Ya know, I have plenty of things kicking around in my back log and too many restaurants I should be writing about but it is Friday.
It is the freaking weekend as R. Kelly would say.
So instead of telling you about another slice of carrot cake or regaling you with another story about my complete inability to make a healthy decision, I give you this.
Right. I know. Another burger. But for this one, both boys and girls alike, I think you can forgive me.
Don’t leave any evidence behind.

I’m not sure if that was supposed to make me giggle as much as it did.. but I am definitely giggling.
I think it was.

As if she’s actually going to finish that thing. Notice the bite in the burger never gets any bigger, despite her licking and slurping and other sexy time actions. This is like when J-Lo poses with an ice cream cone… you never actually see it touch her.
Go vegan.
I bet J-Lo eats more than Padma.

Before seeing Raquel’s comment I was going to ask if anyone thought she even swallowed any of that. I guess the barbecue sauce since it was liquid and she licked it, but the burger itself? Doubt it.
I mean…she does eat on Top Chef. I guess here is a possibility.

Great.
I know what I’m having for lunch today.
Some Padma, obviously.
Her scar is so hot.

I’m assuming since I can’t pull it up at work, that’s it’s a naughty burger.
Not really…I guess. Yeah, a bit naughty. I am a bad person to ask what is naughty and what is not.

I never thought you could make eating a sloppy, dripping, massive, bacon-topped burger sexy. But, get a beautiful woman, show some cleavage and finger licking and long legs, throw on a track of bad soft porn music, and there ya go. Marketing genius/madness.
Sex sells. We are all such simple creatures, aren’t we?

I would do a lot of very, very bad things to Padma. So bad that once we were done, she’d never tell anyone about the things that had just transpired.
Hm. Sounds like fun.

(Problem fixed.)
That was all sorts of unfair.
Glad you could see it.

I miss Carl’s Junior sooooooo much. I know Hardee’s is technically the same, but it always seems way more low budge.
I had no idea it was the same thing. No one tells me anything.

Wait a second – she was born in 1970 (thanks, wikipedia) which means that she was in high school 1984-1988. The Thickburger wasn’t introduced until 1997! I think they’re trying to sell us a story that doesn’t add up.
Of course, we might not notice because we are being mesmerized by her legs.
Yeah and if I am recalling correctly she grew up in INDIA. I don’t think Hardee’s are in India.

I need a burger. And a cold shower. Maybe together.
Your bun will get soggy, though.

I blame you for my horrifying experience today. After 13 days of no good old Amercian food – We went out looking for a burger. unfortunately for us we found one. Let me tell you – I do not know what they used for that burger – muskrat, reindeer, siberian polecat, but it was definately NOT beef. I’ve never had anything so nasty. I know you love all things burger but I’m giving you the straight scoop here – do not order a burger in Siberia!!!
At least the fries were good.
Oh, so gross. I have written this down. Sorry you had to go through this, Tina.

This may sound cynical, but it looks as if they are using sex to sell hamburgers. I can’t be sure without a definitive analysis, but it sure seems that way based on a very casual viewing of the video. Do sex and food go together, dear heart?
Well, hello Michael. Long time no see. And yes, food and sex always go together.

There is a lot to this commercial. First, a south asian women representing what is essentially a southern red neck fast food hamburger chain. Second, Lakshmi is the name of a hindu goddess. Hindus, generally, do not eat meat and certainly do not eat beef. Third, this is a women who became a celebrity by being married to Rushdie (who himself became famous for the fatwa placed on him by the Iranian mullahs for writing Satanic Verses). Getting complicated isn’t it?
Glad one of us is thinking deep, Radman.

that totally made me miss carl’s jr. we have five guys burgers down here and they’re great but that thickburger is just unhealthy awesomeness.
radman: it’s a hot chick with long legs and a sweaty rack putting a fat piece of meat in her mouth and licking sauce from her slightly phallic fingers. you’re giving this WAY too much thought.
One day I will have Carl’s Jr and I think life will be complete.
