And it is a cupie doll photo retouching of toddlers to create a real-life black velvet doe eyed painting gone... well... gone even worse.

Behold and despair.

Heh.

No no no. It's really not a monster movie, but it should be. From PlasticBamboo.com:

Apparently, McDonald’s Japan are so delighted with the success of their limited Mega Mac 4 burger Big Mac, that they’ve decided to extend the period of availability. Sales of the Mega Mac have more than doubled expected sales with 3.32 million sold in just 4 days. Chomp chomp!

The Mega Mac. Four paddies o' meat. As if the original wasn't enough, you now get twice the beef and all of the calories. Evidently this is an item that is only available in test markets, such as Japan. But you have to ask...

1. Why Japan? Wouldn't a place such as... I dunno... Texas be more synonymous with the idea of "bigger = better"?
2. Does Japan want to be so much like the West, that they're willing to kill themselves with fast food too?

It might be my own ethnocentric view of the world, but I always thought that Japanese cuisine was more about health and simplicity. I guess ever since Takeru Kobayashi took the World Hot Dog Eating Championship title, things just have never been the same.

Of course this is nothing compared to things like the Triple Whopper. That just looks painful.
