Previously thought to be too hot for TV, the Carl’s Jr. commercial, featuring Paris Hilton in a revealing bathing suit, lasciviously slathering soap suds on the side of a Bentley with a big ass BBQ Six Dollar Burger to the tune of “I Love Paris in Springtime,” will air nationally tomorrow night on Entertainment Tonight followed by local placement in Western states. To maximize the PR quotient of this too-hot-but-maybe-not-that-hot strategy, the company plans to release a racier, 60 second version of the spot on its website as well.
Likely to be far more popular than her recent movie, House of Wax, the ad promises to be “appealing to our demographic,” said CKE Restaurants Inc. President and CEO Andrew Puzder.
UPDATE: The full spot can be viewed here.
