Please Do Not Eat World Record Sandwich

They say records are made to be broken.  And sometimes they're meant to be eaten.  But apparently records are never ever meant to be broken and eaten.  At least not before they're broken.  Yahoo.com reports:

TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran failed Friday to register what it said would be the world's largest sandwich in the Guinness book of World Records after people rushed forward and began eating it -- before it was measured.

Event organizers had planned to stuff the 1,500-meter-long sandwich with 700 kg of ostrich meat and 700 kg of chicken, and display it in a park in the capital Tehran.

But as the sandwich was being measured, chaos ensued. The giant snack was gone in minutes, a Reuters witness said, leaving the three Guinness representatives present with a dilemma.
Let's see, in a country where there are a lot of hungry people, they decided to not only break the world record for largest sandwich, but to then display it in front of said people.  I think next, the organizers of this event are going to try and break the record for the "sluttiest hot chick that has a conversational knowledge of science fiction films" and display her at a World Of Warcraft convention.
