Paris Hilton Burger Ad Called 'Soft Porn' By Parental Group
<snip>

LOS ANGELES -- An official with a media watchdog group is describing an ad starring a scantily clad Paris Hilton frolicking with a water hose as "basically soft-core porn."

Melissa Caldwell is with the Parents Television Council. She said the ad for Carl's Jr. hamburgers is "inappropriate" for television.

The commercial shows Hilton vamping in a revealing swimsuit as she soaps and rinses a black Bentley. She also takes a bite out of a Carl's Jr. hamburger. The commercial ends with Hilton's signature tag line, "that's hot."

The Los Angeles Times reported that the group plans to mobilize its more than 1 million members to protest. It's also considering asking the Federal Communications Commission to declare the ad indecent.

A Carl's Jr. spokesman said Hilton fascinates the chain's most loyal customers -- "young, hungry guys" as well as "young, hungry gals."

1. Not Porn Just BAD!
That is the stupidest commercial. Like Stephanie Miller said this morning, it's the second Paris Hilton video where she's caught with something embarassing in her mouth.

2. Carl's Jr. just has a string of winners, doesn't it
"If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face." Maybe time to change agencies? Hmm?

5. There is a "meat" or "beef" joke in here that I am just NOT going for.
I am proud of me. I think.

12. It's better than that disturbingly creepy "burger king"
and as Nigel Tufnel would say, "what's wrong with being sexy?"

15. I remember a few years back there was a similar commercial - Coke/Pepsi
showed a supermodel hosing herself off on a hot day, holding a can of cola - two pre-teen boys were watching, and one expressed an intense desire for a Coke/Pepsi.

Wonder if there was a protest then?
