Vic hamburger sex mural 'to be edited'

A large Melbourne mural depicting people having sex in a giant hamburger "might have crossed a few lines", says the mayor of the local council.

A Melbourne council will "edit" a mural on a building that depicts people having sex in a giant hamburger.

The mural, commissioned by a Brunswick business owner, contains bodies in various sexual positions, entangled with lettuce, cheese and tomato in a sesame seed bun.

"Art is certainly in the eye of the beholder, but our arts and culture team does think there are a couple of parts of the image that might have crossed a few lines," Moreland Mayor Meghan Hopper told AAP on Thursday.

The council has asked street artist Makatron to edit a few parts of the painting, but says it wants "to keep the public artwork intact".
