Audrina Patridge for Carl’s Jr. is the latest in sexy fast food marketing, but does a disco bikini-clad reality star pretending to dig her chompers into a gigantic burger really make you want to sacrifice your own beach figure and run out for some fattening fries?
"I had an absolute blast shooting," the New York Daily News quoted Audrina Patridge. "I was cracking up because I would take a bite, and almost immediately a food handler with white gloves would have a brand new burger ready."
Can someone please explain why making out with a cheeseburger is a turn-on? It was funny when Paris Hilton did it (but she can get away with just about anything) for Carl’s Jr. Padma Lakshmi’s seemed like a funny spoof of Hilton’s, but now Audrina Patridge for Carl’s Jr? It’s just too much for me…
