Look At This Monstrosity!

No, not that annoying King Burger King mascot, but instead Burger King's new "Pizza Burger" (pictured above), which was introduced in the Big Apple this weekend (link to story at bottom). Just in time for the colder months (when people already tend to pack on a few extra pounds), BK is hitting America with this piece of crap -- which tips the scales at over 2500 calories (that's not a typo).

I wouldn't even want to know the fat content, but it must be well over 100 grams -- maybe 2 or 3 hundred. This heart-attack-on-a-bun features Whooper patties topped with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese (and Lord only knows what that white sauce might be -- it's probably seasoned lard, with BK tossing that into the mix just for good measure).

But alas, as usual, I won't heap too much $hit on the fast food joint for its unhealthy menu items (since people know full well they're eating crap when they eat crap) unless the joint fails to offer any healthy alternatives. And I know for a fact that BK does offer a low fat veggie burger (just tell them to hold the mayo), which is good, if not also overpriced.

BTW, I wonder if Obama -- who's never met a cheeseburger he didn't like -- will be giving the Pizza Burger a try sometime soon? Just make sure you split the thing with Biden and a few other people, Mr. President.
