Steff Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/people_hilton Parental Group Says Hilton Ad Too Hot Tue May 24, 8:56 AM ET LOS ANGELES - A Carl's Jr. commercial starring a scantily clad Paris Hilton frolicking with a water hose is too hot for a media watchdog group. ADVERTISEMENT "This commercial is basically soft-core porn," said Melissa Caldwell, research director for the Los Angeles-based Parents Television Council. "It's inappropriate for television." The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that the group plans to mobilize its more than 1 million members to protest and is considering asking the Federal Communications Commission to declare the ad indecent. The commercial shows the hotel heiress and reality TV star 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 for the jalapeno-laden "Spicy BBQ Six-Dollar Burger" ends with Hilton's signature tag line, "that's hot." "Paris was chosen to star in the ad because she is an intriguing cultural icon and the 'it girl' of the moment," Brad Haley, marketing chief for Carl's Jr., said in a statement issued before the commercial began airing last week. "She fascinates Carl's Jr.'s most loyal customers, 'young, hungry guys,' as well as 'young, hungry gals,'" Haley said. The company is known for its racy television ads, one of which featured a woman eating a burger while riding a mechanical bull. Another starred Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner and several playmates. :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I saw it on MLB.tv getting the Angels feed. It made up for also having to sit through 8 innings of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 What else is new? Paris Hilton IS walking, talking porn. On her reality show, they had her making sausage, in the next episode, she was in a barn with a horse. C'mon, even the preacher's sons pick up on the innuendo. Why wasn't Jurassic asked to join her in the ad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerCaseRepublican Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 The best part about these "This is too obscene!" pseudo-debates that goes on nationally -- the clip gets played about 2837498237893274823473984 times on TV which means that more and more people will see the supposedly objectionable clip, including the children that groups like the PTVC pretend to want to protect.

I just hope that the Carls Jr. rotating sign is in heavy rotation during the game tonight. Fatolo will probably get hungry and distracted.

TheBigHurt35 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'm assuming that Carl's Jr. is affiliated with Hardee's? The logos are very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Carls bought out Hardy's way back when I think. I don't think Hardy's was always affiliated with them because Carls Jr. was originally started out in New York City as a hot dog stand (IIRC). Personally I am a big fan of Carls, especially back when the famous star was 99 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
