power point and marketing details...

My girlfriend insists that I point out that she was not at this particular 6 Flags.

Various Six Flags parks have been doing this for YEARS now. I remember seeing Six Flags St. Louis advertising it nearly a decade ago.

Doesn't make it any less disturbing... Frankly it makes it MORE disturbing.

Thanks, I hate it.

People are talking about Six Flags. Marketing objective accomplished.

Plus, this helps increase acceptance of the merits of a cheap, sustainable, protein source, even though it isn't common in western diets. That should make some people happy. (Maybe not PETA, but...)

If you're trying to make a case for the addition of a vomit emoji on this forum, you have my vote. And I now like Six Flags even less than I did before.
