Carl's Jr. Urges Doctors to Have A Bourbon Before Surgery
For a company like Carl's Jr. to say "Eat Responsibly" is a joke. Oh wait, it's supposed to be a joke or at least we hope it is because they've been hyping their fat-filled, artery clogging burgers for years.
It was one thing to watch a hot socialite seductively eat a burger while making love to a Bentley. It's an entirely different - and a bit disconcerting - to watch a doctor scarf down a Kentucky Bourbon burger between surgeries.
And the commercial's joke? The doctor loves bourbon and obsesses about it before surgeries, during surgeries and just about every minute of the day.
Of course, it's all in jest and, for the most part, all fast food advertising has to be these days. Everyone knows it's not healthy to eat these things in quantity. And, thanks to years of no fat, no trans fat, no sodium, no msg, no cholesterol, no sugar and colon-exploding fiber advertising, there's really no other way to market fast food other than to wink, nod and generally flout any notion of eating healthy...all while snarkly uttering "Eat Responsibly."

well that was a big waste of money. jezz.
Makes you wonder how long they'll run with this campaign.
The sound design in the Carl's Jr. ads have always grossed me out, but they're memorable in that way too I guess.
The one burger I bought there smelled like BO.
Well at least they are honest about the fact they might not be the best thing for your health. They are trying to reach a target market of people who care more about taste than health. I've never tried their food, but if they dont deliver on the taste part they are F*cked.

Carls Jr has gone WAY too far this time. If they thought they would outrage people because any publicity is good publicity... well, they guessed wrong because I'm so offended that I want this company to go out of business now. I think every person who approved this ad should lose their job. I will personally never frequent this establishment again. SO NOT FUNNY.
