If you have
ESPN or
ESPN2, you can see these whenever they don't have something good to show. It's a competition among five or six
massive human beings to see who can do these
silly tasks the longest/farthest/fastest.
The events are things like who can hold this car up the longest, who can throw this keg of beer the highest, and who can pull this bus 100 feet the fastest. Really, really strange stuff, simultaneously disturbing and very compelling.
