I just watched the Paris Hilton commercial for a hamburger chain, I can't remember which one. But I am curious, are you tempted to buy more hamburgers? What is your opinion concerning this provocative commercial?

I haven't seen it! I'll watch and let you know. I have a hard time with celebrity endorsement advertising. But then I have a problem with a lot of advertising....if you know what I mean.

Oh, what about Jessica Simpson and the buffalo wings a year or so ago?

Yes!! Thank you. I edited the subject name for the posts. Mmmm--I guess that shows how effective it was for me <img src="/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I knew that it was Paris, but forgot her name. You know, I have not seen the burger commercial since I first made the post. They may have removed it, or show it later in the evening.

I was just reminded that it is Paris not Brittney. Apologies to Brittney. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Jean I don't remember the buffalo wings ad was it spicy as well? I am not convinced that spicy or seductive commercial sell products.

Thanks for the links! No I hadn't seen this commercial. To me, the funniest part of the whole thing is that Paris Hilton probably wouldn't even be eating that burger if she wasn't getting paid. After all, you don't get that Audrey Hepburn slinky walk (pelvic thrust is important!) from eating burgers and shakes, tee hee!

"Always walk like you are wearing an invisible crown" P.H.

Seriously though, since when is using sex to sell new? The U.S. is really quite backward in that regard. I once saw a clip for a fitness spa ad (Sweden, I think) where the actress uses her butt cheeks to crack open a walnut! (Anyway you are supposed to believe that she has gotten that strong)

At least the Jessica Simpson coomercial didn't have her "nekkid" and writhing all over a car soaped up and wet! She was just playing dumb blonde. (as opposed to her latest video, oh well-sigh)

Hardee's is the burger joint-I think, and I don't have any idea what the commercial has to do with the burger, it's just sex selling, this is a burger for MEN after all, it's like a 1/2 pounder. I don't see a whole lot of women buying this thing in the first place! <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

What I think is most interesting, and often forgotten in discussion, is that the chain that advertised this nationally is not even in most regions of the US. From what I understand, at the time they were in California exclusively but I know the ads ran here on the East Coast.
