What would happen if Boris Vallejo directed a hamburger ad?

If the the master of over-the-top fantasy illustration were asked to direct a Carl's Jr. ad, it would have some beefy guy in Greco-Roman bondage gear, standing on a mountaintop...

...wielding magical powers...

It would have busty women lolling around in improbable bikini armour...

 It would have mythical beasts...

 It would have even more gratuitous T&A...

And it would look like this:



Alas! Boris did not do this. But it is his kind of epic.

Ad by David and Goliath

Exposing the myth of the chain mail bikini

Turns out Boris Vallejo, Heavy Metal Magazine, and countless other sources of adolescent boy fantasy lied to me.  No woman warrior worth her salt would be caught dead wearing a chain mail bikini into battle.



The video is pretty well done. And ironically, it comes via College Humor. (Where the Flash version has an extra bit at the end.)

But it's all in good fun, right? Well, tell that to Taarna:

Leather thong armour is less effective, even with FM boots.
