Most of us have seen more of her than the typical gynecologic exam would reveal. This ad is stupid. I kept expecting her to mount the hood ornament. ---

It is obvious that americans would get upset over this. It is too hot only for the USA. That being said, who really cares? ---

I’ve never found Paris Hilton attractive (way too skinny, plus she seems like a vapid and mean person), but if she eats enough of these cheeseburgers, she might get a sexier, fuller figure. ---

Not likely to happen, I’m sure she gave the spit bucket a good workout. Crew member: “Er … Ms. Hilton, you’re just supposed to spit out the burger you just took a bite off, not your entire lunch.” Paris: “Shut up! Don’t you know who I am? You’re ugly, why should I listen to you? Go away!” ---

Now it would be more clever if only they could make some correllation between Paris and the burgers…like how she could use one…and how her intelligence equals that of one. ---

> [@Little Bird](#): > > Those buckles, the spiked heels, her collar bone…she’s gonna scratch that car up something awful… So help me, that’s the first thing I thought… “Good LORD, get that idiot away from the Bentley with those buckles” I’m not quite sure how, but i think it’d be less sexy if she was actually naked. ---

I was just thinking how she was washing that car and getting soap suds all over herself, but she should really have taken a moment to wash her hands before picking up the burger and eating it. For what it’s worth, it’s a very sexy ad that definitely does what it’s supposed to do, and Paris even comes across as sexy (in a skanky/slutty way, despite not being my physical type). I just think it could have been exponentially hotter with almost any other “it girl” slithering around and washing the car. ---

I agree. The porn factor completely a function of Paris being such an unregenerate skank. The objection clearly isn’t to people doing sexy things to sell burgers, it’s to Paris doing sexy things during prime-time, because the mere sight of her is tantamount to having her box shoved in your face. Hell, it already has been, pretty much. ---

Sure! But in case you’re on Atkins, the Paris’ Box Happy Meal also comes with a tossed salad. ---

Better than those commercials where they have the noises of people eating. Those turned my stomach. Way to improve, Carl’s!! ---

All I can say is that I now know why she has chosen acting rather than dancing as a “profession.” Girl moves like a Holstein.
