The burger wedding cake is simply ridiculous

Whenever Canadians stumble upon bizarre things in the web-o-sphere the polite tendency among many of us is to dismiss the oddity with a simple, "Hey, whatever floats your boat, man." And while that phrase certainly has its place, at other times it's decidedly too gentle.
