fast food + softcore porn = Carl's Jr.

Know why the Carl's Jr. star logo thingy is always smiling?
'Cuz he be thinkin' 'bout somethin' nasty-nast!!!

I live under a rock.
Netflix, people!
Who needs TV?

I saw a Carl's Jr. commercial for the first time the other day. Um... skanky! I'm no prude; I'm aware that sex sells and that's just part of our culture. Love it, hate it. It is what it is...

But fast food? I mean, they sell kids' meals with toys and star-shaped chicken nuggets, forgoodnesssakes! We're not talking about ads for liquor or cigarettes, or some preview for a blockbuster R-rated movie.

We're talking about a fast food joint. With a kiddie menu. And an interactive website for children. Toys. Coloring pages. Fun-shaped food. Cookies and ice-cream...

And softcore porn for ads. On daytime TV. Billboards. Magazines. Etc...

I've only eaten there a couple times because there is a drive-thru conveniently close by my home.
But never again, ever.

I know what you're talking about. There's a commercial for a pulled-pork burger with two women grilling. One of them, the blonde one, is a host on G4's Attack of the Show. And that's not the first risque ad they've done. I can think of two other ones, one of which I think had Paris Hilton in it. Paris Hilton alone made the commercial displeasing. She's one of those spoiled rich girls who's famous for nothing. But anyway, you have a very good point.

I'm definitely not a prude either, but they have to be careful about what they show in their commercials. Like you said, those fast-food places sell kids meals and stuff like that. Even if their doing it for something like a beer commercial, that's probably something they ought to show at a time when there aren't impressionable kids around the TV.
