H311 yeah, hook a brutha up, playa! Why limit this all-beef flame-broiled pleasure to Japan when there are hungry dudes in Kansas just willing to smash one of these down? On the other hand, how about the Ubuntu 9.10 Whomper with 10 beef and 9 cheese built in... Now that would be pretty damn tasty.

In my experience with the Japanese, this does not surprise me too much (let's face it, this is fairly pedestrian when compared to Japanese vending machines that sell underwear previously worn by nubile young schoolgirls). I kid you not...
But it still puts a grin on my face whenever I see a marketing prank like this coming from the Land of the Rising Sun. :)

Might not work here in Blighty but surely out in Kansas you could have them make you one on pain of lawsuit!
mentions "13cm of American-sized buns". Was wondering if it was a subtle dig at American largeness, but 13cm "buns" would be abnormally small (unless you work for Ralph Lauren, I suppose). So I guess it's not a paradoy, though why they think largeness (or Win7, for that matter) is a selling point, I've no idea.
re: meat patties, the ad actually says "beef patties"... so not quite as disgusting-sounding. Shame that the picture does that job all by itself.
PS this is far from the only strange re-imagining of western food out there. Pizza with mashed potatoes comes to mind as one of the odder dishes I've come across...

The Windows 7 burger looks quite difficult to install. I am quessing it will cause sluggish system opperation for the first 12 hours and cause long delays to day to day opperations while the user tries to get rid of it! I just hope Windows 7 Software doesn't exibit the same problems!
That burger is a just massive, greasy, bland, quick fix, that has virtually no nutritional value and would cause more problems long term than it will solve short term.
Having worked for BK many years ago - I think I've had this for my end of night break - I may have cut out the salad as being dangerously healthy though...
For the carnivores out there, it tasted as good as it looks!

That fact that there's more of it doesn't mean it's any better than before.
Would 7x Vista be any better than a single? No, I didn't think so.
Win 7 is just a Vista Service Pack. Even MS has admitted as much, although not for attribution.
