Carl's Jr. commercial - girl riding bull machine..
it is me or is this commercial a bit too suggestive considering the product and audience? The bump and grind from this girl are definitely suggesting 'girl on top' moves and I don't believe they're trying to hide this a bit.. Which brings me to another question. .. isn't Karl Karcher an arch right winger freak? How could they possibly agree to selling burgers by simulated sex? hmmm


I've got nothing with suggestive and/or sexy stuff.. I think for a burger commercial that is shown at all hours it's a bit much

1. haven't seen it, but...
it can't be worse than the "don't bother me, I'm eating" ads... between the zoomed-in guy eating the sloppy burger, and the sloppy sound-effects, I lose my apetite when it comes on! :-)

3. More like a non-sequiter to me.
I mean, how many people try to look sexy eating some gross and nasty sandwich while being turned around in all directions?

4. As Freud said: sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
A corrollary of this saying is: Sometimes a scantily clad woman riding a mechanical bull is just a scantily clad woman riding a mechanical bull.

Haven't seen the add. What is Carl's?

6. Carl's is a hamburger chain
I'm in California... I'm not sure how widespread they are.

12. Lucky you!
If you ever come to California, Nevada or Arizona, I suggest you avoid them like the plague.

9. Right winger are only sexually "moral" if
they can't make money on it. FOX TV has shown that the reich wing are willing to toss all their sexual morality out the window if they can make a buck on their putrid softcore "reality" programs.

11. I can't believe they actually had a woman in their commercials!
Doesn't Carl's only want men to eat their friggin, rancid burgers? Judging by their other commercials, I thought that was the case.

13. They have had several women in their ads
I remember an earlier ad with an attractive woman wearing a silk blouse and eating one of their sloppy burgers. She was getting ketchup all over her shirt and a group of men were staring at her because being a slob is just "so sexy." It was not exactly a leap forward for feminism.

16. Still, that ad was geared towards men most likely
I keep seeing that, Don't Bother me, I'm eating, one with the guys in the hotel room eating and ignoring the girls outside.

Latent homosexuality, if you ask me!

17. Well, it doesn't sound nearly as offensive as "fire grilled"...
And if it is a puke using such methods, that's quite a double-standard considering where the omnipresent religious reich wants everything to be...
