Wow.
Don’t miss “The Making of Bikini – Audrina Patridge Carl’s Jr. ”

The producers make some statements about the other women involved in the production of the commercial — not just “the beautiful women in front of the camera”. They also mention that “it’s always about the food”. Trying to pre-empt sexist arguments with this?
