As you may already know, I'm an avid Daily Show / Colbert Report fan. Even though Colbert has totally sold out--his show equal parts comedy and commercial--I still love him.

And he often makes Japan references. The first one I personally investigated, you'll remember, was the Mayonnaise Kitchen. Then, on December 7, 2009 he mentioned the Windows 7 Burger King Burger. I had to find out for myself.

Though McDonalds is everywhere in Japan, Burger Kings are few and far between. I only know of one in Ikebukuro's Sunshine Plaza. An hours train ride later I was standing in line. A sticker on the wall proudly proclaimed Michelob to be the official beer of Burger King.

Americans, if you think you love beer, you're wrong. The Japanese, they love their beer. Can you get a beer in Burger King? Enough said.

I asked the woman behind the counter for a Windows 7 Burger. She told me that the Windows 7 Burger promotion was long over. I asked her the next obvious question--can I get a burger with seven patties? She had to check with her manager. I admired the always slender bodies of the Japanese ladies for a moment before she came back and told me yes.

The burger was big and heavy. It wound up being such a hearty meal that it took me four sittings to eat. But here it is, the Windows 7 Burger (or more accurately, just a Whopper with seven patties).
