Britain's Biggest Burger: 4,747 Calories

Of Oscar Dinner, a restaurant in Shropshire, United Kingdom, have made headlines with their huge "Titanic" Burger, with a whopping 4200 calories (and that's before you add the fries, and milkshake).
That is the daily intake of an average woman for two days ... and a dieter nightmare.
The restaurant came up with the burger as a crowd-drawing challenge,

Hungry customers should eat the burger, a large part of the chips, a jar of Cabbage, wash it all down with the ice cream milkshake, within 45 minutes.
The burger costs £ 15 (approx. $ 23), and is stacked high with:
two 1 pound beef pat ties six strips of bacontwo chicken breasts two potato waffles four onion rings cheese and mayonaise
So far, about a hundred people taken on the challenge. Fifteen Member States have succeeded.
Health experts have spoken out against the burger, with dietitian Lucy Jones describes it as, "The fastest route to A&E with a heart attack."
Of Oscar Dinner saying, "We are not forcing anyone anything to eat. It's just a bit of fun. "
What do you think? This is a fun marketing gimmick, or an example of dangerous super-sizing?
