    Lust, Hatred, Beauty, Food: BurgerSex Ads Will Never Die

    First Paris Hilton made a burger-fellating ad, and that went okay, so they had Padma Lakshmi do it, and people seemed to like that, so now this "Audrina Partridge" character has been trotted out to satisfy America's meat lust.

    This sexualization of mass-produced, tongue-pleasing food will continue forever, because selling the myth of easy sex to men and the myth of being able to eat fast food while maintaining a model-esque body to women in one fell swoop is just too damn effective—especially when paired with cheap food products designed to activate our mouth's pleasure centers—because people are basically dumb animals. That burger looks gross though.
