??!! / Media The Pig Lusts for the Sauce

Posted by David Schmader on Thu, Dec 31, 2009 at 9:00 AM

Does this make anyone else want to stop living?

Plush velour soaked in barbecue sauce is so distressing. I'm sure it's someone's fetish, but it makes me queasy and sad. This commercial also feels like a new pinnacle in the world of Suicide Food. Read Lindy West's exploration of it here!

Thank you, AdFreak.com.

This has a sort of beastiality flavor to it.

Why do I get the feeling that this commercial was really made by peta?

Ew, ew, ew. I had forgotten all about this awful commercial series. I loves my sliders, but was totally tempted to boycott until they fired this ad company. But love of sliders won out.

Harold and Kumar visit Dante's Inferno? Which circle of Hell is this from?

"The Pig Lusts for the Sauce."

Well... don't we all?

Which reminds me of the "Vendetta Omelette": an omelette that includes chicken, as if you wanted to wipe out the entire family, adults and infants included.

What? Furries can't be into sploshing?

Yeah, this used to run here in NYC. Way disturbing. The sexualization of the pig and the fact that it wants to be covered in delicious sauce to facilitate eating it.

It actually really makes me not want. And I LOVE BBQ pig.

Makes me wonder where I can get my hands on that pig-suit; we could use it as a costume for our upcoming show.

See Suicide Food's discussion of the ad here:

dudes, i liked it. and i'm a humorless feminist (tm). it's like sort of making fun of those awful carl's jr ads that would just have an actual woman in them instead of a person in a pig suit.

This is on par with the Boost Mobile "you think there's something wrong with that" ads.
