No joke. The Wilmington (Delaware) BlueRocks baseball team is running a contest to name this “creation” which will be sold at their ballpark this summer. It's a collaboration with a local KK shop and the team. The lucky winner will get, among other things, $50 in Stadium Bucks to use towards Donut Dogs. The contest closes on March 17.
Good morning 99percenters!
What would you call a hot dog covered in raspberry jam and bacon served on a Krispy Kreme donut bun?

I'd call it disgusting
Krispy Kreme has local roots. Every year there is a new Krispy Kreme concoction @ the state fair. They served bacon cheeseburgers using donuts as the bun. One of my buddy's kids ate one and got sick. If a kid's stomach can't handle it, just think what it would do to one of us. I am thinking technicolor yawn.

You took the words
right out of my mouth. I can see a donut with bacon on it, but the hot dog part is disgusting.
I would never venture to even try a bite.

I don't get
the appeal either. I couldn't tell you when I last ate a hot dog. I think a piece of bacon belongs next to an egg or inside a turkey sandwich.
I've never tried a KK donut. They are sold around here in some of the grocery stores but in boxes of six. I'm curious about the texture of the dough, but that heavy sugar glaze makes me think I couldn't eat more than a bite or two.
At least it's giving us something to laugh and talk about.

They are just a glazed donut
yeast dough, boil in grease. The stores often feature a conveyor with dough going into grease on one end, another conveyor for grease exit and then under a shower of sugar glaze.

Run from the NC State clock tower, to the original Krispy Kreme, scarf a dozen donuts and run back. The race course is lined with ...

I'll give 'em kudos
for raising money for a good cause. But I might not eat for the rest of the day after just thinking about all those donuts. Then again I don't "get" any of those eating competitions. I guess a lot of people do though as Travel Channel has a show called Man vs. Food where some guy goes around and does food challenges at reastaurants. Drink two gallons of milkshake in an hour. Eat 20 dozen oysters in an hour. Eat 80 ounces of steak, five potatoes and four bowls of broccoli.

Greasy glazed fruit phallus.

I'd call it the TEOTWAWKI
The end of the world as we know it.
I can barely stand to look at it let alone think about eating it.
This is outrageous
"The U.S. Army says it will soon be sending armored Stryker vehicles on a 1,100-mile convoy through six European countries to show solidarity to allies in the wake of recent Russian actions in the Ukraine and Crimea that have Eastern Europe on edge."

I hope our European brothers and sisters can mount a decent protest against this. We can't allow this to go on.
Plenty of money for war
We outsourced our entire economy so now our only export is war. We seem to constantly find plenty of money for war, but nothing for our own people in need. We are the world's greatest terrorist threat. We're #1!!!!!!!

The mentality now is astounding.
U.S. tanks rolling through Europe toward Russia? If that's not enough to wake people up to what's happening,
I don't know what is.
won't happen
The US soldiers are supposed to train with the Nato partner together in the Baltic states (for three months). EU Commission President Juncker thinks out aloud that the EU should have its own army. Officially Merkel's coalition government has already shown support for that idea.
No little brothers and sisters dreaming over there to fight the big brothers.
