The End Is Nigh, America.

A little while back, Kentucky Fried Chicken -- sorry, sorry, KFC -- released the Double Down sandwich to general consternation and disgust. For those who missed it, the main selling point of this was that instead of having a bun, it had instead two pieces of fried chicken.

And KFC sold this as a healthy selling point. God, I love advertising.

People threw up their arms in disgust, complained vociferously about how this was the perfect example of all that's wrong with the country and ... apparently bought them by the wheelbarrow.

Seeing that, Friendly's Burger wants in. So, they've released the Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt. Now, you might think I'm joking, but this is what it is:

It's a burger - and instead of the buns there are two grilled cheese sandwiches. Read that again, realize that this story is not from The Onion, and say a quiet prayer for the arteries of America.
