Headline: Is Kate Upton’s Mercedes Ad Too Sexy?

Answer: What? I don’t understand the question.

Alternative answer: what is happening to this country?

A new Mercedes-Benz ad starring the voluptuous Kate Upton is generating some surprisingly negative buzz in the blogosphere, with critics calling it cheap and tasteless—even wondering if it’s too sexy.

Okay, so that seems a little lowbrow for a company like Mercedes-Benz, but the “critics” aren’t complaining about lowbrow.
