Carl's bad

Carl's Jr., a company that can be called nothing less than creative for connecting a sexy Paris washing cars to hamburgers, is at it again.

And here's one for their Hardee's brand....

Appropriate? I'll bet none of the conservative pro-lifers on this site think so. How about you liberals? Do you have no problem with these?

Comments:

All I could think was "Are there onions on those burgers? Cuz she'll need to brush her teeth before engaging in burger sex"

Do you think cheeseburgers could be used to stop STD's?
Something to ponder....hmmmm....

Why do you need a gyrating woman to sell burgers? It could be a fat guy showing plumbers crack for all I care. It's a hamburger!!

Women have become objects in our society for the pleasure of men. Thank you, sexual revolt.

I wonder if any men really think that these 2 ladies will be at Hardees or Carl Jr's. Lap dance with that burger anyone? LOL! These would have been better advertisements for the grand opening of a strip club.

Heather,
Oh, but had it been for a strip club it would have been degrading!

Fast food is gross. Now if they were holding apples....

I don't know food just doesn't do it for me : (

I gotta tell you, that while it had absolutely nothing to do with the chick in the white suit or the "flatbunned" teacher...I sure do have a hankerin' for a cheeseburger right now. They could have ditched the sex and gone straight for the "real" meat and it would have had the same effect...

Degrading? Absolutely? Bordering on obscene (Young boys and their teacher - what next, lusting after their moms) You betcha? Crass? Oh yeah!

But nonetheless, I still want a burger...

I had to order a veggie burger for our trip to NYC on saturday because they wouldn't let me pack my own lunch. I'm going to try and sneak some fruit though.

Veggie burgers are so gross.

My only problem?

I WISH patty melts on sourdough gave me "flat buns."
My weight has been a lifelong issue, and evey time I see that skinny chick and the patty melt I have a petty, shallow, pissy, bitchy, catty envy attack.
(It's a good thing I LIKE broccoli...)

Laura, don't feel bad. I bet you anything those two bites that girl took were first she'd had in months.

No one can eat that stuff on any sort of regular basis and have "flat buns".

Wait I thought guys like girls with junk in the trunk?

Posted by: Jess at September 13, 2007 1:29 PM


I hate Hardee's commercials. They are always so gross.

At least this one didn't magnify the sounds you make when you are eating....I hit the mute button every time I see one of those commercials....

Jess, I discussed this with my husband once and this was his take on the junk in tha trunk thing.

If a girl is curvy, then it's "hot" to have a big butt, but if she's really skinny and athletic, then a "flat butt" is "hot". I just kind of stared at him.

In case you're wondering, this coversation took place after my son was born when I went from the former to the latter!

"No one can eat that stuff on any sort of regular basis and have "flat buns"."

Oh come on, who wants flat buns? I personally like my fluffy buns:)

Posted by: Rosie at September 13, 2007 2:04 PM


Those didn't bother me a bit.

The first wasn't a bit offensive. Both were tacky- but no more suggestive or revealing than Victoria's Secret commercials.

So what are we saying- sex to sell is allowed as long as you're not selling fast food.?

Why do you need a gyrating woman to sell burgers? It could be a fat guy showing plumbers crack for all I care.

Heather, would you care to lie down on this couch and tell us more about your secret love of fat guys with plumbers crack?

Hey there's one with a pudgy disheveled guy in his underwear who can't open a bag of cereal.

Dad? *tilts head*

No,no, no, just kidding!

Posted by: Jess at September 13, 2007 7:26 PM


@JK: I think I've seen that commercial, it is very funny. :)

Posted by: Rae at September 13, 2007 7:29 PM


Oh, but had it been for a strip club it would have been degrading!

What are you talking about? These commercials are totally degrading! I HATE the use of sex to sell things that have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX!!!! Men or women, regardless... these commercials disgust me, frankly.

Does anyone find that attractive? Honestly? Does anyone find a woman rolling around with a hamburger appealing? Is any man (or woman) here sexually attracted--hey, not even sexually!--by that? I find it repulsive.

Doug, Maybe we can go in on a 2 for 1 special. You can lay on the other couch and explain why you grabbed Gene Wilder's butt.......LOL! gottcha!

Posted by: heather at September 14, 2007 2:07 AM


Hey - I din' grab no butt....

Working in Loa Angeles (Burbank) and was staying at a hotel in North Hollywood, near Universal Studios.

Went out for a run one afternoon, across a street where I had to hurry because traffic was coming, and a guy on the corner bent down to pick something up, and moved back just a little. I slammed into him and down he went.

Gene Wilder and he was mad as heck for a second. I said, "Hey man, I'm sorry..." He straightened up and his expression softened. "Aw it's okay..."

Off I went.

Doug, I hope you knew I was juz jokin!

Posted by: heather at September 14, 2007 11:50 AM


I hadnt seen those before - they got an eye roll and a head shake from me. Someone somewhere at an add agency should have his/her head thumped. All I can think is lame - just lame.
