Are You the Next Burger Babe?

If you've enjoyed those Carl's Jr./Hardee's ads featuring the likes of celebutante Paris Hilton, "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi and reality star Audrina Patridge getting, uh, intimate with the restaurant chain's signature charbroiled burgers, here's your chance to join their ranks.
Carl's Jr. is presenting an aptly named "Hot Chicks Eating Burgers" contest, where civilian, rather than celebrity, ladies can enter to win a $1,000 cash prize, an all-expenses-paid trip to Vegas and a slot in a future Carl's Jr. or Hardee's marketing campaign. Of course, they want "civilians," but HOT civilians. It's not called the "Average Chicks Eating Burgers" contest, after all.
So how do you put yourself or a burger-loving babe you know in the running? The rules, according to the web site:
Shoot an original video of yourself (a chick), eating a burger. Be sure to introduce yourself, tell us where you (or the girl) is from, and state your favorite Carl's Jr. or Hardee's burger before eating. In order to qualify you need to simply say Hot Chicks Eating Burgers, either in the video, the title, or within the description.You need to upload the video by July 12. Check the official web site for all the details and to upload your video.
Click on the video below to see Audrina Patridge's Carl's Jr. commercial.

I am so sick of commerials that try to sell their product through demeaning devices such as the "not so normal" body of a young, stupid girls. Carl's Jr.'s knows that they haven't a decent burger chain and food and so they use the oldest trick in the book. Yes, these girls look great..but they are not respected and are burger ad sluts. No respect for themselves or anyone else watching. Do they have decent, caring fathers that know men are lusting after their daughters. Do they care. Money. If they were as pretty on the inside as they look on the outside they wouldn't be doing such things. Shame on Carl's Jr for the explotation of young women to promote their products...that says it all.Message Edited by shawna20 on 06-30-2009 12:20 PM

Take a deep breath and shut up! You sound like a frigid old hag. Change the channel!
Besides, Audrina doesn't make me want to run out and put my mouth on a hot juicy burger.
Who are you to judge someone about beauty on the inside. You don't know these people and
I can't stand Audrina on TV, but I would take her over someone who gets all high, mighty and preachy
like you just did.

I didn't find this hot at all really...Paris Hiltons was surprisingly hot, and done the best by far! And I'm not even a Paris fan. Everytime I see a Carl's Jr. Commercial with people eating those huge burgers while sauce is dripping off them, and you can hear the chewing, and crunching, and finger licking, it actually makes me sick a little, and the last thing I want is to eat... and Audrina just sounds dumb with everything she says. At least Paris' commercial had a sense of humor...Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:50:15 GMT | TynMadsMom

Sounds like you may be a little jealous about this commercial. No woman with self confidence would be or should be bothered by this. Maybe you're a little angry that a beautiful young women got a lucky break. The commercial is lame however, you don't know her family back ground you don't know her personality you don't know anything about her so for you to attack her personally makes you just as lame as the commercial its self. Commercials have been geared towards men forever....tell me something new and for you Shawna20......get a problem cause this aint one....unless it's cause you average (maybe even a lil ugly...i don't know), maybe a little chuncky and can't pull off the little tiny gold bikini!!! Which brings me back to my first thought....you are jealousTue, 30 Jun 2009 17:39:06 GMT | msmilehigh

Shawna2o...take a deep breath. #1 Have you thrown out your hot firefighter’s calendar yet? #2 No matter how a woman looks somewhere there is a man that is or would lust after her #3 this is nothing new. Madison Avenue has been using sexy looking women AND men to sell everything from food to beer to homes to clothes for a long, long time now and since there seems to be nothing that will sell anything better I don't envision it stopping anytime soon.Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:45:20 GMT | yankee40

I stopped going to carls junior a long time ago, when they started their male adolescent dream ad campaigns. They are demeaning to women [remember their ode to flat buns?] Recently Burger King followed up with a sponge bob add showing women with short shorts with square boxes stuffed in the back, wiggling them at the opposite. I won't go any of these chains anymore, and neither does my family. The bikini controversy? The least offensive of any of them. I can't hear the crunching/slurping nearly as bad as the others., and at least its just a girl, and not a guy making rude comments while ogling a girl.Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:47:49 GMT | fembot

Obviously, this is a 1200 to 1500+ calorie burger. I would love for someone to do a satire. Digitally manipulate the ladies head, and graft in onto the body of a big fat mama with a beer belly :-)After a few of those burgers per week, Miss hottie will be wearing a tarp instead of a Bikini at the beach!

First of all.. I was as young as this gal was in my day and without hesitation had everything in the right places and perhaps even a better! LOL (Even if I say it myself!) At this point I am wiser and smarter these days. Learn this...There is nothing new under the sun. I have a few years on you all and that gives me the right to tell you how one day all of you will give an account of your time on this earth..every word, every thought and every deed. Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter, it is so. Don't want anyone that goes for this type of crap to have one day give an account of it all. Living with regret is a hard thing to do. I would be amiss if I didn't say all this to you all. It is wrong in the eyes of God. Yes, it is as old as time in it's devices..but read the Words of God and see how it befalls all who has given into to it. The ancients have told you all, David, Samson, etc. Being a smart **bleep** in your answers to me gets you no brownie points. I have no choice but to turn the channel and I do! It is just a shame that what is meant for someone's eyes only is shared with the whole world in such a way as to befall men and yes, some women! Think about it. Never has a firefighter cal and I have never been on the avenue and I am not jealous. I have a daughter and son that are in there 30's and 2 grandsons. I have raised them to respect themsleves. I guess life will go on reguardless, but I am glad that I can express myself and hope that at least one person will get it. If so, then I have done what I need so and will know about it in the by and by. It will snare most of you, I challenge you all to think on what I have said and see if it has you or what.Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:04:01 GMT | shawna20

The bottom line here is that this is a business and a business will do whatever it takes to bring dollars into its pocket. Sex sells, always has, always will, from a business standpoint, this is a smart move especially these days, do whatever needs to be done to keep the lights on and people employed and if that means throwing some hot babe or stud on the screen, then that's what has to be done. Don't take it personal, it's a business. Next I suppose the Dallas cheerleaders and all the NBA cheerleaders will have to go to huh?Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:45:46 GMT | djmags

first off..it's sad that there's a need to debate the necessity for those commercials...i think they're awesome...i'm a chick...shawna20 is too preachy, high and mighty...and what they choose to do is their own decisions and shooting a sexy commericial is not a sign of low self esteem...*being a hooker may be...:P...get over urself shawna2oSun, 05 Jul 2009 02:26:12 GMT | car_car

Very stupid advertising!! Padma Lakshmi's commercial was "nasty trashy". With her legs wide open all the time we really couldn't tell what she was selling. Makes us want to eat at Subway.Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:25:40 GMT | scislandgirl
