To shill the burger that is "more than just a piece of meat" they enlist reality 'star' Audrina Patridge, and it sounds like they are implying that she is just a piece of meat. Way to go with the copywriting, guys....

I'm not really sure why this is called "Open source" - it reminds me more of that game we played as kids where you each write one line to a story and then try to make sense of it. Either way, I think this ad proves that even with Tarsem directing, you get shit ads if you do "user generated" ones. ;)
