    Really?
    A bra and panties clad 20 something crawling toward a plate of nachos?
    Licking sour cream off the corner of her mouth?

    Next time how about a NSFW tag on the video!

    So much was wrong with that segment, I don't even know where to begin. Sorry. :(

    Well. That will attract one kind of readership to your site.

    Not so sure it's the kind that reads LTH.

    You serious? Mel's description is the only reason this LTHer was even remotely interested in clicking on this video, and - I have to say - the intro wasn't bad. Not bad at all.

    Yawn. The sour cream bit was sophomoric & not an image I want to think about when I see a food story on a food site.

    Please, for the love of food, remove the video.

    Please learn how to pronounce ménage à trois.

    You might want to check out this book to get an inspiration of how to do it right.

    Best of luck.

    You watched it with the sound on? Now I can see why other people have problems with this video. I muted it, then shut it off as soon as the crawling sour cream eater was done. Not a bad production at all if watched that way.

    To me, the phrase "food porn" is humorous because it implies that images of food itself are arousing, provocative, appetite-stimulating, etc. When you add an actual sexy person into the mix, it gets too literal and the humor is diminished. That said, I don't think the burger itself was very stimulating; it looked like a mess of elements following a more-is-better formula.

    Still, who knows, there might be an audience, somewhere, for this kind of thing.

    I have no comments about the half-naked woman or the actual burger being highlighted.

    I do, however, have an issue with a star filter used around the 23 second mark.

    I can see merit in the project; with a few stylistic changes, it could be a good series. There's definitely an audience for this.

    I'm not offended by the intro, but just watching that burger gave me stomach pains-kind of the opposite of "food porn".

    Call me old fashioned but I like to keep my food and my girls-in-thongs separate. :roll:

    Randy Marsh of South Park does his own almost-too-literal food porn piece (I think it aired for the first time last night; quite humorous). Watch a piece of it here:
