Okay, this has nothing to do with cels, thus why it is in this section. I get bored at work and this was reported in a local newspaper here in Fort Worth. I thought it was pretty funny. lol I can imagine all of these really thing Japanese people standing in long lines to get their 4 patty burger. lol anyways, read below!
McDonald's MegaMac takes Japan by Storm
by Staff report
For those of us who feel a pang of guilt every time we tear into a big juicy burger, here's a bit of news that will ease our minds -- and waistlines:
Behold, McDonald's Mega Mac, a monstrous burger containing four, count 'em four, meat patties. It is flying off the grill in Japan, according to the Mainichi Daily News. So much so, that McDonald's has had to limit the daily number of Mega Macs being sold.
The Mega Mac debuted on Jan. 12, and about 3.32 million of the burgers have been sold already, doubling expectations.
The limits have not dissuaded hungry customers. In fact, the Mega Mac is more popular than Madonna. People are lining up outside some McDonald's in the heart of Tokyo at the crack of dawn, Mainichi reports, and some are selling out of their quota of Mega Macs before noon.
Customers who miss out on the mammoth burgers, which are selling for 350 yen, or $2.89 US, get a coupon enabling them to buy the Mega Mac next time for half-price.
McDonald's had planned to sell the Mega Mac until Feb. 4, but, surprise, it is extending the sales period for at least one week.
No word yet on whether the Mega Mac is coming to the U.S.

Worm burgers! Worm Burgers...
I don't eat beef anymore, because prions are currently undetectable and may be replacing protiens in your brain as we speak. Similar to worms tunnelling through your brain, these prions replace your brain cels with holes.
I just don't want to turn into a mad cow. And the scary thing is that it takes maybe 10 years for a smart person to start showing degeneration.
It's scary... That's why I eat lots of fish, chicken and pork chops!
and strawberry cheesecake!

I have always held so much respect for the health of the traditional Japanese diet. This is such sad news.
Did you know that a large Mcdonald's french fry contains 8 grams of trans fat? The only food items I have seen with more trans fat than that are margarine and shortening (which are both basically just trans fat). Disgusting. It makes me wonder what is in this new sandwich.

You are not scared are you?
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
