MAN Dies After Eating Cockroach During 'Insect Eating Competition'

State officials in Florida have reported that a man has died following an insect eating competition. The man consumed dozens of live worms and insects, including cockroaches. The insect eating contest took place at a pet shop in America on Friday October 5, according to CNN. In total, some thirty people took part at Insect Eating Competition, each eagerly consuming large quantities of live insects with the hope of securing the first prize: a python valued at $700.

The Miami Herald reports that the winner, Edward Archbold aged 32, collapsed in the pet shop shortly after the contest had finished. The exact cause of death has yet to be announced. No other contestants have been reported as falling ill.

The organisers of the insect eating competition told journalists that all the contestants had signed disclaimers accepting full responsibility for any adverse effects which might result due to the contest.

In putting across what exactly motivates someone to eat so many live insects, one of the contestants, Pharaoh Gayles, told Newsmen: "Some of the snakes were pretty expensive. I thought if I could eat the bugs to get one, it'd be a good idea."

Questions
- Friends, would you say the Insect Eating Competition in America is Entertaining or a STUPID act?
- Would you participate in such a competition if the prize for the winner is $1 million ?

Let's Have your VIEWS..
Thanks.
