In love with bacon and not afraid to admit it Oh, Wendy’s. Have you ever seen anything you didn’t want to top with bacon? Now they’ve done away with the pretense and created the Baconator, a burger that has six strips of bacon stretched across its typical leathery slab of nondescript meat. They even have a Web site for it, This Is My Burger, where you can (seriously) enter a songwriting contest using cheeseburger-related samples. Whoever best serenades the Baconator wins $5,000, studio time to prepare the master work for the masses, and guaranteed radio play. Songs can be mixed on the Web site and will be judged on artistic credibility (seriously), originality and whether or not they “sizzle.” Hey, if wizard rock can exist, why not cholesterock? It could sweep the nation like rampant obesity. —Posted by David Kiefaber

I'd suffer from multiple bacon induced heart attacks before that site loaded up, and I have DSL.

Wendy's isn't Taco Bell, I'm sure it's safe to say that the supposed "typical leathery slab of nondescript meat" is just plain ol' red meat-straight form the cow!

Also, don't dis Wendy's or their burgers!

You don't know who you're messing with!

I would threaten you further, but I can't move right now....I feel sluggish and satisfied.

The picture of the bacon burger has made me feel hungry. I could really go for a bacon burger right now.

This type of hype adds to the Wendy brand and raises awareness of this burger, which in turn will produce more sales.

Can someone please send me a burger....
