I'd rather watch a retarded orangotang than Paris Hilton trying to be sexy as she washes a car (like she's ever done that before). posted by fenriq at 10:00 AM on June 16, 2005

Now I finally get to see the original that all my American friends are talking about!!!
Wash a car or be sexy? posted by XQUZYPHYR at 10:50 AM on June 16, 2005
Just saw the ad for the first time ever. I'm not suprised to see she didn't swallow. posted by sourwookie at 10:55 AM on June 16, 2005
So now we're talking about Hot Carl's on Metafilter? posted by CCK at 11:01 AM on June 16, 2005
xquzyphyr, both obviously. posted by fenriq at 11:02 AM on June 16, 2005
I had no idea where they were going with that, and then I laughed out loud. Great ad. Thank you! posted by fandango_matt at 11:07 AM on June 16, 2005
The problem with the Hilton ad, is all I could think of was, there's no chance in hell she would ever eat that burger. posted by drezdn at 11:11 AM on June 16, 2005
How does she manage to look like a speed freak or crack whore when she's got such healthy skin, teeth and hair? posted by BrotherCaine at 11:35 AM on June 16, 2005
drezdn, she might eat it, but not keep it. posted by BrotherCaine at 11:35 AM on June 16, 2005
Oh yes, thin people are always druggies or have eating disorders. Or both. posted by lazy-ville at 12:09 PM on June 16, 2005
I liked both commercials. posted by Cyrano at 12:14 PM on June 16, 2005
As a heterosexual male, I'd have to say that the new version is sexier than the old one. I do envy Paris Hilton for being not only rich but also shameless, so she can fully enjoy her wealth. But she should just stick to partying and what-not and stop trying to be seen all the time. posted by lazy-ville at 12:17 PM on June 16, 2005
I've never been to a Carl's Jr. (or a Sonics, even though we see their ads here on the East Coast all the time for some reason). Any good? posted by jonmc at 12:37 PM on June 16, 2005
lazy-ville, I've seen plenty of thin people who look great, and or healthy, but Paris is not one of them. Maybe it's related more to a particular type of plastic surgery, I don't know. posted by BrotherCaine at 12:59 PM on June 16, 2005
Paris Hilton actually does eat that, and a lot of other unhealthy garbage.
I don't understand why people hate her. I love her. She is rich, hot, famous, and does nothing for it. That is my dream in life.
jonmc- My friends wrote Sonic a letter about being constantly bombarded with their commercials, but not one Sonic exists in the entire state of Pennsylvania. Sonic replied saying that they plan to expand. It seems to me they're wasting a lot of money advertizing something that isn't avaliable. posted by ackeber at 1:05 PM on June 16, 2005

Maybe they'll put one in Queens for me. I know there's a Long John Silver's in the Bronx, only one in the Five Boroughs. I hope so, the food in the ads looks mighty tasty. posted by jonmc at 1:25 PM on June 16, 2005

I for one don't expend energy hating her. I just think she's a vapid money-whore, personally. And stupid. I'm fairly sure that she's fence-post dumb. Fence-post dumb people that are "popular" simply reinforce the idea that in order to be popular, you have to be a vapid money-whore, and really, there are zillions of kids who could do without being bombarded with that crap day in and day out. posted by Medieval Maven at 1:38 PM on June 16, 2005

I don't hate her, but I do hate celebrity worship. posted by BrotherCaine at 2:39 PM on June 16, 2005
If her IQ isn't actually subpar and she purposely behaves that way, it's actually worse, as that plays to another of my pet peeves --- pretty girls aren't smart and smart girls aren't pretty. posted by Medieval Maven at 3:57 PM on June 16, 2005
I don't know, maybe it's because I'm blonde, and I think it's cuter and sweet.
Mrgrimm, I guess she is dumb after all. posted by NickDouglas at 10:41 PM on June 16, 2005
My wife is cute and as smart as a whip.
And she pulls both off both off beautifully... posted by Samizdata at 12:23 AM on June 17, 2005

Paris is given an allowance by the family 'fund'. It's not that much. Most of the money she can spend comes from reality TV, commercials, movies and porn videos, actualy. posted by delmoi at 10:07 AM on June 17, 2005
ackeber, she's part of the Rise of the Bimbos in the US that makes being hot and stupid the formula for success. As Chuck D calls it, the Dumbassification of America. Look at Anna Nicole, look at Jessica Simpson, look at Paris. Blond, passably hot and either acting as stupid as the proverbial fence post or really are as stupid as the fence post. Either way, the worship of stupidity is a dangerous road.
I'm way more attracted to brains AND beauty, which is why I married a brain surgeon/supermodel. posted by fenriq at 11:37 AM on June 17, 2005
