Why America Is Awesome, Part I

Some of you may have heard about this a few months back.  But for those that haven't, ladies and gentlemen, meet the KFC Double Down

 
Set for nationwide release on April 12th, this heart clogger is a bacon sandwich with two fried chicken breasts as the bread.  For those that are wondering, this bad boy will cost you 540 calories, 32g of fat and 1380mg of sodium.  For your heathier side, the grilled Double Down will only set you back 460 calories, 23g of fat and 1430mg of sodium.
 
So, what do you guys think of this behemoth?  For my fellow Americans out there, are you interested in trying this?

Morbid curiosity will probably make me try this once, then go jogging the next day until I throw up. That's healthy, right?
 
Overall 540 calories isn't that bad, at least not when it comes to American fast food. This little number from Hardee's (Carl's Jr. on the west coast) will set you back 1,420 calories BEFORE the fries and soda:
 

You couldn't pay me to put this in my mouth.

Holy shit, the stuff in this thread is fucking nasty. You could show me a pile of gore and I would be more likely to eat that than this stuff.

It certainly won't be healthy, but McDonalds hamburgers are up in the 700's I think.

I am probably going to try it out either the day it comes out or the week it comes out.  Now to post a picture of this all over the internet so everyone will do their American duty and try one.

" You know, an average adult male should ideally be having less than 3000 mg of sodium a day. That's 3 g of sodium a day. This has 1430 g. Which is 476.7x the amount of sodium you should actually be having in one day. Just sayin'. "
I meant to say mg, not g.  Sorry.

Does The Thing have amazing cheesburgers in it?  If so I agree wholeheartedly.  :P

@CitizenKane: That makes a hell of a lot more sense. But still, I wouldn't put it past the processed foods industry to do something like that...

Calories mean so little, but the fat/salt content is scary.
 
Still, I would do a fucking number on that...burger?

It's about damned time.  I love flavor, and I love watching sanctimonious health nuts get their panties in a twist.  The best of both worlds.  
 
Those who say that this shit has to be bad for you are talking out of their ass.  Foods like this can easily be incorporated into a healthy diet.  Enjoy your tofurkey, assholes.

I will give a list as to why America is the greatest country in the world.
 
1.  Aid the world in time of need, yet we are constantly bitched at when we don't do something right.  Yet America gives the most in aid compared to all other countries.
2.  Freedom.  We fought for it, and strive to maintain it.  We are free.
3.  Complete and total marriage of democracy and a republic.  Name another country when a son of an African American can rise up and help run the most important country in the world.
4.  United as one in times of need.  If 9/11 proved anything, it matters not who or where you are from.  All that matters is if you believe in freedom.
5.  States under check...Federal still runs the show.  America runs with such amazement, it's brilliant how it isn't a cluster fuck.  
6.  Masters of technology.  
7.  F-22 Raptor...no other plane comes close.
8.  Largest military for maintaining peace and justice.
9.  Non-forced military draft, in America we are free to pick yes or no.
10.  Young Nation, yet rose like an eagle and conquered.  We saved everyone in WW2...and ended Japan's violent acts towards Koreans, Chinese, and Russians with just two bombs.  Made that monster Hitler shit his pants and become an hero too. 
11.  Most wanted place to live by immigrants, America was built by them...and they continue to help us grow.
12.  Passion, and artistic powerhouse.
13.  America, fuck yeah.

I tried one of those and it was good except for one thing, they put more salt then what was needed on there so the amount of sodium should be a lot less then that.
