I'm not lovin' it

I try to stay away from eating at McDonald's (Hardees is my guilty pleasure), but I will stop at the golden arches if I have a coupon.  They recently did a coupon mailing to our neighborhood and since I was picking up my neighbors mail while he was away, I scored an extra coupon book. I've been using them sparingly the past few weeks and when I stopped in Monday to get my free 32 oz drink I bought a couple of cherry pies (2 for $1). I was wolfing them down before class and I noticed the packaging which left me confused and a little disturbed.

First off, I miss the old deep fried pies they used to have. Crispy and greasy the way desert should be, but I understand they have to present some semblance of wholesomeness if they want to stay in business.

What really threw me was the graphic on the pie wrapper. It doesn't say anything about what kind of pie it is, and I'm wondering if the "Caution I'm Hot" warning has less to do with the pie and more to do with couple groping each other.  Is it me, or does this strike anyone else as wrong?

I still have some coupons left so I'll probably go back but I think I'll stay away from the pies, at least until those two get a room.
