If you haven't seen this "jaw-dropping" ad from Hardee's for their latest Monster Thickburger (two-thirds of a pound of Angus beef), you ought to view it online at Slate. As Seth Stevenson notes, "I guess if the Thickburger qualifies as food porn, the Monster Thickburger is XXX hard-core food porn, with cheese bondage and underage buns and deviant bacon orgies. I suppose it's only natural there are porntastic ads to match."

Not that any of this is new. An ice cream brand in Germany called Langnese has long marketed a popsicle variety called Magnum. I remember seeing an ad for it on the side of a bus--it involved a woman in a pose suggestive of an Ohio Players album cover. Nevertheless, the latest Langnese ice cream bar is the Magnum Intense Stick. Well, that's one way to put it.
