Woman Cracks Nut With Ass, Then Eats It

orange_gym_ass_crack.jpg

This is gross. It's one thing for a woman to have a fit, hot ass that is capable of doing many things. But to stick a walnut between her cheeks, crack it and then eat it ...all to promote a gym is, well, disgusting.

Ladies, what would you do if a hunky plumber showed up at your door and said, "I'm here to snake your drain"? How about if another appeared and said, "I'm here to flush your pipe"? And how about if a Barry White-ish voiceover intoned something about a long snake?
