Ghost of a flea: I Love Paris in the Springtime

I Love Paris in the Springtime

Sadly, Paris Hilton's ad for Carl's Jr. may never be aired. I am counting on "the internet" to step into the breach. Or in this case, breeches.

CKE Restaurants, which has a reputation for politically incorrect advertising, tapped the sexy socialite for a new Carl's Jr. TV spot. The problem, according to a source, is the spot is meeting with some resistance from network executives. "It couldn't be more pornographic," said the source. "It's about as racy as I've seen."

Set to the song "I Love Paris in the Springtime," the 30-second spot, via Mendelsohn/Zien in Los Angeles, shows Hilton washing a car "with hoses shooting everywhere and her soaping everything up," said the source. Touting the BBQ Six Dollar Burger, it plays off her catch phrase, "That's hot."

Oh, my. I wanna see that commercial, too. Someone should get in contact with them and offer to spread the ad around the web f.o.c.!

Am I the only one who has found the Carl's Jr. ads kind of repulsive up to now?

Bring Paris on. It won't be any classier but at least we get to look at a bumpy female rather than a nose-picking clot who wipes his mouth on his sleeve.

I mean, if you just gotta sell your product on its declasse' appeal, at least lets have some old fashioned T & A.
