From D-Listed, something strange, yet, tasty sounding:
FAST food chain Burger King are to serve up the world’s most expensive takeaway – costing a whopping £85 ($170).
There’s no common old meat in this burger. It will contain top-quality Kobe beef from Japan. And instead of ketchup and cheddar, it will be garnished with foie gras – a goose delicacy – and rare blue cheese.
It will be launched in selected branches next month, with London’s upmarket Kensington and Chelsea tipped to get the posh burger first.
Lucy Barett of Marketing Magazine doesn’t think it’s that bad of an idea, “The idea of a burger that no one buys is not as ludicrous as it seems. Burger King will use it to promote a gap in perception between it and McDonald’s. It could lead consumers to reassess the quality of the brand.”
In the coolest news from 1996, from Egotastic, Neve Campbell got naked again for a movie. Yay! (NSFW)
From First Showing.net, we get the new Batman: The Dark Knight poster:
Also from FirstShowing.net, Guillermo del Toro is officially directing The Hobbit (this is good news).
And, finally, this is why exercise is so very, very bad for you:

Does anyone know foie gras is? It is a pate made from goose liver. Now this in and of itself if not too bad, but it is the way the geese are treated that is horrific.
The geese are force fed, with a feeding funnel, high protein food that causes very rapid liver enlargement and kills the geese. The French came up with this idea of course, the sorry cowardly bastards.
