KFC Has A Bacon Sandwich That Uses Fried Chicken As "Bread"

This is perhaps man's greatest achievement or evidence of our civilization's impending doom. Maybe it's both.
Meet the KFC "double down." Although no mention of it is made on KFC.com and we have never seen an ad for it ourselves, we are being lead to believe that it is real by Foodgeekery.com. They have crappy cell phone camera footage of a commercial (from Omaha, apparently) for the mysterious beast, as well as photographic evidence of it in the wild.
The sandwich consists of two fried chicken fillets wrapped around bacon, cheese and Colonel's sauce. It apparently tastes like you think it would. An early-adopter explains:
http://www.foodgeekery.com/reviews/double-down-with-kfc/This is perhaps the most insane “sandwich” I have ever seen. A fried chicken patty, 2 slices of cheese, 2 slices of bacon, and another fried chicken patty. Wow. Sorry I don’t have much else to say, it is like the Monster Burger of chicken. My mind is boggled… the funny thing about this sandwich is that it is part of the “unthink kfc” advertising, which has previously only been for grilled chicken.
So, upon seeing this I did what anyone would do and drove over to KFC to buy the beast. The “meal” is $6.99, but you can buy the sandwich for a mere $4.99. The description from the horse’s mouth:
* 2 Original Recipe Filets
* Bacon
* Pepper Jack Cheese
* Swiss Cheese
* Colonel’s Sauce
So, what does it look like? Check out some photos:
