meatsex

so, it's not really news that often in advertising meat gets associated with sex in one way or another. for example:
how about the
mcdonald's ad with the ambiguous man who seems to want to fuck their hamburger?

or the
carl's jr ad with paris hilton in a bathing suit washing a car/eating a burger?

or, more recently, the
arby's commercial with the man getting a special arby's birthday treat? (doesn't that arby's symbol look like a penis to you?)


all of these (and so many more) are wonderful and disgusting examples of meatsex in advertising. however, i think that
white castle has outdone them all.

picture this:

a person is dressed up in a pig costume. she is dancing on stage at a strip club to the delight of the men in attendance. then, channeling flashdance, she sits down in a chair and soaks herself, not in water, but in barbecue sauce. the crowd goes wild. some lick the sauce.

as i was watching this i couldn't help questioning the state of advertising today. because someone out there came up with this idea. and other people thought this idea was good. this does not make me want to try their new pulled pork sandwich. if anything i want white castle less than i did before seeing this ad.

unfortunately i can't seem to find a video of this commercial anywhere online. i guess it's too new. but keep your eyes peeled. it's pretty ridiculous.
