Bruce Jenner had his Wheaties. Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson has her saucy, popping taco.

In a new ad with fellow gymnasts Paul and Morgan Hamm, 16-year-old Johnson shills for taco company Ortega.

No surprise there—pretty much every gold medalist from the Beijing games is capitalizing on their newfound fame.

But Johnson's endorsement takes a turn for the randy when she sings the praises of Ortega's taco sauce, which she loves because it "makes my taco pop!"

Check out her saucy declaration in the video below, starting at the 12-second mark:

Don't any of these people have managers? Didn't anyone on Team Johnson detect the sexual innuendo involved here?

Looks like little Shawn has scored another top honor—in inappropriate marketing.

It's this sort of thing that makes creepily overprotective stage parents seem like heroes.

    I heard some guys at Ortega's marketing department got fired for this. And the USOC has banned Ortega's parent company from ever using Team USA athletes for advertising again.
