Meet the meaty Meat Monster from Burger King.

There’s been a lot of gluttony recorded in the world throughout its history.  The surest way to remind others that you are privileged and wealthy is to eat way, way too much.  Some guys turn their epic meals into Internet infamy, and then there’s Burger King.  The King is pretty sedate here in the US, pizza burger aside, but in Japan?  Anything goes.  That’s why Burger King debuted their massive 1160-calorie Meat Monster hamburger in Japan.

Call it a Whopper on steroids.  Call it a less-showy version of the Windows 7 Whopper.  You can call it whatever you like, but one thing’s for sure:  this isn’t diet food.  After all, the Meat Monster is two full-size Whopper patties, a chicken patty, extra cheese, and bacon strips, all piled on a wonderfully dressed bun.  It sounds awesome, doesn’t it?

That said, enjoy in moderation, dear Japanese reader.  (Not that I have a lot of those.)  The Meat Monster has a whole day’s worth of sodium and fat, as well as nearly a full amount of calories for an adult woman per day.  That’s a whole lotta burger!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
