WHY Carl's Jr. Is Making 'Sexytime' with Bacon Cheeseburgers

articles.latimes.com — LAT Ad Critic: The former Mrs. Salman Rushdie is sitting on a stoop in a sundress hiked up mid-thigh, cramming a giant burger into her maw and sucking bbq sauce from her fingers and wrists. Let's not mince onions here: This is sex with a burger. It's the job of advertisers' imagery to push health consequences as far offstage as possible.

    This should help you calm down. Please come back when you can afford to make a purchase.
    Your kids are starving. Carl's Jr. believes that no child should go hungry. You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr.

    Carl's Jr...”***** You, I'm Eating."
  • inactive, on 04/28/2009, -3/+27Maybe this is just her way of saying she wants her ass crack licked with BBQ Sauce smeared all over it.
  • govsucks, on 04/28/2009, -5/+27MAN, WHO GIVES A *****! That woman is ALLL KIND OF FINE! I don't eat their burgers anyway, else how could I get a fine honey like that.

  • captainmarvel, on 04/28/2009, -0/+13False advertising. She barely kissed the thing.

  • AmyVernon, on 04/28/2009, -1/+13Awesome line: "All future correspondence to Mendelsohn Zien and Applebaum should be addressed to the Eighth Circle of Hell."
  • daschupa, on 04/28/2009, -1/+12Man, I ate Carl's for every meal and the advertising is spot on, eating these will make beautiful women flock to you. Plus, they are the ideal woman! They come in every hour and give you food, change the tv channel for you, make sure you're comfortable, AND change your bedpan.

  • TheNyquilKid, on 04/28/2009, -0/+9Carl's Jr. Frowns Upon Vandalism.
  • Nateon, on 04/28/2009, -0/+9The only offensive thing about that is how utterly annoying that ad is and the fact it comes on during every commercial break possible.
  • oxymoron69, on 04/28/2009, -0/+9Damn that's a good movie, I should watch it again soon!

  • scoottie, on 04/28/2009, -0/+7Eating burgers is not bad for you. Eating 20 burgers a day is bad for you.
  • inactive, on 04/28/2009, -0/+7My biggest gripe with Carl's Jr. is that their burgers seem to explode when you take a bite. Take a bite, and boom, ya got condiments and toppings flying everywhere.
  • bobbknight, on 04/28/2009, -0/+6And to think she used to get it on with "Satanic Verses" FTW!
  • charlie6969, on 04/28/2009, -0/+6Carl Jr's hamburgers HAVE to be a sin! OMG they are yummy.
    They aren't gonna sell them if they correctly point out that continued use of their product causes heart attacks. DUH!
  • Chremylus, on 04/28/2009, -0/+5This ad just oooooozes sex.

  • luckymachete, on 04/28/2009, -0/+5Some of the best turns of phrase I've seen in an article.
  • Anightowl, on 04/28/2009, -0/+5For the first time in my life, I wish I was a burger...
  • neelshiv, on 04/28/2009, -0/+5Damn, I can't believe 61 year old Salman Rushdie is pulling in that kind of tail. That's awesome.
  • JohnA, on 04/28/2009, -0/+5I see what you did there.
  • gregh, on 04/28/2009, -0/+5It's Hardee's over here.

  • sizzzzlerz, on 04/28/2009, -0/+4I'd like to see a merger between Carl's Jr. and Burger King so that she and that plastic Burger King thing could make beautiful burger sex together. Yowza!
  • Maddoktor2, on 04/28/2009, -0/+4MORE MOLECULES !!
  • badenglishihave, on 04/28/2009, -0/+4I fold.
  • Windfish, on 04/28/2009, -0/+4I'd give her a bit of meat to put between her buns, if she wanted bacon and cheese at the same time all the better.
  • sodaman300, on 04/28/2009, -0/+4Didn't Jessica Simpson do something similar for Burger King a few years ago?
  • klovely78, on 04/28/2009, -0/+4Can't go wrong with her: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/galleries/grin_a ...
  • dafragsta, on 04/28/2009, -0/+3That was hot and now I'm hungry. Carl's Jr. has been doing this for at LEAST the 10 years since they moved into Oklahoma. I remember seeing their initial commercials with people eating burgers like slobs and getting juices all over the place and licking it off. This one just has a much more attractive model.
  • Fullvinyl, on 04/28/2009, -0/+3You could always just turn the page.
  • wjlaw100, on 04/28/2009, -0/+3Do you want this with Cottage Cheese left on it, or without.....
  • drinkgreentea, on 04/28/2009, -2/+5I cant see how this guy was offended by the sir mix a lot commercial for burger king out of all things out there to be offended by.
  • Otto, on 04/28/2009, -0/+3Longer version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8nJKa13sBo
