Ahhh, how different (read: better) our lives would be without the faux-celeb stars of The Hills running around.
According to People, Audrina Patridge recently finished shooting a commercial for the Carl’s Jr. Teriyaki Six Dollar Burger. Audrina said of the shoot:
I had an absolute blast shooting. It was my first experience shooting a spot with food, and when I pulled up, I was literally salivating looking at all the rows and rows of perfect burgers waiting for me!
She doesn’t claim to be a vegetarian, but posing in a PETA adoption ad generally means you are against killing animals. Especially when the ad says “Buying animals means killing animals.”
But don’t worry, if the animal only costs six bucks (in teriyaki burger form of course) it won’t be a problem.
We’re thrilled that Audrina has joined Padma and Paris in the burger commercial club. They’re just so…juicy.
The ad and burgers launch June 24th. I know I’ll be in line, six bucks in hand.

So is this a hypocritical move on her part or PETA?
Either way, this has given me a great idea about what to do the next time the latter sends their representatives to solicit me for donations
(here’s a hint, it involves teriyaki sauce and a shark tank…)
So Audrina’s joining the super-douches at Carl’s Jr, eh? Not too surprising.

And by the way, if I’m going to hand over six freakin’ bucks for a burger, it won’t be at this fleabag joint.
$6?! Um, yeah right.
P.S. Despite the seductive posing, it’s not as skanky (and vomit-inducing) as Paris’ atrocity of a commerical. At least I find Padma Lakshmi sexy. A woman with an education is just plain hot.
If there’s any company that I loathe more than PETA for the way they portray women, it’s Carl’s Jr. A friend and I actually had shirts printed up saying “I boycott Carl’s Jr.” after the Paris Hilton ad a few years ago (that ad was the final straw in a long line of disrespectful, over-sexualized ads featuring women), and we’ve managed to raise a lot of awareness about the issue. Did you know that Carl’s Jr. partnered with Maxim magazine to create a little harem of “Carl’s Girls?” Yeah, that resulted in a nice spread of these girls doing housework in nothing but a little apron to hide the naughty bits and profile pics of them opening their mouths as wide as possible to deep throat a fistful of french fries. Anyway, long rant just to say that I hate Carl’s Jr. and can’t understand why these girls keep objectifying themselves for Carl’s Jr. or PETA or, in this case, both. Have they no dignity?
Still don’t understand why all these women have anything at all to do with PeTA — especially if they aren’t as militant. The association just usually makes people shake their heads, not like them more.
I’d rather place the blame for the degrading of women on the women who agree to it rather than the corporation… that said, I’m not much of a Carl’s Jr. fan ’cause they’re dirty and greasy, but suddenly my longing for a western burger (that I ate less than once a year) skyrocketed once I came back east.
Huh.
I guess it’s nice to live in an area of the country blessedly free of Carls Jr. and their ad campaigns.
I’m hungry…
Where I’m from, we have Hardee’s (which, I believe, was bought out several years back by Carl’s Jr.). Their food is essentially breaded lard fried in lard, with a side of lard. So meh to the menu, and I couldn’t possibly give less of a crap about this soulless whore shilling for them. She’s a hypocrite, but I didn’t care what she thought or did one way or another, even before this.
Beige:
I live in Tennessee and there are no Carl’s Jrs. in my city (there weren’t any where I was orginally from – MA) but we did have Hardee’s. When I first moved down here, they had an ad for the Hawaiian Tropic Burger with was slopped with pineapples, beef and cheese. And basically it looked gross and turned me off from Carl’s Jr. AND Hardee’s. Their burgers are not only nasty looking, but disgusting (my friends go there as a last resort if Krystal’s is packed at 3am).
I’ll say it again, $6 is outrageous for slop of processed meat. You could get 3-4 tasty Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers at Wendy’s with that much. And maybe even a Frosty…
Great. I’m hungry now too!
You are so lucky, Meg. Tennessee is a beautiful state. Southwest Georgia, OTOH, is a runny festering skidmark and should be ceded to some third-world country, which would then have to invest in substantial improvements to bring it up to their standards.
It’s not so much the company represented in the ads…its the idiot women who are agreeing that they are pieces of meat. They want to be labelled as a piece for sale, and being as they got paid for repesenting themselves as such on TV they are nothing but prostitutes…..they openly admit it by accepting the money.
“And by the way, if I’m going to hand over six freakin’ bucks for a burger, it won’t be at this fleabag joint.” same here MC mom.. if i’d want a burger i’d go to in n out burger. (i think they’re only in california, arizona, and nevada)
Hee. I wonder how long Deadeye O’Trampy would look that trim, if she really ate burgers as big as her…head. Eating real food is not usually how you get to look like that.
The burgers don’t cost $6, that’s just what they are called. They cost around $3-$4. The idea is that they are as good as a $6 burger at a fancier restaurant.
DO NOT BAG ON HARDEE’S! Their steak and cheese bisquit’s are to die for! Especially when you have a massive hangover.
Up nort here, da Hardee’s all turned inta Tim Hortons, eh?
Oh yeah, Tim Hortons, eh. Beauty.
Tim Hortons, Hardees, Carls Jr., In n Out…we got none of that stuff here in the Hub. Which might not be a terrible thing.
well the lady certainlyt has better taste than he co protestors dr. lavigne and the suddenly silent ms. fink. i say she has better taste than them as she apparently has not been supplied the perfect beverage to was the hamburg down with. too bad the dua kept the formula for the combination to the seal dog and deer penis wine when they took up the sport of protesting against seal hunts and animal cruelty. ever wonder how the very vocal ms. fink got her hands on a large and fresh enough supply of any one of the three penises? penii? to make the drink up?
apparently for some strange reason the animal rights groups on both sides of the atlantic DO NOT seem ready and willing to show any intent of thier wanting to protest this form of animal crulety. did’ja wonder why?
