Wow, one of my co-workers just sent this image out. It’s totally awesome (IMHO)…

Bonus: The first Win7 ad: http://video.nytimes.com/video/2009/10/21/multimedia/1247465293593/an-ad-for-windows-7-from-microsoft.html#
Holy crap, I'm pretty sure that could kill a person! It's probably a good thing it's exclusive to Japan though (as far as I could read). Interesting advertisement and even more interesting comments while they were eating it!
It's no joke...

The first 30 customers can buy this hamburger for 777 yen, while the rest pay 1400+. I wonder if this is nationwide, then again there are only 15 BK restaurants here.
Wow, I totally misunderstood the title of this thread!

2. A gross or blatant lie
(I wasn't sure whether who was going to be lying about Windows 7, but it sounded interesting....)
That looks like a Vista Whopper. The Windows 7 Whopper is smaller, looks nicer, and is less bloated.
Some background info:
- Akihabara is the big electronics-shopping district of Tokyo.
- Beef is rather expensive in Japan (as are coffee, fruit juice, and many other things we Americans take for granted).
- One yen is about 1.1 US cents, so 777 yen =~ $8.55.
@Dave,
Vista Whopper should be shaped as a big hill (vista) made of ground beef.
Rough translation:
10/22 Windows 7 Release Commemoration Burger
(New Limited Time Offer)
In 13 cm diameter American size buns, 7 approx 113g beef patties, excessive/luxurious and super giant burger!
On sale 10/22-28
Price for first 30 people each day: 777 yen (regular price 1450)
I take it that Windows 7 doesn't support the Big Mac, then?
