Audrina Patridge Likes More Than Just A Piece of Meat
Back in June, we noted The Hills babe Audrina Patridge would soon make her debut in a Carl's Jr. commercial. That day has arrived. In the commercial, we get to hear how Audrina has to give up "like everything" to look as hot as she does in a bikini. But the one thing she won't give up is the Carl's Jr. Teriyaki Burger with which she's "totally obsessed" and cuz, ya know, she has to be "a little bad."
While Barbara Lippert says she "appreciate(s) that it's a somewhat more natural setup than having Paris Hilton hose down a luxury car while sucking and licking the burger on all fours," we still think the Paris Hilton spot was the best Carl's Jr. commercial ever. Bikini + soapy water + famous socialite in her prime = gold.
This type of commercial used to spark all sorts of sexism debate. Now, they come and go like State Farm Insurance ad. There;s no controversy, no outcry, no anti-sexism campaigns from women's cause groups. Nope. We have been numbed. Numbed into submission by the hotness of women eating head-sized burgers on the beach...or while washing a Bentley. Doesn't anyone miss the day when this stuff was actually exciting?
Shot in Malibu, the commercial was created by Mendelsohn Zien.
