Food Porn

 
Perhaps you've seen the silly news story. Maybe you've heard the late-night talk show jokes. But apparently fast food restauranteur Hardee's have introduced a new burger -- weighing in at 2/3 of a pound -- called (get ready for it) ...

The Monster Thickburger.

Now I know what you're thinking. So what. La dee da. Another big burger in the land of fast food excess. Tell me, Jim Pascoe, why are you bothering me with this?

Because here's the real gem of the story:
The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based advocate for nutrition and health, dubbed the Thickburgers "food porn," the Monster "the fast-food equivalent of a snuff film."

If that isn't the best quote about a hamberger in the history of the English language, I don't know what is. Even though my poor Californian gut trembles at the thought of this 1000+ calorie fat feast, I kinda want to try one, just to eat the fast-food equivalent of a snuff film.

I love the idea of this burger. One burger to take care of all my food intake for two day. A very good idea.

And I agree, "the fast food equivalent of a snuff film" is just another selling point for me.
