Tony Bourdain wasn’t about to take our mockery (and everybody else’s) of his naked Travel Channel ad lying down. So he blogged about it: “What tiny, deeply disturbed demo were they trying to appeal to here? German Scat Porn websites likely attract greater numbers. What about the CHILDREN!? I look forward to the next ad — of my head, photo-shopped onto Barney Fife’s naked body torturing a puppy. Now THAT will draw them in!” The whole post is not to be missed and also happens to include the fact that the aquamarine water Bourdain is eerily floating in is not in fact tropical but rather Icelandic. We were wrong on that score (though our commenters knew better), but we were right about it being creepy. Even Bourdain thinks so!
