  • Mmmmm......uh........hamburger!

    So.  Cultural imperative compels me to stick to the tv theme for the moment.  Only I didn't see Paris ( this link is a digitized online version of the commercial, and Mom, you might not want to click) on tv, of course, I watched her in the (more-or-less) private adult space of my cubicle at work.

    Schizophrenic reaction: 

    • 43-year-old been-around-the-block-more'n-once female:  Whoa!  Soap me up, baby!
    • Mother-of-two:  Hon?  Know how I put you and that damned tv in your own separate room?  Well, get out the childproof locks.  Distance is not sufficient; that device requires absolute isolation.
    • Disinterested student of human behavior:  So if I show this to the kids, will they react as follows?

    *this conversation is a figment of my imagination*
    Ms. 4:  Why is she wearing those spiky shoes to wash her car?
    Ms. 7:  [all big-sister-like] She isn't washing her car, silly.........
    Ms. 4:  [thoughtfully] No, she's crawling all over it.  That looks like fun.
    Ms. 7:  ....she's washing herself.
    Ms. 4:  Why would you wear a swimsuit to wash yourself?
    Ms. 7:  I wonder what her Mom said when she ruined the camera by spraying the hose on it.

  • well
    i don't watch tv very often, and when i do?  wrong channel no doubt.
    saw a blurb online about it but can't access movies at home b/c of dial up
    and can't access video clips here at work if i want to keep my job.

    i'll tell ya what faith....it's a damned shame i can't see her in all her glory. 
    makes me sad.

    ....

    okay i'm over that bit o'sad.
    :-]

  • I almost blogged about this the other day.  Paris never has done much for me, I guess I just don't like the waytooskinnyandhavelittletooffersociety-look.  But that was one good looking hamburger, yes siree!

  • Ok, I watched the clip.  I'm confused about one thing:  what's all this talk about a hamburger?

  • They've banned that commercial in some places-- I just thought it was ridiculous and plays on the fact that she's done porn (okay, not intentionally but she knew there was a camera on filming her as she sucked on that guy's... um... whopper!)...

    and have you heard? mayhaps the height of narcissicism-- she's marrying some guy named Paris.

  • It's nutty, but it's definitely an attention-grabber.

  • I think it's hysterically genius, man.  bahahahaa.

  • i don't care how good the burger is, that commercial makes me retchy.

    here's a poem i just wrote:

    paris, christina,
    britney, angelina...
    they all make me hurl
    you know what i meana?

    and yes, that is the best poem you've ever heard.

  • lordy...I really do live under the proverbial rock! I hadn't even heard of this.
    We don't have Carl's JR, here, but if we did, I don't doubt the networks would be climbing all over each other to get this commercial on the air. She's the Japanese male's dream. I find her bony...but that's just personal preference...I know some people go for the heroin chic body. All the softcore porn aside, the idea that a body like that could regularly consume a hamburger the size of its head...ludicrous.

    I guess I'm just not good enough at suspending the disbelief....

  • Gee.  I didn't see it either, and I didn't miss much.  I think I'm gonna go read some Shakespeare

  • actually, even reading "The Cat in the Hat" would be better diversion. how silly. . .  and how sad.

  • I don't think I'm a prude, but this is just stooopid. 

  • What ever happened to truth in advertising?  I know for a fact that she'd never wash a car, and I find it hard to believe that she actually eats anything, much less hamburgers.  I guess that the one good thing we can all be grateful for:  At least it wasn't a speaking role.

  • lol.  Advertising and truth NEVER went hand in hand. 

    I have watched more tv lately than I have in the past ten years.  My mother (who you'll remember I now live with?) watches a lot.  I watch with her so that she doesn't get lonely.  When she isn't home I am on the computer looking for a job or reading a book or doing chores.   

  • Our satellite subscription has been cancelled end of month for the same-ish reason. I think my kids are starting to clue in that viagra is not an allergy medication. Hopefully the Paris commercial won't air up here, and I don't plan to go looking for it.

  • Paris doesn't turn me on, but the image of her washing the fancy car is not congruous at all with a burger...  you'd think she was shilling tacos, at least! 

  • I guess I must be a prude because I find that commercial appalling.  That's not for prime time tv.  --and what the heck does having sex with your car have to do with eating a burger?  Maybe that's the cigarette of the 2000's. 

  • What will they think of next? {rolling my eyes} ... I don't think I'd want to eat that burger, what with all that soap and everything    Left me a bit ... cold.

  • Working hard to get this petition signed.... Can I ask for your help?

  • Yeah, right- as if Paris Hilton would actually wash her own car! How believable is that? Blessings abound
