That’s Hot! Too Hot

Maximizing publicity like Tom Cruise trotting out Katie Holmes, Carl’s Jr. reports the website, which hosts its new ad in which Paris Hilton appears washing a Bentley and chomping on Carl’s Jr.’s Spicy BBQ Burger in a stringy black swimsuit, crashed for four hours today due to the hormonal onslaught of male eyeballs ogling the soap covered heiress as she has virtual sex with the Bentley.

Commenting on the crash, Carl’s Jr. EVP of Marketing Brad Haley said, “It was a mixed blessing. It turned out that Paris was too hot for our servers.” well put, Brad, but are you sure you didn’t just ask your IT guys to turn off the servers for a while to…oh…create this publicity stunt?
