Slate on Atkins Porn

Slate's Seth Stevenson (finally) looks at the "food porn" ads for Hardee's and Carl's Jr. that we've been following with particular interest over the last few months and decides that they don't work as effective advertising: "To me, it's unappealing when a sandwich is so large I must contort my mouth to fit it. Nor do I want to think about porn when I'm eating." Since we here at Fleshbot tend to think about porn no matter what we're doing, we're having problems seeing things from his perspective. But hey—one man's meat is another's poison, right?
