Attack Of The Monster Thickburger





My cousin pointed this out to me yesterday. I guess this post is a companion piece for my Pulitzer Prize-winning Taco Bell expose from months past. Didn't these people watch Super Size Me? Don't they know that too much of this beef and pork stuff causes hypertension, diabetes, impatient cow syndrome, the gout and other bad things?



Part of me loves the idea of this product, because I side with the underdog as a reflex, and I must admit in myneck of the woods, Hardee's is definitely the underdog. Also, this type of enormous meal has become the underdog, though undeniably for the good of the planet. I guess Hardee's figures that no self-respecting lawyer is going to file a class-action lawsuit against lil' ol' them, so why not give the people what they want, even if they shouldn't have it? You have to admit, it's almost always good marketing to go against the tide, especially if appears to be a better value.



The good news is, I've heard through the grapevine that Charlize Theron will gain 200 pounds and perform between two sesame seed buns in order to play the title role in the film Monster Thickburger, which Hollywood insiders are already dubbing "a classic sandwich".
