According to Wikipedia, “porn creep” is the process by which sexually explicit content infiltrates American pop culture. Many people blame (or credit) the abundance of sexual imagery and innuendo in movies, television and advertising on the increased accessibility and “cool factor” of pornography.
American Apparel, which has many otherwise redeeming qualities as a company, has made use of porn creep. And west coast burger joint, Carl’s Jr., is all about it.
