The Internet has always been a treasure trove of the weird and unexplainable. In the last few weeks alone, a man tried to be devoured by an anaconda, legendary party animal Leonardo DiCaprio unsurprisingly left a Miami club with 20 models (what happened next is still up for debate), and Elton John couldn't quite keep it together. This week, it's the story of model Adriana Lima and how she roused the Twitterverse during last week's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show not because she strutted her ungodly good looks in a sparkly $2 million bra, but because of this:
Yes, my dear friends, the absurd tale of the Most Ridiculous Twitter Poll of All Time goes something like this: an account called @ItsFoodPorn posted a tweet asking people who is more beautiful, Adriana Lima or a Chipotle burrito. The rice and bean-stuffed concoction overwhelmingly won 8,293 retweets to 4,296 favorites. An analytics company called Canvs later confirmed the win with a bizarre infographicthat is surprisingly not endorsed by Chipotle.
You may be thinking, "what the hell did I just read?" or "damn, I could really go for a hearty burrito right about now." Whatever your response or the case may be, let's remember something that one writer for Bustle so eloquently points out: "I’m not really down with comparing a leaving [sic] breathing woman to a burrito that has zero thoughts and feelings and is meant to be consumed. It just goes to highlight how we treat women, especially famous women, like objects that are meant to be assessed only by their physical appearance."
