McDonalds is SO Evil
Of all the fucked up things in the world, and in all the fucked up places, why did the Mega Mac have to arrive in Japan? I'll be the first to say I'm a little late on this news. McDonalds revealed this burger 2 years ago, can anybody confirm it's still available?

Now, some of you know about my humorous attempts at Dragon*Con's in years past to see how big of a burger I can get. First off - when *I* do something that should tell you it's probably a bad idea. Second of all, I'm a little pissed that McDonalds beat Burger King to this. It would have been a lot easier to work Burger King up to the octadeca patty (80 patties) if they already had this thing on the menu.
That being said, this burger is over 750 calories. That's roughly a third of the calories that somebody my size and with my level of activity "needs" in a single day. Trying to lose weight, I've cut my calorie intake in half and boosted my activity level. Now also take into considerat that a medium order of french fries from McDonalds is an extra 450 calories. Medium drink? Another 210 (300+ if you get a large). So in summary, you can go to McDonalds and *easilY* acquire 1,500 calories all by ordering a number.
I think the diagram they included in the article does a great job of illustrating the future...
