03.27.09 THIS BURGER JUST GOT ME HARD

padma6

Carl’s Jr. debuted its new Western Bacon Cheeseburger ad featuring “Top Chef” judge Padma Lakshmi, and it is… wow. (Video below, see for yourself.)  I remember they tried to do this with Paris Hilton and failed miserably because, duh, everyone hates Paris.

But this.  This is a resounding success — assuming that the goal of the commercial was to give me a massive erection every time I smell a bacon cheeseburger. So maybe it’s not the most effective ad in that regard.  Because let’s face it, I’m not gonna buy this six-dollar hamburger, but I will think about this ad as I make love to some warm ground beef.  What?  Don’t act like you’re not thinking about doing it, too.

I’ll only eat a Carl’s Jr. burger if it was pressed against Padma Lakshmi’s crotch.

If that burger was chained up in my basement it would be a lot sexier.

She’s hot…as long as you forget that she used to fuck Salman Rushdie regularly. Also…BILF?

There was a hamburger in that movie? I especially like the part where her top came off. Or was that just me that saw that?

Padma Lakshmi knows that was a cow once, right?

Keep in mind that Salman Rushdie gets to bang this chick every night.

Hmm..so if I get a Fatwa declared against me does that mean I too will probably get an incredibly hot chick?

A “Carl’s Jr” is where Californians go when they feel like eating something a little more fancy than a shit sandwhich.

I saw this commercial online too, but it was for Hardee’s. Is Hardees and Carls Jr now the same thing

It’s what we folks here call Hardee’s.

And i’m Hardee as a fucking rock after watching that ad.

“Keep in mind that Salman Rushdie gets to bang this chick every night.”

Not anymore; they divorced a couple of years ago. However, the fact that she willingly banged him for a few years should take her out of the “I’d Hit That” pool.
