Parent Group Proliferates Paris ‘Porn’ Commercial

When will people learn. If you don’t like something and you want it to go away, don’t say anything. Certainly don’t make comments you know will get picked up by every major publication in the world thereby destroying the strategy you set out to accomplish. Obviously when Television Council research Director Melissa Caldwell’s Mom said “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all,” Melissa wasn’t listening. Nope. She had to go open her big mouth to complain about the Car’s Jr. Paris Hilton commercial saying, “This commercial is basically soft-core porn It’s inappropriate for television.” If Caldwell didn’t realize that comment would get every media outlet, including this one to, once again, wag our tongues and drooling even more publicity all over Miss Hilton and Carl’s Jr., well, then, she needs to go to her room until she can say something nice.

To help Melissa’s cause so that we all know what we’re not supposed to see, here’s another link to the “soft-core porn” commercial.
