Local Man Brings Shame on Family Name, Community

Local Man Brings Shame on Family Name, Community
By now all the major media outlets have fully digested the story on 105 pound Sonya Thomas who recently out ate the competition in Buffalo’s annual wing eating contest. But only The Ithaca Journal’s “Neighbors Weekly” fronted this gem. (Subscription required)

Apparently Scott McClintock jumped into 30 gallons of blue cheese (side note: gross) in order to “bob for chicken wings.” Now it takes a certain type of person to attend a wing eating competition, and another entirely different type of person to dip them selves into blue cheese. A quick google search reveals that McClintock was a Hotelie undergrad at Cornell, then directed something called Hill House for a few years, and is now pursuing an MBA from the Johnson school.

What is the point of going to business school if 9 of your top 10 Google hits have to do with you dunking your obese body in fat sauce? How can you ever go on a date? How can you look another man in the eye, or look at yourself in the mirror?

Bonus: They also fronted the new movie theatre and mall makeover. Sorry Ithaca Journal, but we "scooped" you.
