good for carl jr.
Carl’s Jr. not sorry for sexy Paris Hilton ad - May. 24, 2005
Carl’s Jr.’s message to the PTC: “Get a life.” “This isn’t Janet Jackson — there is no nipple in this,” said Andy Puzder, the CEO of Carl’s Jr., a subsidiary of CKE Restaurants (Research). “There is no nudity, there is no sex acts — It’s a beautiful model in a swimsuit washing a car.”
what absolute crap. this is the reactionary world we live in now. i swear it’s like advocacy groups get more and more extreme with each passing moment. i’m glad carl jr.’s is taking a stand. it’s f-in’ ridiculous.
Caldwell says that because the ad is airing during sports programs, and FOX’s “OC”, which are heavily watched by teens, it promotes sexuality to an audience that might not be ready for it.
you know what? you think this commercial is too racy or whatever? it’s playing during the OC. which, if i’m not mistaken (i don’t watch the OC), featured an attempted rape, a lesbian relationship (not that i have a problem with this, but i’d imagine it’s the kind of thing that this type of adovcacy group would have a problem with), severe alcoholism, etc. if you think the commercial is bad, hmm, maybe you shouldn’t let your kid watch the OC. your teen can’t handle a paris hilton burger commercial? how about instead of bitching about it, you just have a serious, open, frank discussion with your kids, who you are already letting watch a show with what has to be questionable material in your eyes.
