Juicy Butts

Another one? Another pigwhore pushing the barbecue?

Like the others (her and her, for instance), this hussy has been living rough. Clingy half-shirt, filthy stockings, frayed mini skirt, garish make-up—she's full of class like a heap of scrapple is full of antioxidants.

Yes, we should be over it. We have gone through this so many (many!) times. But the sheer absurdity of it—the sheer absurd, sordid weirdness—still surprises us.

What is the actual message? If a pig must be depicted condoning the consumption of pork—and that certainly does seem to be a necessary condition of suicide food—why must she be such a deliberately trashy specimen? Are they just piling on the transgressive touchstones? Is it intended as a warped justification for the imminent violation?

It's as though we're seeing two parallel versions of "She was asking for it," one granting the illusion of sexual permission, the other giving license to do violence: "What do you expect—she was dangling the meat right in front of my face!" is indistinguishable from "What do you expect—she was shaking her ass right in front of my face!"

This is a world of men and objects. A world, therefore, where anything—everything—can be justified.

(Thanks to Dr. Bea for the referral.)






Addendum: We're guessing that Juicy is kin to the Bubba's Ribs & Q floozy. (Thanks, Dr. Carrie.)

  1. Disgusting. Yet another example of speciesism and sexism being interconnected.

  2. Agreed! Sexing up food is disgusting on so many levels. Gives me the heeby jeebies, yo. Seems like the landscape is dotted with "pigwhores." Nice term, by the way.

    I mean, I get it, sex sells, meat sells, but why transpose the two? Is there a term for people who get horny for meat? Sounds like the perfect target demographic, yeah?

    Keep the exposure (sic) coming, Ben!

  4. You people really need to get a life! The economy is crumbling, our government is slowly taking our rights away from us, and we have a moron in the White House, and all you can think about is how bad a simple LOGO is? If you don't like it, don't look at it! If it offends you, choose not to visit the establishment.

    People like you are going to be the downfall of this country. You can't even see if for what it is..... A Simple Logo for a small business. You comment with your "holier than thou" attitudes, but I bet not a one of you has done more for the betterment of society or children than the owner of that business.

    Talk about making someone sick, you people are a drain on society, as well as my intelligence with your idiotic "suicide food" page. You make ME sick.

  5. You are just jealous because you have not had the opportunity to eat meat that was so damn good you wanted to have relations with it. It is a pity...

    Mark, you are right on.... You folks need to get over yourselves.

  7. You guys really should get a life. Come up out of you mothers basement and go outside, I understand that it may be a little intimidating at first, but the sunlight may even help your chronic acne. While you are out find yourself a good BBQ joint and give it a try. Don’t worry you won’t have to kill anything yourself, they have real men that take care of that for you, all you have to do is pay for it. Of course this will require you to get a job but we can talk about that latter.

  8. Why do so many people think vegans don't have jobs, or live with our parents, or haven't tried bbq pork, or have never hunted or fished, i've caught everything from flounder to white marlin. I personally loved the taste of a pulled pork bbq sandwich too. But it's both not sustainable and the good taste is more than offset by the suffering of the pig. It's really that simple. If there are alternatives for someone like me, there is no reason why I shouldn't go for those instead. The American Dietetic Association states that a vegan diet is just as healthy as an omnivore diet, so again, why not?

  9. I feel so sorry for those that don't know what REAL food tastes like. The food that makes your mouth water and send shivers down your spine...

    Instead they feel the need to battle their inferiority complex by killing animals... oh real manly there. BBQ, even supposedly 'really good' BBQ, can not compare to vegan food. Sorry. Real men don't eat meat, it is just unsexy.

  12. Is Fair Use anything like the Fairness doctrine? Inquiring minds like mine want to know.
