Charlie Sanders’ “Second Fattest Man” video is in this week’s “Showdown” at atom.com. If you are so inclined, please go to atom.com/showdown, register and vote for “Second Fattest Man”. They show the winner on Comedy Central, which we think would be cool. Voting is open through the end of the week.

I totally understand if you don’t want to do this. It’s a blatant gimmick to boost their registrations, and force word-of-mouth for their site. Then again, atom.com isn’t so bad. Used to be Atom Films, which was a decent site. I met some of the folks who work there currently at the Channel 101 awards, and they seemed cool. And they make original films, including one featuring Curtis Gwinn — so maybe they’re cool?

Also, I really like “Second Fattest Man” and want people to see it. Yeah, it’s a little long. But it’s weird and Charlie’s script and performance are hilarious. I almost kinda like that it’s long, if only because I feel like I’m fighting back against all the pressures I feel to be “successful” which I put in quotes because my version of success is having a video on the front page of YouTube.

If nothing else, please listen below to an excerpt of Charlie’s “eating” noise:
