Windows 7 Inspires Japanese Burger Shenanigans

Japanese people love technology, that's no secret, but they also love their hamburgers. With the launch of Microsoft's Windows 7, the Japanese franchises of Burger King are rolling out a sweet promotion to go with it. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the magnificant, gigantic, preposterous, gut-busting, Seven-Patty Whopper.

A creation such as this can only be the work of the most divine and simultaneously diabolical mind. At the same time, I want one yet want to stay as far away as I can. I'm so conflicted! It's seven patties of delectable beef topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and a seasame seed bun. It's only available in Japan and only for 7 days after the launch of Windows 7. Fittingly, it will cost 777 Yen, which equates to about $8.50. That price will only be for the first 30 customers to order it, however, after which the price goes up to 1450 Yen or $17. Still seems reasonable to me somehow...
I'm not sure if there is a better celebration of Windows 7 than a sandwich whose only mission is to destroy you from the inside. I just hope the Whopper doesn't have as many viruses as Windows 7 is sure to have! I'm thinking the loading time for Windows 7 will be approximately the same as it would take a human to load 7 beef patties into their gullet, so maybe the two make the perfect pair after all.
