It's not just for breakfast anymore

Evidently, there is some sort of thing going on in Austin lots of people are at, including an intrepid reporter from the LA Times who filed the following dispatch:

Suicide Girls get sizzling bacon 'bro' tattoos at SXSW

Talk about bringing home the bacon. At Saturday night's Bigg Digg party at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, Texas, I ran across two young ladies from the tech world who were sporting brand-new, hot-off-the-grill bacon tattoos. 

Lynn LaVallee, a.k.a. @poshy, and her friend Jessica Zollman, a.k.a. @jayzombie, in town for the South by Southwest music and media conference, consummated their roommate-ship early.* The two San Francisco-based women, both Suicide Girls (that's the Web's "enlightened" erotic-photo site), are moving in together next month, and they both love bacon.  Hence the decision to get their "bro tatts." 

I wish HRO was here to sort this out. But so many questions:
1) Alt pinups get tattoos. This is news?
2) The headline is ambiguous: are "sizzling bacon 'bro'" tattoos" tatoos of sizzling bacon, or are the tatts, themselves sizzling, as in hott?
3) I can get the bro tatts thing (born a few years later, Johnny Ro and I would be sporting matching manta tatts today, no doubt), but bacon? If a bro tatt affirms a solidarity between two people who feel a bro-like affinity, how does an affinity one shares with most of humanity express that solidarity. It would be like you and your bro getting XLVI tatts, b/c you both have 46 chromosomes. It's something you have in common with most folks. Bolder would be, say, a life size durian on one buttock. Or perhhaps "Lutefisk Thuggin" over the abs. Just saying.
4) Any chance Andre Williams will record "The Bacon Tatt"?
*If you were doing a sequel to Buckaroo Banzai, you could do worse than start with an altporn model/web developer.

Is it wrong that when I see those tatoos, my first thought is that the girls are saying they taste like bacon? Or that they ARE bacon? And it brings to mind the very little difference between pigs and humans.

Anyone doing a social network must realize that they are in the media business and NOT the technology business. Think of yourself as a magazine. What's important in a magazine? Is it a really easy to use table of contents?
