A man has died after starting a Raleigh race in which contestants are supposed to also eat a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts midway through the competition.

Yes, as part of another stupid ass challenge, you are required to eat a dozen doughnuts halfway through a race. Who comes up with this crap?

Apparently the poor bastard never made it to the Krispy Kreme station before he bowed out of the race complaining of chest pains. He was transported tot he hospital where he later died.

The race is organized by students at North Carolina State University and benefits the North Carolina Children's Hospital. It's in its 12th year.

So you benefit a hospital by doing something so completely unhealthy it can kill you? Makes about as much sense as the promotion a few years ago where a large national fried chicken franchise sold a gallon of Pepsi with proceeds benefiting diabetes research.

I can't wait for the challenge that requires people to use common sense....some people would fail miserably.
