Carl's Jr. Commercial (Mechanical Bull Edition)

Okay so who has seen Carl's Jr.'s latest attempt to sell their six dollar burger using, you guessed it, sex. Now they have used this commercial before but I have seen it several times in the last week on tv. And I am sick of it. Can advertisers really not think of something better than a young white blonde woman riding a mechanical bull with "slow ride, take it easy" playing in the background with close ups of her hips and the obvious sex action that it is implying. REALLY!! This commercial does not make me want to eat at Carl's Jr. in fact it does the opposite and I doubt I will eat there again!

Now I can't say this surprises me looking at all the other commercials Carl's Jr. has come up with, there is the Paris Hilton car wash, the "flat buns," the buffalo wings with waitress and girlfriend, and the milk shake commercial. But these commercials are using women as sexual objects and it is just disgusting. Every time the commercial comes on I start yelling at my television and so I had to blog about it ...

Update: Watch Target Women
