erin - If you read some of the comments on the "hottest new accessory" post you've linked to, you'll see that your readers don't particularly enjoy seeing objectified female bodies covered in raw meat on a site that purports to be about eating. this "chick" finds the metaphor offensive and in very bad taste.

Very very funny. This girl might reward her fiance with a bacon bra.

I found this hysterical, wondered aloud what volume of bacon it would take to hold up my boobs, and promptly forwarded it to my favorite chef pal (a guy).

Just one request: next time please make a pair of bacon boxers and put 'em on George Clooney (not one of those hairless swimmer bods)! Thanks for listening. :-)

sabrina and ilana: you need to chill out! This is funny!

Haha has anyone seen the sketch from The State about bacon? The guy ends up wearing a dress made out of bacon and he sings a song that I still sing every time I eat a piece of bacon:

Bacon bacon bacon I'm putting the moves on youuuu!

You know what, I'm not offended by the bacon bra as such - however I got quite quite irritated at the completely sexist way it was described. I mean, there's totally a difference between presenting this story a bit more neutrally like: "hey kids, this crazy woman is wearing a bacon bra/tshirt/funny hat - HIGH-larious/ew!"

versus (and I am paraphrasing liberally "out of context" here)

"People (and by people we mean men)!: We love women AND boobs, so here's a great idea to make money AND objectify women. Woots! Women, even you crazy kosher chicks, think about getting one of these to please your man (because that's what you're here for obviously)". That's pretty much the gist I got. And yes, of course, if you don't like it, you've got no sense of humour. That's what they all say. I got that this is supposed to be funny/weird, but what's with the sexist commentary? Hmm?

Would you ever, ever see a description of say, men's bacon briefs in the same way? I think not.

This is definitely a low point for serious eats.

Would you ever, ever see a description of say, men's bacon briefs in the same way? I think not.

That's because most people (and by people we mean women) would much rather see a man in chocolate briefs, not bacon...

I think it's funny. But it would be even funnier if the bra were made from cooked bacon -- sort of molded? It would remind me of one of those ultra rigid torpedo-like bras from the 40s... and the excited male could eat it up without removing it for cooking first...

Three things have been running through my mind since I saw this. First, naturally, was Gordie's incident last year where he came close to toasting his nuggets. If only he had been wearing bacon briefs!

Second is that the design could be made more appealing. The lines are not as good as they could be.

Third, a quote from GS Albee:
Zee always went naked in the house, except for the brassiere she wore when it was her turn to get dinner. Once, cooking French-fried potatoes in a kettle of boiling fat, she had come within an inch of crisping her most striking features.

A broccoli floret bra would be rather cute, too, made with the right lines of course.

Pizza, pork, and pearls?

If only they had taken the time to make a Hershey's Kiss necklace. :(

As a guy who likes both bacon and boobs, this seems a little "ew" to me. The bacon is raw, after all, which screams 'bacteria' and 'food poisoning'. Not what I want associated with food or boobs at all.

I think Sabrina needs to get her panties out of the wad they're in. I'm a female, a 'chick' if you will, and I love the picture and get the humor. I also enjoy the site for the eats but come on, funny is funny. Too much seriousness will cause your head to explode Sabrina.
